    Surprise, Surprise....Brazil to host 2014 World Cup

    I have confidence in Brazil's ability to host the WC. I think people are seriously underestimating the countries' capacities, development and structures. Of course there will be problems and there is a lot of work to be done, but in the end I think it will work our fine. Being a Portuguese...

    Portugal vs. Poland [P+R]

    Hey, hold your horses! RELAX, we're exactly in the same position we were before the game (because Finland and Serbia also drew), except we now can't afford to fail, our "margem de manobra" is thiner. Many people here are very oblivious to how qualifying works this time: the 2 (TWO) top teams...

    My tone was a bit off, but I keep what I said. No way was that a penalty! Liedson was clearly the one that went for the contact. And I say that not because of "clubismo", it is my genuine view of what happened. It was similar to Simão last year against Beira-Mar, the penalty was "cavado", but...

    It takes a lot of nerve for a sportinguista to talk about refereeing when they had an imaginary penalty given to them and a sending off that allowed them to play almost the entire 2nd half with one player more because of that... Liedson did it again, it was a splendid dive! I can only imagine...

    Atlético Madrid Thread [2007 - 2008]

    Well, I'm sad to see Simão leave us, but I wish him all the luck in the world. I'm a big Atlético fan, I've always liked them a lot, it's the team I support in Spain. I hope Simão can be as decisive for Atleti as he was for Benfica! Losing Torres was a big blow, but...

    It's a huge blow for us, definitely. Simão was our best and most important player, always performing at a top level for the past 6 seasons. We've lost a reference and we're definitely weaker without him. BUT, we also have to be rational and realistic. It was a very good offer, let's not...

    Yes, Pato really is that good. Fast, great technique, good finishing and strong header. A really complete striker, at only 17. But it's one of those cases where the hype may go against him, as he's only been playing as a "senior" for 6 months and still has a lot to learn. Anyway, you can check...

    Ridiculous! :nape: I was just gonna comment on those news: there is no way we're signing Alexandre Pato! No chance! Inter certainly isn't going to sell him so early, he's definitely going to stay there at least one more year. And, even if they were to sell, he's out of our budget and many...

    The SL Benfica Thread [2006-2007]

    I'm also with you: I think it's bad that FS is staying, I don't see us winning anything at all with him... Anyway, as people also know, I'm usually a big proponent of stability and keeping coaches for more than one season, so at least FS will have a platform to work from and there won't be any...

    Manchester United vs. AS Roma (second leg)

    Tremendous result by Man Utd! Who would have thought? It was truly one of those unique magical nights for them and where everything goes bad for the other team. Great goals, great plays, fantastic class shown by United! It was a delight to watch!

    Chelsea - Valencia [P]+[R]

    You didn't get it! He mentioned PSV because Liverpool won 3-0 against them, that's why he was saying 3 English teams, because he didn't see PSV overcoming that result in the 2nd leg. But if it wasn't for him, Valencia would have lost by more today, he made two savs that were completely out of...

    Waz wrong with the English.. Clueless

    Yeah, especially since they always lose against us, they're highly needed! ;) j/k Now seriously, it's exactly as you said. Several top teams many times go through difficult times in qualification, but most of the time they qualify. Now, having said this, they do need to step it up...

    The Portuguese NT Thread

    I was at the stadium and it was yet another magical night! It seems like everytime me and two friends of mine go see the NT games live, we have great displays and results. The last time, it was the 7-1 against Russia! :) You've all said everything it needed to be said, I haven't got much to...

    The Portuguese NT Thread

    Ok, I now understand what you were saying and I do agree with you, Paulo. Scolari isn't a very good tactician and maybe he could have found a better way to make use of Pauleta. But even so, the truth is that the system we play the best at is 4-5-1 and to change it we would have to sacrifice...
