F.C. Porto - is a Portuguese Football Club which won two UEFA Champions League and two Intercontinental Cups which is now known as the FIFA Club World Championship. It was founded during the early 1890s to have been established in Porto in 1893 by a wine-salesman António Nicolau de Almeida. He first had contact with the game of football in one of his trips to England. The club was revived in 1906 by Monteiro da Costa.

After 51 years playing at the Estádio das Antas they moved to the Estádio do Dragão which was completed in 2003 and was one of the venues for Euro 2004.

Porto is, along with Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal. The club has the best international record by a Portuguese team and has the second best internal record (just behind rivals Benfica) in the Portuguese Championship, having participated in it 72 times, playing 1988 games, winning 1287, drawing 369, losing 332, scoring 4427 goals and conceding 1876, having 3204 points as of the end of the 2005-06 season.

Ok being a "portista" In my fifth season I have won the Euro 2x league 4 x, the portuguese cup 2x, portugese super cup 3 x, Sold Lucho and Anderson for a combined 45 million to Real and used it to deepen the squad. Bought Ryan Babel, Leyrielton, Modric and Lucas with that money. Pepe puts in for a transfer in year 2 and had a hard time replacing him. Finally got Pareja and he's doing a good job.

[retired_nobody cares]

ive just started a new season with FC Porto, who shuld i keep, sell, buy? i currently have 4.1 mill to spend, help would be greatly appreciated

[retired_rvhsvh1]

Barbosa is vastly underrated.

[retired_steele]

Got myself

Leandro Lima for 3.8m €
Dalla Valle for 140k€
Floro Flores for 1.2m €
Golanski for 850k to replace Bosigwa which i sold for lazio for about 3.5m
and bought Sahili for 775k, i still have 2m to spend was wondering if i could get myself some good defenders or defensive midfielders for porto

[retired_steele]

i might also need a new goalkeeper as helton is an insult to that position...he is really underrated...shamefull
