Portugal is a totally fair and balanced football country.

>>149169627 (OP)
I believe it's called Portugália

>>149169627 (OP)
I always found it insane how concentrated the power in Portuguese football is.
2 (TWO) champion outside the big 3 in almost 100 years. even we have it better, hell, even Scotland has it better if you look at full history.
how did this happen?

I saw a swedish documentary about boavista from this spring, will boavista disolve as a club now?

>>149170172
Haha, the little countries, Croatia and Portugal discussing their leagues
Big country America
Croatia very little, everyone die

>>149169627 (OP)
>six (6) lisbon teams
Pinto da Costa turning in his grave.

>>149169627 (OP)
for me it's Argentina

>>149169627 (OP)
>>149176798
disturbingly grim

What is inland Portugal like?

>>149169627 (OP)
How is that bad? No one even lives in the grey area.

>>149176603
Bring back Campomaiorense and Bragança

>>149176798
>naming your club after your favorite animal
neat

>>149176905
Didn’t Viseu, Coimbra and Evora have their clubs at first division?

You think so? In red are the provinces with teams that have won a local tournament

>>149177021
Only coimbra as far as I remember, but even still was like 10 years ago

>>149176847
Facist elderly people in crumbling stone shacks

New jersey gatos fc

>>149169627 (OP)
Should be like this:
>FC Porto
>Boavista
>Salgueiros
>Ramaldense
>Cruz
>Leixoes
>Leça
>Rio Ave
>Varzim
>Gondomar
>Tirsense
>Desportivo das Aves (the real one, not the fake version of Vilafranquense)
>Paços de Ferreira
>Freamunde
>Penafiel
>Paredes
>Pedras Rubras
>Maia
>Amarante
>Valonguense
Hope I am not forgetting anyone

>>149170172
Much of the country is sparsely populated and not exactly economically prosperous. Out of the Porto, Lisbon and Braga metropolitan areas, your typical Portuguese city doesn't have enough people to fill the Wembley.

>>149177760
They need to build suburbs and invite immigrants to drive the new jobs created in beautiful downtowns

>>149177760
Okay but you should have contenders in these big population centers, no? There are plenty of clubs there.
It's not even that other teams don't win the Portuguese league, they don't even finish in fucking top 3, almost every year it's just the Big 3 at top 3 in different order. The lack of parity is fucking crazy.

>>149177760
>Out of the Porto, Lisbon and Braga metropolitan areas, your typical Portuguese city doesn't have enough people to fill the Wembley.
M8, Moreirense's town can't even fill up its own fucking stadium!

>>149169627 (OP)
Portuguese league should have this lineup

>>149178286
>no Rio Ave
who are you trying to fool lilbro

>>149170172
lol wat, Scotland has a big 2 and you have a big 1

>>149176798
agglomeration effects innit

>>149176847
90% of the population is 65+ years old and it's dotted with tiny villages that look like roman ruins because the people left decades ago

>>149178356
We just had Rijeka win the double mate, it's a club on the level of Braga in our league

>>149178223
That's it could happen but it isn't rare for one or two clubs to concentrate all the following, money and prestige in a city. Other than London and Istanbul, no European cities come to my mind where you have more than two big clubs (which is the case for Lisbon). You'd have to look for that in Latin America, where the major cities are disproportionately more populous and wealthier than the rest of the country to absurd degrees.

>>149177760
Why dont people make Evora a cultural center like the good old days 7000 years ago

>>149178402
You have other clubs winning the cup some times, but since Boavista won in 2001 only Braga came close in 2009 with 2nd place 5 pts behind, smaller clubs have no chance it's like being dortmund and trying to win the league vs 3 bayern like teams

>>149170334
Idk.
They're beyond broke, like can't pay the bills of the lights in the stadium broke.

>>149178531
damn Benfica really sucks in the Cup huh
winning the cup is nice but yeah that siutation is kinda fucked, if i were a non Big 3 club fan in Portugal i'd probably kms or find another hobby to watch

Inland Portugal and Evora in perticular is enchanted, they have lots of Megalithic monuments, roman ruins and a very big Psy-Trance festival called BOOM Festival.

Portu"bros" here on /sp/ are LYING to YOU, they want to keep inland portugal to themselves, im a whistleblower to spread the truth THEY are HIDING from you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e3paZPwVYU

>>149178621
Most fans outside of the big three watch football as an hobby, they know they're not going to win the championship, it's more of an weekend event where you drink beers and eat a bifana with the lads.
They have their rivalries and in the end are fighting for Europa league spots or avoid relegation.
In a way I think they suffer less than the big three supporters that only want to win no matter what, but two of them will always lose.

>>149178582
they got the owner Gerard Lopes who had been the owner of clubs that has failed financially and dissolved when he was running them, clubs like Lille and Bordeux

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58ZTBIfghM0&t=2787s

Its in swedish but you can just download doulingo

>>149178630
Am I too old to go to boom?

>>149178880
nah, im 30(really not that old i know but still) and im planning to go a year when i have the economy for it, there are probably people aged 55 there

>>149178914
I want to go to a festival after I'm lean and I roid up i wonder If a woman would touch me there if I did steroids

>>149178980
heres a tip, dont search for a festival you think look cool, you will probably find the women-folk in lots of festivals. Find what music style you absolutely love and look at festivals for that style.

>>149179031
I have to think about that. I haven't listened to music in a long time you know what I like when there is no words

>>149177760
I don't think this stands. Tunisia also has 10 million people and they have at least 4 major clubs + 2 other follower clubs. Portugal has 3 clubs and that's it

>>149178531
4 teams there are dead and Boavista is dying
this shit is being cursed, teams cant wven win the cup without dying

>>149169627 (OP)
its where the money (industry) and people are
the only things weird here is Setúbal, Académica, Beira-Mar, and Espinho being dead, since that would make sense in this system

>>149170172
Pontos corridos causes that, specially in smaller countries. The big teams will always be at the top, making more money, and eventually they will be the only ones there.

>>149178630
psytrance is for 17 year olds dude grow up

>>149169627 (OP)
Literally what happens in the grey areas??

>>149178286
All the crests are based

>>149169627 (OP)
Yeah, unlike US elections, everything in the world usually happens where people live, empty land don't produce anything, and shouldn't vote either

>>149191376
you visit your grandpas once a year and walk in the streets made of rock and the old people are sitting outside of their homes and look at you while you walk like you're a celebrity

>>149176798
>3 teams named CAT
Kek what a cat

>>149192317
vgh truly we are the same

What’s the Portuguese equivalent to puto/puta?

Porto is losing to Palmeiras tomorrow

>>149195333
Puto means little kid here, if you're looking for a derogatory term for fag it would be paneleiro.
Puta is the either a prostitute or a very whorish women.
>>149195619
Likely, we're rebuilding our team, our defense for example is a huge mess.

>>149176847
old people and an influx of african 'students' to clean their asses and pajeet slaves

>>149191376
>Literally what happens in the grey areas??
I live by the cost in one of the grey areas, It's basically the same as the rest of the white areas on the map.
If you travel inland is where this >>149192317 starts happening, but at the same time it's the most genuine Portugal you can get, the rest of the country is getting too "tourist trappy".

>>149191376
old people and an influx of african 'students' to clean their asses and pajeet slaves

>>149176798
yep delusional butthurt chart why not add to Argentina Bolivia and Chile too?

>>149176909
>both algarve and alentejo kicked out of the league
it's over

>>149207575
Campo Maior is in alentejo or beja?

>>149213121
Beja is part of Alentejo. Alentejo is formed by districts of Setúbal, Évora and Beja

>>149169627 (OP)
Southern Portugalbros, our excuse?

>>149178286
Based but needs Nacional for the yearly seething due to the fog

Love standing stones me.

>>149215144

>>149177021
We did back in 1989.
Now we are going for the 13th consecutive season in the 2nd tier.

2nd tier
For me it's my own, Chaves(the other interior team) and Leiria(the other middul team)

>>149215803
my own being
>>149215631

What's it like having what I assume are mostly poor, modest Azores/Madeira clubs in the soccer pyramid? Just seems crazy to have a tiny, tiny country and one or two American Western Conference-style flights you have to make

>>149169627 (OP)
the entire thread is stupid
here let me help you

>>149216121
Some comfy reddit graph, which basically tells us the fiercest populations.
Average assistence over the last season, divided by the population of the urban area.

>>149216214
I guess assistence means attendance?

we're in here
>>149215325
>>149215325
>>149215325

>>149216241
yes, attendance

>>149215991
Nacional, Marítimo and Santa Clara get funds from the regional governments, which in turn get a lot of funding from the mainland and the EU. Plus, they pay lower taxes.
Overall, the impact from the flights is insignificant on the professional leagues (top 2 tiers)

>>149216214
Incredibly based moreinse with half the city attending every game

>>149213461
And Portalegre

>>149213121
Beja is in Alentejo
Campo Maior is in northeastern alentejo near Elvas and the border with spain

>>149199035
interior Portugal is actual authentic 100% Portugal portugal
the coastal cities are literally disney land for foreigners.
Even the people serving the tourists are foreigners lmao

>>149170574
Dude, your football is shit

>>149213607
We're all fat from eating migas and pata negra all day

>>149221036
I just remember them from PC Futbol 2001, they were at First Division back then

>>149215631
Forza!! I stopped there to lunch back in 2016 on my way from Lisboa to Verin kek

>>149178286
>Those Coimbra, Boavista and Guimaraes logos.
Perfection.

>>149222877
A team from Alentejo profundo being in the first division sounds insane considering today not even major urban centers like Setubal and Coumbra have first division teams
Nowadays it's literally 5 or so Lisbon teams vs 8 or so Porto teams

How exciting

>>149225547
>A team from Alentejo profundo being in the first division
Delta Cafés played a major role here, until they figured out it made no sense to keep financing Campomaiorense.
Without industrial support, you definitely can't climb the football pyramid in Portugal. That's why we see so many random teams from the north and upper centre of the country. Lots of industry there.
In Alentejo there's not a lot of industrial centres rivaling the northern ones. Maybe only Sines and Évora.

>>149178630
How do you know about Boom?
Yeah its a great festival for a different type of public not your average comercial fesrival.

>>149227184
Sines team could work.
Get all the dockworkers and their families on board and the rest get dragged long.

A new PREC is needed to make Alentejo great again

>>149228021
America literally had submarines underneath Lisbon to prevent us from becoming commies lmao

>>149227184
I would be happy with the Setubal team coming back
The Setubal-Palmela area has a shit ton of industry, the volkswagen factory alone is like 2% of our national gdp not including all the indirect supply chain jobs

>>149228142
>supports commie guerrilas to bankrupt your nation and empower socialists
hehehe

>>149228142
Also people don't realise that Portugal would literally balkanise if the commies got their way, and I'm not exagerating
Alvaro Cunhal literally worked with the soviet union to undermine the west

>>149228169
the good thing is commies lost their appeal when they became socially liberal and alienated their working class landless peasant base of setubal and alentejo

>>149228169
>T-thanks cia, we didnt really want angola or algo

>>149228220
the portuguese left was the one that pushed for the independence of the colonies tbqh
Yes america was pushing for total european decolonisation but our left went beyound america's requests

What are some nice places to visit in Portogal

>>149228266
the everywhere but porto, lisbon, or algarve parts

try terceira island

>>149228234
Its always like that, colonists are fucking retards, they overestimate their capacity of keeping things working without a bigger country around

holy fuck that's perfect

>>149227184
>Sines
Lovely. Here's your stadium bro

>>149230804
build some stands and it's perfect
the rocky vicentine coast is a soulful af location for a stadium

Isn't this the normal trajectory? The most prosperous regions/cities have the best teams. My one is no better the last few seasons its all been Dublin teams winning

>>149228220
My grandpa killed some niggers in angola then fled here afterwards as portugal was too shit then, ironically we are going back now as bostil got worse

>>149230837
>portugal was too shit then
Nice way to say your family wanted to preserve their position of privilege, just like the Champalimaud, the Mello, the Espírito Santo, etc

>>149230887
>you have to accept confiscation of your propriety because???hmm, YOU JUST HAVE TOO, OKAY!?

>>149230887
we literally had commies stealing people's stuff after the dictatorship collapsed
mainland portugal was insanely unstable

>>149230937
>you have to perpetuate feudalism's riches forever because???hmm, YOU JUST HAVE TOO, OKAY!?
The Espírito Santo family returning worked great btw hahaha. Thank you for trickling down your riches milord

>>149230957
>commies stealing people's stuff
You mean hungry people trying to settle the score with their former exploiters

>>149228273
Will I get attacked by locals as a white man if I travel outside the tourist traps?

Will I be safe if I wear my Nuno Gomes #21 shirt?

>>149231753
sure
why not

Embarrassing posts.
Unironically touch some grass.

>>149230816
A cricket stadium perhaps. Or whatever sport the jeets there love.

>>149233033
Uhmmmm actually the jeet plantations is one municipality down sweety, everything from milfontes to aljezur is basically sunny canada

You're never safe, because you're insecure
