Not been much content on the Portugal trip at all, has there? Just a few American Football pics.

Anyone know whether they played any games, when they’re back, etc?

Or what we’re doing next. Still no games announced to my knowledge :(

They were at the Campus at Quinta Do Lago on the Algarve.
I don’t believe they played any matches just training and fitness work.
They left for the uk yesterday afternoon.
I went down to watch and had a quick chat with VK on his exit.
It’s was 31 deg down there yesterday!

Definitely didn’t play any games. It was just to have a week back because of it being such a long close season for us. Amazingly it’s almost six weeks since we last played yet our next opponents were still playing last weekend.

Might not be any truth to it, that's from the Genk website.

The successful coach has certainly not forgotten Belgium. He shops there regularly
They make it sound like a trip to ASDA
