Yesterday at practice Coelho lined up this team as the blue team:

AZUIS: Abel Xavier, Fernando Couto, Beto, Rui Jorge, Paulo Bento, Rui Costa, Figo, Capucho, Sá Pinto e Nuno Gomes.

Baia was on net. Sousa is still recouping.

The "Azuis" beat "os Amarelos" by a score of 9-1.

Amarelos: Espinha, Secretario, Jorge Costa, Dimas, Vidigal, Conceicao, JVP, Pauleta, Costinha

Nuno had a hat trick, Rui Costa 2, Figo 2, Couto 1 and Sa Pinto 1.

Conceicao scored the only goal for the "amarelos".

Interesting...

I hope Coelho doesn't get the inclination to bench Joao Pinto. I have great faith that Joao Pinto will shine in this summer's footbal extravaganza!!! You see what happened when Joao Pinto didn't play against italy. We got smoked!!!!!

Viva Joao Pinto
Viva Portugal
Viva o attaque do Benfica!!!!

Thats VERY interesting...maybe theres a lesson to be learned.

You guys expect him to shine every summer and he never does.

Why do we keep insisting on Joao Pinto???
He has done nothing this past year to even merit a starting spot in the line-up. Players shouldn't start on fumes alone, they should prove that they are going to be productive!
Sa Pinto had a better year, and his record on the select team, besides hitting a coach, is almost as good.
