And ... CONGRATULATIONS!

Well deserved.

The Portuguese unofficial anthem - what's the story behind that? I've heard it before - it's an old school Portuguese band, right?

It's from Xutos & Pontapés, probably the most famous portuguese rock band ever. It's just one of those songs that everyone knows, and one of the few that's not very ridiculous or very sad. It helps that it's basically the same six verses repeated over and over again. If you squint a little you can maybe say it's about immigrants returning home, but mostly I think it was chosen as the song to play after we lifted the cup because it was just a fun, popular rock song everyone knows.

Isn't that a Sporting Lisbon club song? I always associate it with Sporting Lisbon for some strange reason. Or like you said, it's just played everywhere, then?

RE: Re: RE: Thanks for the post pullhimdown July 13 2016, 18:04:58 UTC

Not at all, it's just a very popular song in Portugal. Sporting's most popular songs atm are Sinatra's My Way and The Fields of Athenry with lyric changes.

You might associate it with Sporting because we played it a fuckton of years ago when we played Figo's Inter? Figo was also a Sporting boy back in the day and the song is about coming home, so it was a way to pay homage.
