Excellent OP, this season looks like it will be much more exciting than last times Porto dominance.

Anyone watching Benfica - Rio Ave?

Nolito's goal was pretty impressive imo.


Edit: Nolito is so good :)

Porto just lost 3-1 to Gil Vicente, what a bunch of fuckups. Guess it's Benfica's title this year.

Awesome, Benfica don't look to drop points any time soon, even while playing badly like yesterday.

Wow, Guimaraes are tough, 15 minutes away from pulling off Benfica's first defeat :(


EDIT: gently caress, what a frustrating match

And for those complaining about the game, you must be new to this fixture, it could be way worse :)

Dear Benfica,

Instead of standing around moping and asking for a foul, maybe try defending the counter? Thanks in advance!

Awful defending, full credit for James though, he's a brilliant player.

Yes he is, Colombia has a very good squad for 2014, they should qualify and do well.

Porto dropping points is great, but would have been better if they lost.

A penalty in injury time to equalize...

Did anyone watch it? was it dodgy?

Learn not to get pissed off when Benfica or whoever sell players, this is pretty much a selling league and a stepping stone for many players.

As a sidenote, the announcer I have to deal with when I watch Benfica is miserable. I get the games in HD on ESPN3 but it's only in Spanish. Now I understand and speak Spanish pretty well so it's not the language that's the problem. I don't know how familiar you are with Spanish accents but the game is announced by the least enthusiastic guy ever with the goofiest slow Mexican accent. Just one guy, not two commentators. He barely musters any excitement for the obligatory Gooooooooooooooooool he has to say. I've seen Benfica games on English and Portuguese feeds and theyre both better (despite a lot of the portuguese going over my head).

All Mexican commentators are terrible, no way around that.

Just wanted to say that Lima owns.

Also I will never be able to take a grown man who calls himself Bebé seriously.
