    Question though is the europa league for teams you didn't qualify for the UEFA tourney? You know I'm still a bit new to everything :p

    well if you fail to qualify for the champions league at the play-off stage or 3rd qualifying round, you get a crack at europa, also its dependant on league position, for instance, 5th and 6th in the english premier league get europa spots, along with the cup winners, unless of course the FA Cup winner has a CL spot then it goes to the runner up, if both cup finalist have CL spots it goes to 7th in the league, varies in different leagues tho, and if you finish 3rd in your CL group, you go into the europa league latter stages

    You never know in the final. Braga were the only team in the Portuguese League to take the lead against Porto until Porto were miles clear. Out the first 24 games and half a dozen domestic cup games Braga were the only team to go ahead in a game against them, they went ahead twice but lost 3-2 :50:

    True :84: but it was better than anyone else has done.

    I would say though that Braga have a better chance of beating Porto than Man United do of beating Barca.

    After 7 years I'll see my team playing another European Final :)

    Braga is a good team. They hold the ball very well and go for the counter with great quality.

    Obviously, I believe that we can win the final. Humility and I believe we will win again.
