You know what. I agree with Prandelli.

Juventus, we may be enemies in Italy, but I'd actually much prefer the trophy go to an Italian team.

Also, saw the first half, not the second (late games, waking up at 4AM...Doesn't mix and thanks to the matches this week I've had no sleep this week). That 3 minute Pirlo FK was nuts.

drat, Silvio will be out for a long time :(

But yep, easy quarter final for Benfica. Never looked inferior, shaky or in trouble. Just went it, bagged goals, reached the semis.

Now off to beat the crap out of Juventus and win the cup in their stadium afterwards :D

Porto being humiliated feels soooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

I want a Benfica - Juve final, then Guttman's curse can kick in. Benfica will get the portuguese league as a consolation prize.

e: Some nice goals by Valencia, specially the first and the third

If that draw happens I'll be a bit torn: yes, I want to see Juve lose, but at the same time I want to see Italy still have the 4th place in the UEFA coefficients (but then again even if the Portuliga jumps Serie A it'll only be for one year, as the last year counted is the year Porto played Braga in the EL final and then your coefficient drops a sizable amount) and as a Celtic man when I'm not following the Italian league I still remember the dreadful matches your lot and mine played last year in the CL group stage.

Valencia/Juve is the first draw or uefa's site is loving up idk

Edit: its definitely not working right for me but I think its Benfica/Juve and Sevilla/Valencia

As a Benfica fan I actually prefer this. If the team has to face Juve (which would most likely be the case) I'd rather it be now than at their stadium for the final.

Depending on what happens to Roma in the coming weeks Juve may have all but wrapped up the title by the time this rolls around. Will be interesting to see what kind of shape they're in if they're still worried about the direct match with Roma.

This is a good pairing, I think Benfica may be stronger based on their last performance but I think Juve is also the strongest side they've faced so far. We'll see.

On Benfica's side, they're two victories away from grabbing the tittle.

We may actually watch Benfica and Juventus going 100% focused into the Euro Cup. I'm obviously rooting for Benfica but i'm honestly just hoping both matches are of high quality and that the best team win it.

Perez is playing well. Plus points to elbowing Chiellini after Chiellini shoved him.

I know it was stupid (I'm not endorsing play that gets cards), but Chiellini is a oval office and elbowed Maxi 10 seconds later. Sulejmani is awful and Cardozo is a non entity right now.
