They play in the Paulista Championship and Santos is in the state of São Paulo, so yes, they ARE from São Paulo.Quote:

Anyway, they are getting pumped. :na na::flag:
There is a difference from Sao Paulo and Sao Paulo State. Trying going to the city of Santos and telling them they are from Sao Paulo. Let me know how get on!Quote:

that is very true (although it is in the same State not City). It still took us nearly 2 hours to travel from San Paulo to Santos! ����Quote:

Quite the thing.
Arrived this morning. Some read and amazing to think it was the Brazilians who were disappointed in a Hibs side they expected more of but the players were exhausted and the trip was seen as a hardship!Quote:

The Nutmeg article appears to suggest something different to that.Quote:

Here's our own, Mr Irvine Welsh, in Brazil getting drunk and talking about Hibs. Some boy likes.

According to this it was the 1970 Brazilian football encyclopedia which waxed lyrical about Hibs' style of play:Quote:
