so we were knocked out of the portuguese cup last wednesday by Vitoria Guimaraes... in the championship things are not going very well neither...

 

last night we've beaten Rioave with an injury time goal scored by Mantorras... gosh were we lucky!!!!

Wow, great video! I adore Portuguese football commentators! :D They are so great! :D German commentators are always sooo boring... Hope Benfica will reach the next round in the Champions League.

 

By the way: I read in a newspaper that in Portugal you can only see 13 matches of the World Cup 2006 live in Free-TV? All other games will be broadcast by a Pay-TV channel called "Sport TV". Is that right? :stunned: That is crazy!

Lucky for you we won't have Puyol,Messi,Marquez, Edmilson or Xavi for the first leg... :angry:

Larry, I think that's correct.

I don't have any problems with it since I have Sport TV, so it's all good.

 

But I feel bad for those who don't have it.

 

 

I'm hopeful that Benfica will do a good campaign on Champions League! :D

;) Good for you to have that Sport TV. See you in the CL final. :D

Lucky for you we won't have Puyol' date='Messi,Marquez, Edmilson or Xavi for the first leg... :angry:[/quote']

 

 

They'll still play with 11 men, right!!?? :p

:lol: Yes!

0-0 against Barça is not that bad... we were lucky is true, but Ricardo Rocha made us think for moments that Ronaldinho wasn't even there!!!!

 

now there's a mission impossible waiting for us in Camp Nou... but let's believe!!!!

It's not impossible Miguel. We're in advantage now since they didn't score any goals here. So we only have to win there or 1-1 result.

 

I'm feeling pretty confident right now! :smug:

just beautiful... take a look:

so, Benfica have beaten Belenenses last night 2-1... Miccoli and Karagounis scored... anyway still on 3rd place...

 

the bad news is the injury of Nuno Gomes that will miss the match at Camp Nou against Barça...

 

the good news is that Miccoli seems in good form... ;)
