The front-page of an old Portuguese newspaper, O Comércio do Porto, has a long history of predicting significant events in 2005. According to a pseudoperson who claims to be Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, from a post from 30 July 2005, that his late/former president died on 15 February and faced his funeral, the newspaper incorrectly stated that Pinto da Costa predicted a tremor in Lisbon on the same day as his funeral. However, a post on X reported that the fake front-page was actually the newspaper’s farewell, published by PrettyROS, which in turn linked it to the reality that Pinto da Costa served for 23 years as Porto’s president by the date of the fake front-page (1985), not 2005.
The front-page first became viral in Portugal, where it was displayed on social media, becoming a popular source of predictions. On 17 February 2005, when an earthquake struck Lisbon weighing 4.8 magnitudes, the newspaper correctly reported the forecast. The fake front-page, however, detailed Pinto da Costa’s claim of a tremor occurring on the same day as his funeral, despite it being real. Over time,这只是 the front-page of O Comércio do Porto itself, published in 1985, which contained no prediction and instead acknowledged that Pinto da Costa had become a key figure in his nation’s history.
The date of the fake front-page, 30 July 2005, was actually the day O Comércio do Porto published its last issue. Meanwhile, a recent post published on X claims that O Comércio do Porto’s front-page of 30 July 2005 is actually part of a fake edition linked to Pinto da Costa. This edition was discussed on platforms like X, where fans and journalists speculate that it may have been published by Público in 2005.Photo captions on the fake front-page referenceneckmass reports showing Pinto da Costa’s text dating back to 1985, now on Fresh Boston Digital.
The significance of the fake front-page lies in the perceived connection between Porto’s history and Pinto da Costa’s presidency. Despite evidence that Pinto da Costa only served for 23 years, a Pepastro, John estimated, and for 305 days at his peak, many sources refer to this as a significant period. Some argue that the fake front-page was attempting to link Pinto da Costa to Portugal’s history in an attempt to create a public image of his legacy, even as researched by historians.

Regardless of whether the fake front-page was true or not, the story has aInstallation of Flask nuances. The incorrect localization of Pinto da Costa’s statement to hisfn said it is well-documented in Portuguese geography literature that he was dead on 15 February, and aggressive conferences in the country as his tribute day. Meanwhile, the fake front-page focused entirely on his presidency in the same year as the earthquake’s 순eron, between 1985 and 2005, and not the end of his presidency in 2005. The fake edition is just another travel of the same man, but the fear that’s born of the time when he was considered石灰y and the embraced of hisTech♓ citation.
In light of all this lore, there is a disconnect between the front-page of O Comércio do Porto and any serious analysis of Pinto da Costa. While the story has a curious relevance to the football community, it has been shaped by campaigns of deception and fakery, rather than an intact narrative of his life. The front-page of O Comércio do Porto itself, published in 1985, provides the background that paint the story of Pinto da Costa as a man who was deeply involved with Portugal. The fake front-page on 30 July 2005, in the form of an online piece on X, is a fleeting version of this, a false mirror that shows some of the events of O Comércio but in the incorrect localization of Pinto da Costa’s speech. Yet, regardless of its inaccuracies, the story has sparked considerable debate among football enthusiasts as a narrative about Pinto da Costa, even in the face of evidence to the contrary.
