He also reminded the press that Benfica is currently playing for 3 championships and winning the league is the most important.

"A resposta que temos que dar é o que temos vindo a fazer. O que importa é que o Benfica tem que dar resposta às competições onde está inserido e amanhã [sábado] é aquela que é mais importante. Em caso de vitória, o Benfica sai vencedor do campeonato," assinalou.

 

I remind you that this is an English language forum.

 

I guess you missed the part where I translated the text. alm:

 

Oh dear, that's embarrassing.

 

the team leaving for porto, last night

Are we missing anyone for the game due to injury or suspension?

 

i think everyone is fit for the game

 

Anyone have a stream?

 

boa sorte!

Força Benfica!!!!

 

1-1 27th minute, crazy game.

 

I think the match in Lisbon started off in similarly crazy fashion, as well.

 

very exciting 1st half

 

Like the jazeera commentator (who btw used to be the translator of Manuel Jose at Al-Ahly) said it was more of a tactical half.

Neither side has been brilliant.

though for some reason he described the first goal as fantastic Thought that was an odd thing to say.

both goals have been total flukes.

 

nah no ways, the 2nd goal was an own goal indeed, the 1st one was a regular goal, that took porto's defense by surprise

 

Overall I think the draw would have been the 'right' result, but a goal like that is worthy of winning any game. Kelvin (who has a really shitty haircut btw) used his right to control then his left to shoot. Though I'm not sure what Redrick (or Rodrick, sp?) was doing. The commentator was saying that the latter played 1 game for Benfica this season, if true then pretty odd to bring him in a match of such stature..

Benfica will need to play much better to beat Chelsea. Not a single chance from open play is just poor really. Only throw-ins and a couple of free kicks from Lima and Cardozo. No proper build-up or creativity whatsoever all night long.



I didn't say it was irregular, just flukey/lucky. The ball was deflected off Fernando (I think it was)

 

What a finish, quality to the far post with the left foot

 

Way to throw it Benfica.

 

Kelvin wins the title for Futebol Clube do Porto.

 

****ing ridiculous tactics by JJ. Playing ****ing scared like that, like those ****s have done anything to scare anybody.

Way to go, JJ, offering a title to the corruptos like that.

 

oh man, this is frustrating...losing at the 91st min alm:

very hard to swallow BUT...i still have faith, why cant porto draw with paços? we did with estoril, didnt we?

anyways, now we must focus in amsterdam :groan:


ps: damn damn damn

 

I saw the table and Pacos are guaranteed 3rd place (can't move up or go down), so their motivations against Porto won't be as high as Porto's. Unless there's some sort of rivalry I'm unaware of. Benfica will have to offer them a financial bonus to motivate them.

 

Pacos will bend over for Porto like usual

 

Hard luck Benfica.

Chin up, still lots to play for!
Boa sorte versus Chelski!!!!!

 

WOW....What a game and what a way to hand the title to the rival, WTF is Roderick doing allowing Kelvin to shoot? Fernando would kill every counter we had even if he had to foul, push the damn guy down, it's the 91st minute for god's sake, who cares if you get a yellow :shakepalm:

Own goal and a fluke, it would be sweet to celebrate in their stadium but i'd be happy with a tie at that point, that goal fell from heaven, it's one of those things that you see but ask yourself if it's true, Artur could have covered it better too.

If Porto wins then congrats, we fought for the title, not like last year where they didn't allow it.

Sorry, how was that a fluke?

Brilliant give-and-go between Liedson and Kelvin, with the 19 year old smashing a mid-air volley into the far corner.

FFS, just bite the bullet. You were outclassed and bottled it as usual. Benfica did not come to play football on Saturday, just sit back and pray for a draw. Got what they, and JJ, deserved.

 

Any goal scored after the 90th minute is a fluke?

There's a clown here alright, and you're doing a great job of shooting yourself with the makeup gun.

 

The goal was a fluke, yes, then you had an own goal on the other end.
Fernando was fouling right after we'd get the ball, had he gotten a yellow for it right away he wouldn't be able to do another as he'd be gone.

You're a clown because you hid and now are talking thrash, not because your team scored or whatever you think it is, simply because you hid like a coward.

Hope I made myself clear

 

Considering how much noise Portistas and Sportinguistas were making about how dirty a season that this had been, why isn't the last match day the perfect time for the refs to strike again?:shakepalm:
