SL Benfica [2011|2012]

Great win against Nacional, to bad we failed so many chances of goal we could easily scored 8 goals.

Anyway 4-1 its good enough, 2 goals from Rodrigo, 1 of Garay and another of Cardozo

Now CL time, Javi Garcia its out so i guess it will be Matic on Javi place against Zenit

Can't comment on the game as I couldn't watch it. :-( Shame cause everybody tells me it was one of our best displays at Luz this season..

Regarding the CL match Garcia will be missed for sure, hopefully Matic will be ready and motivated to replace him.

It seems the temperature in St. Petersburg will be around -20º C. This is no excuse of course but I think this is bad for football itself, the aggravated risk of injuries for the players, cold as **** for the spectators and most likely a poor display of the teams - we won't be able to make use of our players superior technical ability.

Needless to say it's gonna be a tough match.

Here's my theory on Javi Garcia: he ALWAYS makes a foul. The only thing that depends is whether the ref awards it or not.

I'm sure you can bring out the Maicon clip, as I could bring out a hundred other. Let's just stop this nonsense, it's getting idiotic. I heard Benfica fans complaining about the ref in a u-12 game, ffs. Jesus (not Jorge).

lol that's even outside the box... At least bring up something you're actually right about.



I love it that you try to bring something that actually goes on Benfica favour, but what you fail to recognize is that these aren't mistakes, they are decisions made on purpose and with a goal.


I could easily paste here the play where Maicon is offside like you said, but sadly there's no need. Once again Benfica was robbed, regardless of not making a good exhibition. I don't deny we didn't play like we should have, the players looked tired, Luisão and Garay still not ok physically, JJ making bad choices.. This is all true. But what is also true is that we are constantly robbed and it changes the outcome of the matches...



This play at the first minute... And then just before HT..



You could argue the ref didn't see it or something, but he is clearly looking at the play on the 2nd one.. FFS



LFV is an idiot for supporting the current FPF board of directors.. This was sooo expectable, I believe I had the opportunity to say it here some time ago..

Like I said, it's idiotic. You're wrong, though (obviously). Javi touches him before getting inside the area, but the push occurs inside the area. Nevermind though, we'll never agree. Still, 1st place feels good, thanks.

Of course I'm wrong. Afterall, I was the one who took the picture and wrote its subtitle, not a journalist from "O Jogo", that newspaper publicly famous for having a close relationships with Benfica.. You're right.

It doesn't surprise me you're glad to win the league using any means necessary, I see you're happy to use the same speech you used to use before the Apito Dourado scandal came out, that people are creating conspiracies, it's all part of people's imagination, etc. You know what they say, people are fast to forget.

I remember someone (the long gone Virgo, I believe) asking how could Porto fans believe all the big decisions went on their favour (for years..) by luck, but the truth is you don't really care, do you? All you care is you win, it doesn't matter how.

As long as your admittedly corrupt president lives and the sinister web of interests he built remains, it's all fun and games.

Like I give a **** what a journalist writes. And no, my proven innocent President has nothing to do with your mediocre club not winning ****.

Regarding the trophy Benfica just won for the fourth consecutive time, what exactly is it's significance, given the winner doesn't even qualify for the Europa league? Plus it's format's truly weird as well...

Dunno, i only saw him perfoming against Benfica and he destroyed our defence, hes 19/20 years old, but yeah pretty much expensive for a team who fights for League Cup every year.

Thats how Benfica deals works.

Hey look theres a great player who costs 2M€, OMG we are Benfica we give 15M€ for him right now!!

Benfica was after Falcao at the time he went to Porto, but they think it was expensive, they prefer to spend some 10 M € on 5 brazilians who are loaned 6 months after.
