pauli Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Friendly number four, this time in sunny Portugal, home of King Carlos and half the team. Braga will push us hard. This will be a good test of how the side is shaping up for our coming promotion battle. Tickets to get in are just 250 Euros each. (I'm kidding. it's free entry) In the 2000s, Braga gradually became one of Portugal's most successful clubs and have taken part with some success in European competitions, winning the last ever UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2008 and reaching the final of the UEFA Europa League in 2011. After finishing in second place for the only time to date in the 2009–10 Primeira Liga, Braga achieved a place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history by eliminating Celtic and Sevilla. Braga also qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2012–13 by eliminating Udinese. FUN FACTS Braga’s hooligan firm is the Ultras Red Boys. Founded by the Visigoths in the 6th century, they have a marked taste for nawtyness while at the same time headbanging to Sisters of Mercy, The Cult and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. Luckily, there will only be about three of them in attendance. THE SERIOUS BIT Venue: Estádio da Nora, Ferreiras. Kick Off: Friday 24th of July at 19:15 GMT Matchday Apparel: Loose and light so long as it’s Blue and White. Matchday Drink: Vinho Verde Casal Garcia. Matchday Pie: Albóndigas en salsa. Matchday Song: Fado Português by Amália Rodrigues as it will be far too hot to be dancing around like maniacs… MATCHDAY FACTS Head to Head We lost 3-1 last time out in a friendly at theirs. So a bit of revenge is in order. MINTYNESS REPORT Minted enough that we could persuade Taylor to do a bit of pre match tightrope walking, before realising we were at the wrong ground… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 2-0 Braga..We will play ok but just not sure at the moment where the goals are going to come from. It's one of the last areas that needs attention before the August starting gun goes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
