Ok I will accept that but at least it represented their area unlike the team we are playing as there is a Sporting Lisboa Benfica. so if anybody should be known as Sporing Lisbon it is them, IMHO.
I would think that you are wrong on that as I remember in days gone by 1966 world cup, there was 2 german sides East and West Germany, but wouldnt argue.
ps. In the 1974 World Cup East Germany beat West Germany 1-0 one of the very few times they played each other.
It amuses me that poeople and indeed our club still keep referring to them as Sporting Lisbon when no such club exists. Their correct name is Sporting Clube Du Portugal and are just based in Lisbon I would have expected BHA to get it advertised correctly.unless we are all wrong and we are...
