The European/World Football Thread III

....

Well, this is it then... tonight Porto will be crowned champions. I can't see anything other than a Porto win and I'd bet my life that that will be the case, the club are used to performing when it counts and tonight will not be an exception.

And to think it could have been us in this position if the match had finished on 91 minutes >_<

And that is the reason why Liedson came to Porto - he can finally add the Liga title to his name.

I won't say much, the last thing you'll want is to hear a Porto fan.

Benfica did what they had to do tonight but then so did we. James' dive was outside of the box and he fell over his own feet. Jacksons goal was a nice volley.

I do feel very sorry for you and Benfica. This title has not been deserved as i keep saying to you, very lucky!

Heh, liedson probably deserves a Portuguese league title for what he did for Sporting. He didn't play much for Porto, but still..

I honestly don't mind at all. I had already resigned to losing the title after the Porto match and even a little bit after the Estoril match. Like JJ said, all champions deserve their title. Porto had a couple of draws earlier in the season, but we've also made the same mistakes only later on in the season. It all evens out in terms of who has had a better season league wise. The only difference being that in the head to head, porto were better..

That penalty + red card made things hard for Paços. There wasn't much hope for them with 11 men, so with 10 it was already impossible.

Oh well.. Congrats to Porto. But hopefully next season will be ours!

At least benfica put in a great shift this season, a european final too I'd say they've improved than recent years, where everyone talked about porto(under AVB e.g.) but I've kind of grown warming to benfica. It's kind of sad that you guys can't keep your players, if porto and benfica could keep their players they'd be in for the CL every season.

Imagine a tournament between different leagues.
Yes it has many flaws but I think it be great!
EPL XI, Erdivisie XI, La Liga XI, Serie A XI, La Ligue XI, Primeira Liga XI, Bundesliga XI and Russian Premier League/Turkish Super League or any other leagues.

Each squad can only consist of a maximum of 2 players from each club.

Would be a good tournament at the end of the season.

Like an all-star tournament.

Exactly. Non-Euro/Non-World cup year though.

Plus clubs may not be so willing.

--------

Mourinho has left. Maybe to Chelsea then?

Maybe the winner of that tournament could have the CL final be held in a venue of their choice

Yeah, sounds good!

If only this tournament could actually happen!

Would have the same problem as the other all star games in NFL and NBA. No incentive to do it since its a crowd-pleaser. If they had something to play for like that then that would be sweet.

I am going to see two MLS matches this summer. Both times I ma seeing Seattle Sounders at home XD. I am wondering how they will compare to the premiership and football league.

If its anything like their NFL team since they play in the same stadium if I'm not wrong you will not be disappointed atmosphere wise and kit wise

That sounds great!. Have you seen them before? I am hoping to also see some NFL. What sport seasons are there in july? (which is when I am over there).
