"Porto” fans mourn – Departed to the afterlife perhaps the most famous president of the team ever, Pinto da Costa.

On this occasion, the media of this country recalled a prophecy made earlier by the leader.

"Those who think the whole country is just Lisbon are very mistaken.

To those lunatics who wish for my death, I will smile, but I do not forget them.

On my funeral day, the city of Porto will cry, and Lisbon will feel the shake, because I am Pinto da Costa,” the Portuguese had said.

Coincidence or not, but everything happened just as described. Mourning Porto football fans were able to say goodbye to their long-time president even at the team’s stadium, while Lisbon’s surroundings were shaken today by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale.
