The entire nation of Portugal was outraged and shocked when Miguel Lopes showed up for the NT with this awful shirt, offending and corrupting our poor children who take footballers like him as examples of extremely cultured people.

That shirt is actually referencing a quote from critically acclaimed 1986 film Blue Velvet, although apparently several others have used it since then. Can't look at that face and think he went with the antiquated film reference rather than "Hmm, this is vulgar, I'll take it" though.

He claims someone gave it to him, and that it is indeed a reference to the movie, yeah.

Not Portuguese, but I believe it says

"Jesus, stop loving around and return us to European and national glory"

Yes, that's it. FYI: Jesus is the name of Benfica's manager, not the other Jesus. This inevitably makes for oh so hilarious puns in newspapers, of course.

Boavista is one of the five portuguese teams to have ever been champions of the league, three of which you probably already know of (Porto, Benfica and Sporting), one of which which was champion ages ago (Belenenses in the 60s), and Boavista.

Boavista's presidents were the Loureiro family, Valentim and his son João. Major Valentim Loureiro was also the president of the city of Gondomar. You can see where this is going, right? Oh, yeah, TOTALLY coincidentally, the year Boavista won the title, the Major was the president of the Portuguese League, and two other notable figures in our football (president of the referees, iirc?) were also Boavista fans.


João Loureiro and the most notable Boavista fan, Manuel do Laço.

They were involved in the Apito Dourado ("Golden Whistle") process which also involved FCP's president Pinto da Costa, and were charged with corruption. Porto took a six point docking, which didn't stop us from winning the league with a 13 point league, but poor Boavista got hosed HARD. They were sent to the second division and fell into a downward spiral, only surviving because of, essentially, charity. Players playing for free, or almost free, former players contributing, free food because the bar lady was a big fan, etc.



Manuel do Laço when Boavista got kicked to the second division.

Well, yesterday their luck appears to have turned around, as they will be getting promoted to the first division again administratively. They'll probably get paid a huge sum, too.

This is what defeat looks like.
Porto scored a goal on minute 90+1, probably taking away the championship from Benfica.

Sounds like an exiting, competitive league.

It's two leagues in one, you get to watch "will Benfica not drop the title this year?" and the hilarious scramble for 3rd-6th place between everyone else.
