Just been checking the European footy scores. Porto beat Braga 5-1 which is a shame as the lads were in Lisbon with no BIG games to see but Wilkie has spoken to me and they saw a couple of reasonable games. 150 clicks is too far to travel for a game when ur on tour though.
Start of dream sequence..............
.........I imagine the guys had an early breakfast in the hotel or nearby cafe , footy quiz, then went for a walk and did some sight-seeing.Group pics. Stopped for a mid-morning beer or cappuccino.Footy quiz. Perhaps a bus or train trip.Nap or footy quiz. A museum visit then a light 2 course lunch (pasta followed by spaghetti and five litres of house wine). Another local sight or a journey towards the nights footy ground or vicinity there-of. Footy quiz. A light walk around the old district or market or port. Coffee break.Post card stop. Move closer to ground, scout out a restaurant, hopefully a small friendly local one serving national dishes but probably spaghetti followed by pasta and 7 litres of house wine. Walk to ground. Search out merch shop buy shirts hats scarves programs or mementos then into ground, usually the curva or cheaper seats sometimes two miles high. Lots of pics of ground. More footy quizes. The big match, half time snacks, second half. Transport back towards lodgings, local bar. Beer and/or wine. Sleep. Nice day huh. Al
