Tuga club. They always had a strong working class appeal, not to mention their following among Portuguese small business owners, but their gimmick had always been that they were tugas. The tugas from the bakery, the grocery store and the butcher were vascaínos, and you'd make fun of them on monday after winning against them. If you listen to the 1998 Unidos da Tijuca samba-enredo they still sing during games, it's all about Portugal. There isn't a single word about fighting muh racism because that was never a central element to their identity. But then you talk to a 22yo vascaíno and he'll lecture you about how your club didn't like black people and yadda yadda yadda.
