Looks like 3 of top 4 league clubs through in Taca albeit not playing full strength sides with Benfica's win the most impressive of the 3 , Porto's scare going to 120 minutes was amusing, Sporting's turn tonight , could there be an upset ? Reading that Porto interested in Fellaini from Man Utd, also AC Milan & Guangzhou are keen, reckon the big Belgium would pick the Chinese club out of the 3 , for football reasons & not the money
Impossible, Fellaini is too expensive and Casillas already takes most of the cash flow for salaries. Well, Sporting has been showing a lot of difficulties on away games but Feirense is having a very bad season, but it's a big game for them, so I don't know, I would say an upset is not far from happening but I think Sporting will go through
So we get a double helping of Portuguese Football on Freesport Sky 422. Porto looked good winning 4-1 away at Chaves, Soares with good hat trick , not sure they miss Aboumakar ( or something like that ) Militao played right back , very well , a few more Euros on his move to bigger club in the summer , looked cold in Northern Portugal. Guimares v Benfica coming up , hope I can stay awake.
Two very good Vitória SC v SL Benfica, both with the same result. Harsh results for Vitória SC, in the second half they could have walked away with the 3 points. Tactically two of the best games of the season. FC Porto continues to win and with style.
The 70 minutes I watched was enjoyable , nice stadium & good home atmosphere with home fans actually outnumbering away. Felix looks quality , unfortunately I didn't stay awake to see the end , long day with work etc...
There seems to be a misleading idea about Rui Pinto the Hacker who exposed a lot of stuff that, quite frankly, we all enkoyed getting out to public BUT on the side he did a lot of harmful things to other institutions and he works for the wrong kind of people, really, really, really bad people.
Benfica v Porto in the Cup tonight. Wonder how strong the teams fielded will be with games coming thick & fast. ? UK newspapers report Liverpool & Man Utd keeping eye on Felix .
It's the best League Cup final 4 to date here, with the 4 big teams. Porto is the favourite they have been unstopabble lately. Benfica is going game by game getting used to a new tactic and what not so i'd say tonigh it's 70/30 to Porto. I'm not surprised, João Félix is best talent from Benfica's academy after Bernardo Silva
What happened tonight in Braga was a tribute to the FC Porto corruption in the 80's and 90's. Benfica should have never returned to the pitch for the second half
Braga manager and president also tearing a new one to the refereeing from this final 4. Benfica and Braga should expose this fraud of Final 4 to UEFA
I asked a Benfica fan at work if there was anything untoward going on as seen you've mentioned some wrong doings , he was saying someone has already been put in prison for misdemeanors what's your take on things.
If he was talking about the hacker, he's not n prison....yet. Former Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho was now acused of being the mastermind behind Cashball (Sporting's corruption case mostly to do with Handball)
Braga’s president and manager were absolutely pathetic after the game. When they got spanked by yourselves they were all smiles, but I suppose that’s what comes from being Benfica B A questionable call against us and all of a sudden the refereeing is appalling/ should be suspended etc. Sore losers
