Sporting Clube de Portugal booked their place in Friday's draw for the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, as Bruno Pereirinha's goal five minutes from time ended Bolton Wanderers FC's resistance and secured a 2-1 aggregate triumph.

Gary Megson paid the price for fielding an under-strength side as Bolton followed Everton and Spurs out of this season’s UEFA Cup at the last-16 stage after a 1-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon, losing 2-1 on aggregate.

Being home to over 600,000 people, Lisbon is a fairly large city. Keeping that in mind, it is a good idea to use the same safety common sense that one would use when visiting any large city. To avoid being pickpocketed, men should carry wallets in their front pockets and women should hold their bags by their bodies, not their straps, while walking or shopping. Women should also keep a close eye on their bags while eating in restaurants or using public transport. Hotel safes should be put to use to store valuables and money, and a photocopy, not the original, of your passport should accompany you when you go out. Leave the original in the safe. Carry only small amounts of cash and avoid wearing expensive jewelry and engaging in behaviors that thieves may notice, such as overtipping.www.tri

Lisbon CulturePortuguese culture is an incredible amalgamation of foreign influences, from the extensive expeditions the Portuguese explorers made all over the world, to the Moorish and Roman invasions. In the streets of the city, travelers will be spellbound by the busy and energy of Lisbon, from the artists performing, businessmen bustling in their suits, vendors selling hot chestnuts, or children playing in the parks. The city itself is littered with historical landmarks, from the Baroque architecture to restored palaces, castles and regal churches. A mix of the old and new, Lisbon is overflowing with events, music, museums, and sights that display this diversity. Lisbon also seethes with gradeur, reminiscent of when this city was the heart of the most powerful, rich nation in the worl

Marcus Brigstocke claimed on Question Time that most people in Britain had not read the EU's Lisbon Treaty.If you want to find out more about the treaty, which has just been ratified in the House of Commons, there is a link to a PDF of the text here.The BBC have provided a comprehensive guide.

We Are Change Ireland attended the Training Day on the Lisbon Treaty on Jan 2008 in Dublin. This was organized by Irish MEP Kathy Sinnott. Danish MEP Jens-Peter Bonde exposes the lies and manipulations by the EU elites to hide the significance of the treaty by making it unreadable.8, 500 more words in the treaty.62 pages less (smaller type and spacing) = mini-treaty that no one is allowed to read.

Click here toread the news report “LISBON (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe arrived in Lisbon late on Thursday for an EU-Africa summit, which Prime Minister Gordon Brown is boycotting because he would not “sit down at the same table” as him.”  hmmm…..And now my question to the Prime Minister…. Why not? Britain gave Zimbabwe in 1980 to Mugabe! So why the “sudden” change? Of course we all know the answer….!!! 27 years later and Zimbabwe is a mess! What about….South Africa…what shall we say 27 years later….or shall we adjust the time frame, because of the high spirits of many South Africans…..shall we say……27-37 years on…..or am I now a bit negative? My appreciation today goes to all my fellow South Africans staying strong and having high spirits in South Africa,  you all deserve an award!!   I will try and find the English version for this newspaper article&hell

Wow....what a blistering finish after a lacklustre start.Fergie brought in the changes after the 1-0 lost to Bolton. As expected, Ronaldo returned to the starting lineup. Fringe players Fletcher and O'Shea also featured, replacing Hargreaves and Brown respectively. Saha was sent upfront alone, with Anderson, Nani and Ronaldo supporting in the attack whenever possible.The game started brightly for us but it slowly went downhill as Sporting showed a greater urgency and understanding. Our players were guilty of trying to make the fancy pass far too often for my liking, and it resulted in way too many misplaced passes. It wasn't a surprise that Sporting went ahead in the 20th minutes, albeit from a rather fluke goal.Abel's miskicked cross somehow beat Kuszczak on his near post. Maybe he should have been better positioned but frankly I felt it was just an incredibly fluke goal. However, given the way Sporting had approached the game till that point, it was a well deserved lead. This was

Dry, drab, awful....these are a few adjectives that you could use to describe this encounter, and you're probably being way too kind. In truth this was possibly the worse game of football I've seen in a while. Well..... the Italy vs France Euro 2008 Qualifier a couple weeks back probably topped this one in terms of boredom, which is way I hope those two teams NEVER get to play one another EVER again.Despite the level of play, the condition of the pitch and the inability of both sets of players to lift their game, Ronaldo stood out. And it was probably fitting that he scored the only goal from possibly the best move of the game on the 63rd minute. It was a beautiful diving header delivered by Brown that gave the Sporting keeper no chance whatsoever. Besides the goal, the game had little to nothing to offer from every perspective.I can't really say we deserved it for turning up uninterested in the fixture, but I'll gladly take the 3 points and a step towards the next round. However I

When I was little, my dad went to Europe for work and brought me back an apron from Portugal. Forget the jokes about ‘all I got was this lousy apron…’, I loved that thing so much. It was pink and embroidered with typical colourful Portuguese flowers and motifs and a map of Portugal. It made me dream of going there one day… The steep streets of Lisbon Decades later I finally got there. And it was fantastic. I only had a few days so just went to Lisbon and, honestly, I could spend ages there. It feels like a big city with diversity and depth, culture and energy, but it’s a manageable size. (Population about 600,000 but growing fast.) More than 85% of Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, so it has the feel of being planned, with vistas to the sea down streets of similar buildings, and huge public squares. You can walk the Baixa (old town) and surrounding areas, and there is also lots of good public transport if the hills get too much, because Lisbon is set on so

Elaborate doesn’t begin to describe the interior of the Pestana Palace. Although this is a recreation of ‘haute’ 19th century European living, I’d describe it as more Rococo than Empire - the kind of place where Louis XV would have felt right at home (or Sir Elton John, in today’s terms).

The New7Wonders organization is happy to announce the following 7 candidates have been elected to represent global heritage throughout history. Chichén Itzá, Mexico Christ Redeemer, Brazil The Great Wall, China Machu Picchu, Peru Petra, Jordan The Roman Colloseum, Italy The Taj Mahal, India

flangracneig pgoramian You may have seen these “What countries have you visited?” meme before. Basically, you tick a big long list of places you’ve visited/lived in, and a map is generated with those places on them. “Why have you never done one?” I hear you say. Well, truth be told, if I did, it wouldn’t be that impressive. Just to prove it, here’s mine For Americans, Han and other people who are generally useless at geography, that red spot is the United Kingdom, the only country I have visited in the world, largely because I’ve never been abroad. The map lies too, it shows Northern Ireland being highlighted, and I’ve never been there also. Nope. England. Wales. Scotland. That’s been my exploration so far. It’s depressing, really it is. Opportunities haven’t presented themselves as, often, people’d rather go on holiday with Satan than go with me. Even when they have, I’ve used the excuse “I&rsq

We’re in Lisbon, Portugal, and so far I’ve learned a lot of Portuguese, which is a combination of many languages so you can pretty much use all your French, Italian and Spanish and make yourself understood. It has actually been harder to learn to use the European keyboard on the computer here and this is the first day I have been able to form written contractions. We were supposed to arrive Saturday but the snow in Newark nixed that plan. Lemonade out of lemons, of course, so we drove to Atlanta and toured the Coke factory and tasted forty kinds of drinks Coke sells around the world. All I have to say about that is that I am very sorry, Italy, for the bitter aperitif known as Beverly. I thought root beer was bad. The Glamore family finally arrived in Portugal Monday. As always, our vacation has centered on food thus far. We ate lunch at a “snack bar” called Cafe Tigelinha where we managed to order and devour salmon and veal. After naps for the three oldes

Most beautiful place I ‘ve ever been Belém Tower, or Torre de Belém, pron. IPA: [’toɾ(ɨ) dɨ bɨ’lɐ̃ĩ], is a fortified tower located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. It was built in the early 16th century in the Portuguese late Gothic style, the Manueline, to commemorate the expedition of Vasco de Gama. This defensive, yet elegant construction has become one of the symbols of the city, a memorial to the Portuguese power during the Age of the Great Discoveries. In 1983 it was classified, together with the nearby Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Coordinates: 38°41′29″N, 9°12′57″W

We spent a few days in Lisbon last week. As Portugal's rail network is (a) sparse, and not very useful (we would have had to get a bus and three trains) and (b) not that cheap, we decided to get the bus. This involved a half hour trip to Chaves, followed by a change and an approximately eight hour journey to Lisbon via Vila Real, Regua, Viseu, Coimbra and Fatima. It was nice to see some more of the country, we learned that not all of Portugal is as mountainous as the area we're in, but there are some very beautiful parts, especially the river Mondego near Coimbra. It's just a shame the bus driver was a bit crazy and by the time we reached Viseu (notable for the windiness of its roads) I was green in the face and desperate to stop, fortunately we got a 45 minute lunch break there which provided ample recovery, and the journey thereafter wasn't so bad. We reached Lisbon at about 4:30pm and took the train to Cascais (seaside resort where dgym's mum was staying with some friends). We
