He means that Benfica is doing this for Portugal and representing them.

I heard the people from The Score saying it is a good thing and were Praising Simao and how he is so underrated and a good player

wait does the WC start before or after the season ends

**jec1** · 13-03-2006, 02:30 AM

When the season ends and the World Cup starts June 11 I believe and our first game is Angola.

Benfica has to hope Porto drops points to have a hope

and after Porto does that they have to hope Sporting drops points, the hottest team in the SL in 2006 SPORTING CLUBE DE PORTUGAL
Porto has been hot lately but hopefully for me (and Jec1, Villafria etc SCP fans)
SCP keeps the wins coming and when Porto comes to Alvalade what a game it will be.

Sporting and Porto control their own destinies right now.

I have not seen this game therefore it is hard to comment. However, according to some of my sources Benfica blew their many opportunities. This has to be something of a concern. I mean their coinfidence must have gone from way high to low after this game. How will things look for us agains Barca?

UltraViseu · 13-03-2006, 04:55 AM

Thanks, however there are also Benfica videos on google video and on youtube.

I watched the game. This was one of the most frustrating games that I have ever watched. First of all, I saw Benfica players miss chances the my son could have put away. Second of all, what the hek was our coach doing close to the end of the game when he took out Manuel F (he was playing well all game) and kept Beto in the game ???????? Lastly, the Ref really had a bad game. Missed calls on both sides, but that non call for a Penalty shot, was just gutless on the part of the Ref. He knew it was a foul in the box but did not have the balls to make a call that would have an effect on the game. Well there goes our chances of the title.

**jec1** · 13-03-2006, 10:11 PM

Sorry guys but you time us up Benfica lost key matches that they shouldve won and you guys couldnt handle the pressure that Sporting were closing in.

Like I said its either Porto or Sporting years and I would be surprised if Benfica made a late run.

all i care about is if we have no chance in wining the superliga is getting a spot in europe
