I agree, with the exception he my use Alcides for the height

TO DEVILS · 31-10-2006, 07:37 PM

I was thinking about that. I hope Nelson stays, he gives us more speed and attacking strenght on the right side.

the game still far away, but Benfica will win, Braga just not the same team of the begin of the season, but they got one thing going, the brake they will be getting, when the Benfica players going to be call to the portuguese national team

Double from Marcel

Good luck to Benfica tomorrow. Benfica have yet to play a CL game as we know they can. I have a feeling this could be Benfica's break out game in CL.

TO DEVILS · 01-11-2006, 03:13 AM

I just hope i don't see Marcel score, but knowing our luck that is very possible.

UltraViseu · 01-11-2006, 03:14 AM

Braga could do to Benfica what tthey did to Sportem last year. But I doubt it!

LoL!!!! Sr. Engenheiro my ass. A few of us here have been requesting that Fernando Santos be fired ever since the pre-season. (Myself and Simaozinho included) Guys like Frank have been hanging on to Santos for a while and too long. But this conversation is going off topic. Lets continue it here.....

TO Devils. This thread is for you.

UltraViseu · 01-11-2006, 03:21 AM

Frank, are you ready to listen to Simaozinho and I yet????

We called it. We discussed this over and over. Re-read the thread. We were on the money!!

**Frank Cunha** · 01-11-2006, 03:24 AM

not yet, if Benfica had tied with Porto nobody woud be asking for his resignation, let see what happen's twomorrow and then Beira-Mar might give him the fina knockout

TO DEVILS · 01-11-2006, 04:12 AM

Braga at home are a very tuff team. Regardless of how bad they are doing, don't fool yourselves, they will bring their A game when they play Benfica...all teams do.

TO DEVILS · 01-11-2006, 04:16 AM

FS has had some dumb ass moves, but had we got wins in those games instead of losses nobody will be saying anything.

We have had one really bad game in the league...that was Boavista. We should had won the Pacos game and at least a tie at Porco.

We haven't had that lucky break every champion gets during the season, but for most part in the league he has done ok. Can you really blame him for the lost at Porco or the tie at Pacos?

In the Cl it has been a different story.....we are not scoring and allowing goals. Last year we averaged 1 goal per game in the CL, but we were allowing 0.5 per game...we were playing with 3 DMs as well, so that helps.

A 3rd place in the CL group stage and a Title would make me be a huge Santos fan.
