    A few more curiosities: - 6 of the stadiums were brand new, the other 4 were extensively expanded for Euro 2004; - the Braga stadium is carved into a rocky mountain, giving it a very original and surreal setting, the idea of renown architect Souto Moura.

    The Braga one is my favourite. It is so unusual, but I’m not sure I’d like watching footy there. As I always stand behind the goal at Telford United, i’d be perched on a rock if I wanted to do that at Braga!
