another week, another GK blunder (and Liedson seems to dive but I'm not sure) and another 3 points, I should really give up watching Sporting matches, outright disturbing :(


Btw the ref screwed Porto today, tomorrow should be "feriado" :fool:

sporting winning for the 2nd straight week with direct free kicks :crazyboy:

paulo bento should measure his own words and perhaps study a the standings a little more, here's what he said:

Paulo Bento
"Vitória no dérbi dá-nos 10 pontos de vantagem sobre o Benfica"

oh well, sure it does, but did he noticed benfica still has a game to play? if benfica wins then can cut the deficit to 1 point.

btw, sporting fans, will you go to the stadium and support your robbery direction? even for socios who don't have the gamebox and just want to see this game the tickets will be about 75€!!!! these guys must be thinking everyone gets the same monthly wage as them...

According to Antena 1, the stadium will be full, so it's a matter of maximize the revenue, in a club with financial problems.

it wasn't full against Porto.

It pains me that you as Sporting supporter can get tickets for 20€ in the 2nd round match.

It's not like Benfica's finances are really good, it's a matter of principle. We could have charged insane amounts of money for last year's games against Liverpool and Barça and still sell out the stadium but we didn't. Football is the game of the masses a game for rich brats only.

This is stealing pure and simple.

Poor man...

I saw it live! I thought to myself "oh no..not again!"... the journalist spoted him and must have thought "let´s see how you do today... r u sober?"...

They shouldnt do this, the man probably has some kinda of trouble (not talking of wine), once it's funny, now it's stupidity to make fun of him! It just like if "emplastro" was interviewed everyday!

Taça da Liga já tem projecto e deve arrancar na próxima época

A Direcção da Liga de Clubes aprovou esta terça-feira por unanimidade o anteprojecto da Taça da Liga, uma nova competição que deve arrancar já na próxima temporada se, como se prevê, for aprovada em Assembleia Geral da Liga. O projecto foi apresentado por Sporting e Boavista, na sequência de um trabalho de pesquisa, e pressupõe uma nova competição que englobará todas as equipas da Liga e Liga de Honra e que seguirá um modelo de três eliminatórias, mais uma fase de grupos e uma final.

O modelo prevê uma primeira eliminatória em que os clubes são divididos por potes conforme a classificação do campeonato, sendo que os clubes da Liga ficam nos potes A e B e defrontam, sempre fora de casa, os clubes da Liga de Honra colocados nos potes C e D. Na segunda eliminatória existiram dois potes (A e B), o primeiro dos quais engloba os vencedores do jogos entre os potes A e C anteriores e o segundos os vencedores do potes B e D. Os jogos são sorteados directamente nesta eliminatória.

Na terceira ronda surgem os embates a duas mãos - anteriormente havia só uma mão - e com sorteio puro, estando todas as equipas num único pote. Finalizada esta terceira ronda, sobram apenas quatro equipas em prova, as quais disputam uma espécie de campeonato entre elas, jogando todas contra todas e muito provavelmente em campos neutros. No final desse campeonato, as duas primeiras classificadas apuram-se para uma final que se disputará apenas em um jogo e num campo também neutro. Para além do troféu de vencedor da Taça da Liga, a nova competição pressupõe também a entrega de troféus ao melhor marcador, ao melhor jogador por votação na Internet e ao melhor jogador formado localmente.


----------------------------------

Man if this is not meant to be a summer competition, I don't even know what to say, We cut 4 games out of the league to reduce games and start another f*cking sh*tty competition like this with zero interest whatsoever.

I'd be ok with it if it was a summer competition like in Germany and serve as preparation for the season.

Agreed. Uninteresting and it will only result in worst performances by the players in the other competitions already taking place.

If the likes of Setubal, Nacional, etc. already f*ck up in the first stage of UEFA cup these extra games certainly ain't gonna help them, or the big three.


On another topic, Gilberto Madail will be recandidatating to the FPF. No surprise there (unfortunately he remains there) but guess who he invites for his team? Liga's president Herminio Loureiro :nape:

I bet the same clubs voting for the Liga Cup will be the same that will use their B teams in those matches or threaten not to show up due to their busy schedules...

The only way I see this competition going somewhere is if the top clubs crap on it and it becomes sort of a minor trophy second rate teams can get their hands on, much like in England.

--------------------------

Anyone else smells the goalless draw for tomorrow's classic?

The proposed League Cup is just gonna be a massive waste of time for everyone involved. Players don't want to play the extra matches. Fans don't want to pay €50 and up just to see their B teams play on a Wednesday night. Television might want to take a pass on this, because we already have reached oversaturation with the domestic product. I'm also sure some club presidents aren't too pleased, because this might end up taking a UEFA Cup spot away from the league. All in all, a truly awful idea that needs to be put in the trash.

Starting XI
i don't think it will be goalless at all, i predict a lot of goals, and like Virgo said, it's either 3-0 or 0-3...

anyway, seems like Miccoli is suposedly fit, my opinion:

he plays, and prolongue his injury for 1 more month, or two (wich if it happens, it's the definitive incompetence atestado to our medical department(has if they haven't a bunch of them already))

who wanna make a bet?

btw, my prediction 0-3 Léo hat trick!
 

Paulo Da Silva

Starting XI
it wouldnt shock me at all if Miccolli did play. I rememebr how Benfica would never rest Mantorras in his first season, where he was constantly getting beat up on in every game. Then he got injured and was never the same. Just play Kikin

I'll be fine with Karagounis as #10 and Simao playing loose in the front in the first half. We'd be better populating that midfield anyway because Sporting always controls the midfield in Benfica x Sporting games because their midfielders help each other much more.

Then we can bring a forward in the 2nd half if things aren't going our way.


We should really save Miccoli for Old Trafford no matter what, we need his pace in the counter attacks if we are to stand a chance in that game.


PS: And I REALLY hope Ricardo Rocha doesn't play. He has been f*cking up a lot lately and he ALWAYS f*cks up in big games.
