Living in Lisbon


Supporting Benfica especially as a foreigner is like supporting Manchester United in UK as a Brexit dodger. ie....just because they are famous and invariably win.

If you really want to blend with the locals pick some no hopers out of the big three like Estoril or Belenses (both Lisbon outskirts)
 
i was there for a day on the school cruise in 1970 went to the Estadio da Luz and the Vasco da Gama statue that's all i can remember hope this helps

Fuxk that. Sunderland have been dog shit for almost all of the 30 years I’ve been a supporter.

I’ve earned a shot at trophies

Benfica won sweet FA last season, nada :)

Ps....don't take my advice as I decided to support Famalicao, bought the shirt and everything, turns out they are a Premier League Hartlepool.
