DRAGOM
As for sure I have already much publicized, I AM a tru football fan. not a fanatic, but fan.I love the game in every aspect (except the political one).And even though nobody is more in love with my city and its "aura" then me, I am a Benfica fan (a club from Lisbon).Ok ok someone once told me...."eh nobody can be perfect" true! so this is my sin.
So as a sinner I went to the Dragão (dragon stadium here in Porto to watch the big derby between the clubs on tp of the classification at the moment. I had to be an "undercover" agent, as there were only places for 1000 Benfica fans (there 50000 people in the stadium), so I, alongside with Cila, her father and cousin (all Porto supporters), went to the middle of the Porto fans.You can imagine that I had to be calm all the time.
But what I want to write about is how wonderful the stadium was, how nice the game was (not spectacular, but thrilling enough), how cool it was the whole party "scene" created for the match. Of course two people (benfica supporters) were arrested, and of course outside I saw a Porto fan getting beaten up because is scarf, though it was a porto one, had some red (Benfica colour) and somebody slapped him in the face.
But I was more pleased in the end, to see Benfica draw the match. Ok Ok, victory should be the thing. Correct! But if you consider that it was all losses for my club in 11 years....
This means I am a lucky charm for the club.... I was last year present in Lisbon when (against Porto) they won the cup (first title since 95), and now again, when after 11 years they got a point (yes I know, one lousy point) in Porto.
So for all this...... thank you Porto, thank you football, thank you BENFICA! SLB SLB SLB :)
Take care y'all
