When Curiosities - When Quiz - When Challenge

 - When - * When the team started to beat the big ones, the other clubs joined and tried to apply a coup. They prohibited illiterate people from participating in the games. Vasco had to hire teachers to teach most of its players how to write the names to fill in the score sheet. Vasco was one of the first Brazilian teams to pay wages to its players, thus being able to count on low-income people on the team. This was only possible in the 1920s because the players were registered as employees of Portuguese warehouses installed in Rio de Janeiro, fans of the team, since, as it was still an amateur sport, it was forbidden to pay salaries to football players. *

As most of the Portuguese, the biggest consumers of the drink, were from Basque, the producers decided to pay for the hiring and wages of the striker from Rio Grande do Sul, Luiz Carvalho. It worked. Carvalho was a success in the field and had his image associated with the wines of Rio Grande do Sul. *

As the first one is older, it can be deduced that the composer Lamartine Babo sought inspiration for the introductory melody of the anthem he composed for Vasco in the late 1940s. *
