Building a strong team has nothing to do with a players nationaliTY. A team has to do it's best with it's available resources, to be the best they can be. Stop the complaining , whay's next to many Blacks, Asian or anyone else not of Portuguese origin, it's a new world. Also, you must oppose the building of Portuguese players by foreign team like Chealse , ManU and there is a team in Romania with 4 or 5 Portuguese players, the Fans love them and welcome them.
Ok, the Finish. If Braga keeps playing at this level , I just might have to turn in my Porto Jersey.

YEs ok Nathan, Braga are developing foreign talent but they do not have the financial resources like Benfica. Benfica's the richest clubs and has an academy with more brazilian players then portuguese. That's their ACADEMY!

I can't even remember any portuguese player that came from Benfica's academy playing for the national team. Fabio Coentrao is from rio ave's academy.

Danny, you can't be serious! Who cares about the national team? Well, everyone on this site does for one (I think). Everyone who loves their country, or supports their favorite team will desire that the proper measures are taken to ensure its success. Why do you not care about the national team? If you don't care, then maybe you should go to some other football forum and complain about things. This forum is for Portuguese football and yes, we do care about the Seleccao.

Why do clubs have an obligation to the Portuguese NT? They just need to win so cheapest and best players are what they need. Portuguese people tend to care so much about the NT in every conversation that involves clubs.

Nathan u know what I'm talkin about, pat you want to talk about brazilians look at benfica if any Portuguese clubs that should be using home talent it should be benfica! They have the money to keep them home instead of selling then abroad.

Actually, Braga needs to focus on becoming a bigger club before they can really bring up Portuguese talent. Braga is really smart and have proven it by building a team like they have with very minimal resources. If you haven't listened to the latest Portugoal podcast about Braga, you should hear all of the financial stats that they gave about Sevilla and Braga. It is crazy to listen to how much more money Sevilla has than Braga, yet Braga beat them home and away.

These kinds of moves reveal just how intelligent Braga is. They are trying to find the right pieces to the puzzle as opposed to just buying costly, famous players like most teams do nowadays.

yeah, let's help develop youngsters for other nations rather than for our own....
