Reasons To Adopt
Here is the argument for Sporting CP: Portugal, Portugal Liga NOS, and a ground called Tapadinha. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
The calendar you inherit
Following Portugal Liga NOS means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Portugal becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1906 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Nothing won, everything to play for
The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting Sporting CP is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.
Close to the pitch
Tapadinha holds about 4,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
