The Wikipedia article of the day for September 30, 2016 is FC Porto in international club football.
FC Porto's record in international club competitions is the best among Portuguese association football teams. They have won two UEFA Champions League (1987, 2004) and two UEFA Europa League (2003, 2011) titles, one UEFA Super Cup (1987), and two Intercontinental Cups (1987, 2004). They were also the runners-up in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1984 – their first European final – and in the UEFA Super Cup in 2003, 2004, and 2011. They played their first international competition match against Athletic Bilbao for the 1956–57 European Cup, and have qualified every season for UEFA competitions since 1974–75. After their 1986–87 European Cup success, Porto won the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup in their first appearances, and they remain the only Portuguese team to have won either of these trophies. Tomislav Ivić and José Mourinho, former head coaches, each won a record two international titles. Former Portuguese goalkeeper and captain Vítor Baía holds the club record for most international appearances (99), while Colombian striker Radamel Falcao holds the record for goals, with 22.

Wikipedia article of the day for September 29, 2016
Posted by Unknown |
07:11
The Wikipedia article of the day for September 29, 2016 is Isopoda.
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives. Most isopods are small greyish or whitish animals with rigid, segmented exoskeletons. They have two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen for respiration. Aquatic species live in marine or freshwater habitats, mostly on the bottom, but some can swim for a short distance. Terrestrial forms tend to be found in cool, moist places. Around 4,500 species dwell in salt water, 500 in fresh water and another 5,000 on land. Some isopods eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter, others are grazers or strain food particles from the water around them, a few are predators, and some are parasitic, mostly on fish. Some species are able to roll themselves into a ball to conserve moisture or as a defence mechanism. The fossil record of isopods dates back to the Carboniferous period (in the Pennsylvanian epoch), at least 300 million years ago, when they lived in shallow seas.
