I'm prone to premonitions. I can visualize what Seinfeld rerun is going to be on next week before

Given that intro, I'm going to call it.

Costuma-se frequentemente dizer mal dos adeptos dos clubes, ou melhor daquilo a que se chama
claques, e, na maioria dos casos com razão, dado o comportamento anti-social que muitas têm. No
entanto é justo referir-se o amor que muitas destas pessoas manifestam aos clubes e s
selecções nacionais.
A globalização faz-se sentir também no futebol de selecções. Na história recente do futebol
português um grande número de jovens das ex-colónias optaram jogar pelas Selecções Nacionais.
Desta vez foi ao contrário. Boa sorte Stélvio.
Stélvio, jovem que o Sp. Braga cedeu U.
