Hmm.. UEFA Cup or nothing for a coupla years....?

the uefa cup is basically the last lap of the intertoto cup but still better than nothing. imo

hell if leixoes got the draw that Porto got they might still be in it.

 

That's not the proper attitude Big Baboon!

That line of thinking will have you spending your prime years settling for hummers from the first hoochie that is willing to flash you her cooter.

A eye towards what you really want, and a refuse to lose attitude, will make you and your mule more productive and happier for it.

I wouldn't mind if Benfica turned down future UEFA Cup invitations.

I'm not saying don't be proud, but put your pride in perspective.

And yes, I wouldn't mind if Benfica turned down future UEFA Cup invitations. But the chances of a Portuguese club turning down money are none.

 

Seriously, when the hell is this "tournament" going to be put out to pasture. What diminished value this tournament once had is now killed by the Uber-Champions League. Every couple of years, the teams in the UEFA Cup or Cup Winner's Cup could claim that the competition was tougher than the Euro Cup.

But now that the power leagues get so many spots in the Champions League, I view the UEFA Cup along the lines of the college basketball National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The two tournaments invite teams that could not get admittance into a bigger, more prestigous tournament.

If you guys want to believe that you are carrying the Portuguese flag back into glory, feel free. But nobody cares about the NIT or the UEFA Cup; so until a Portuguese team returns to the knock stage of the Champions League, no one outside of Portugal will care about what are teams are doing.

You're absolutely right, the UEFA is not a prestigious trophy to win, but the point was that Porto and Boavista have chalked up so many points, you can finish in 4th and still qualify for Europe.. Althought from thoe sounds of it you wouldn't wanna bother with the UEFA Cup anyway...

And if we do win it, I for one will be proud of it.

Now, now Dan, play nice or they'll start to think you're me. Or do thay think that I'm you?!

For someone who though I was Flo...

 

Attention Benfica and Sporting fans.

Don't worry..!!

Now that Porto and Boavista have piled on the points in European competition, you guys can still finish as low as 4th and still qualify for the UEFA Cup!! Good luck, i'll be cheering you guys on in Europe! (Just don't embarass me by getting beat 7-0...)

Embarassing is beating teams that nobody has ever heard of and claiming to be a european power house.

 

Now, now Dan, play nice or they'll start to think you're me. Or do thay think that I'm you?!

schizophrenia is a terrible thing.

 

:dielaugh:

Yeah I'll be cheering them on too Come on Benfica!! Boost our UEFA points! Your only losing 5-0 to Halmstad in the 1st Round but maybe an away goal will give Portugal an extra 0.01 ranking point!

Dude, you're not making any sense. What you've quoted is not proof that i denied any regionalism in my post. But i forgive ya seeing as you're pretty hot cos of having to deal with F1 in the other thread. The amount of time you keep harping on about him, people would think you only come on here to **** on his posts.

Bit of a waste when you can usually give some decent opinions on futebol.

Oh, geez, KM - c'mon! You ain't dealing with F1 here. I thought you were a straigth shooter. Too bad! Now ya just like any other Portista troll now, playing dumb rather than face the music. F1 and you guys have a lot in common.

Whatta disapointment.

I don't MAKE HIM waste his talents. He wastes them of his own free will. It's kinda sad that a 30 year old feels the need to waste his time with a kid he doesnt know, more than his own son. If I'm like that when I'm 30 I'd rather be dead.

But back to the topic. Congrats to Porto(god someone kill me for sayin that!), and Boavista(Although PSG did deserve to go through just as much).

Yes. Show me where i denied the regionalism in my statement.

There are serious inferiority complexes from Portistas, who can not refrain from bringing regionalism into a sports argument, ever.

Dude! Get over it. Portugal is Portugal, though we'd probably be better off without Portistas.

Your reply:

Err in case you hadn't noticed, i was answering a question from someone else about regionalism and supporters.....!! If you don't agree, how bout putting accross your own opinions instead of slaggin' everyone elses..?! After all isn't that the point of a forum...?!

Not exactly an admission, is it?

Should I start calling you F1 junior?

 

No, you're saying i only like them because they're the best..!

I never said that, kid.

 

I never once said you liked them because they didnt win in ages.

No, you're saying i only like them because they're the best..!

 

Indeed, you did. Must I hold your hand to keep you focused who and what you're discussing somethign with similarly with what we do with F1?

Yes. Show me where i denied the regionalism in my statement.

 

Jeez you guys are wierd sometimes.. First my team hasn't won anything in ages so we're not the best team in Portugal, now I'm only a Porto fan because we're the best... Make your minds up...

I never once said you liked them because they didnt win in ages.

 

A fan isn't measured by how many titles his favorite has, or how many cups they have, a fan is measured by how loyal they are, not how many cups and titles their team has. If you're rooting for a team because they're the best, you're rooting for the wrong reason.

Yeah, you're loyal alright.......BenfiSportista :wth:

But I don't like either just because they win a lot.

My "teams from the North" comment was to do with UEFA points. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. The Northern teams have picked up more UEFA points than the Southern teams have in the last 5-10 years.

What now?
