Conte is basically Mancini. Can't win poo poo in Europe. Embarrassing really with a team like that

Kill Osvaldo, sell Giovinco, buy a loving forward on Llorente and Tevez's level, figure out a way to get loving motivated next year, we can't keep loving expecting every goddamn game to be a cakewalk. Same loving way we got kicked out of the Coppa, it's infuriating.

Unless they sell Marchsio, Pogba, and Vidal, I doubt that bad poo poo will happen.

I can see a new forward being bought, but the team is pretty loving solid regardless.

As this season as shown, Benfica only needs Oblak and 9 stooges in front.

I think you'll find that "Rubentus" is a commonly-used and respected way to refer to a certain side from Turin that has won 29 scudetti

It's annoying but in less than a week you will be celebrating a title, so really it isn't all bad.

Our competition has been a resurgent Roma and an imploded Napoli, like yeah, it's nice to win the title, but we got clowned in the CL by such notable teams as Kobnhaven and then lose to loving Benfica down to 9 men.

Conte seemed fired up enough, but most Juve players seemed like they couldn't care less. Juve definitely needs a decent forward, there was a plethora of chances that went begging. That and they need a strategy that isn't running around pinging crosses. That's something I've seen enough of at United to know it doesn't work.

That was the main issue, Garay and Luisao were fantastic today and if Llorente couldn't win against them then two literal midgets were obviously going to fail.

Look, let me have this little bit of pride. It's not like the economy (or for that matter Porto) is going anywhere.

Looking for updates on Garay's face. Some folks were saying it might be serious, since he was carried out directly to the locker rooms.

I was watching the game and had to cut out to do chores. I come back and resume my DVR where I left off which was 10 seconds before Perez getting a red. I was sweating for the last 25 minutes and when Garay went off I thought it was gonna be over, but Juve likes playing midgets and players who can't stay onside so we won thankfully. Also gently caress Vucinic for instigating a Balkan conflict on the sideline and getting Markovic a red. Good to see Salvio can play even if he didn't do much this game, Benfica will need him in the final. It was far from Benfica's finest performance, but the defense deserves a lot of praise.

As much as i like Juventus they were really snobby and arrogant in this duel, i was going to be split between both teams before i realized how Juventus, from Pirlo to Conte, believed they were going to be in the final for simply being Juventus. Benfica showed them wrong, they beat their asses and then held on even with nine players. This Benfica is the exact opposite of last years and it makes me very happy, at least something is working out alright in this country!

And some pictures because why not




loving giraffe monster i love you!


Salvio is so dreamy :swoon:

His face says it all. He was all like "pft this is what Italy has to offer?"


And since we're neck deep in economic crisis some people just couldn't accept that people were watching Benfica instead of smashing the state. This led to quite an amazing photoshop that i have to post because i nearly died from laughter when i saw it.


the true worker's party follows Jesus :ussr:


And finally, these last two matches have made Juventus become a quite respectable team in Portugal, specially in the hearts of Benfica fans who saw in them worthy , honorable opponents. In this video we see one of the many tributes given to Juventus, and the renewed respect for Pirlo after his "Benfica? I feel sorry for them :smug:", interview.

I was really relaxed all game long because the way Juventus was playing was a disaster and you can't toy when you have Luisao and Garay in front of you. Then Garay got his teeth kicked in and i nearly soiled myself.

Now to see what team we can scrape from the barrel to field against Sevilla. That one was an amazing as well, shame all the Spanish football fans in TRP are Americans who can only look at Real and Barcelona though, would really appreciate some good speculation coming from their side.

If Benfica wins it in Turin Lisbon will party like hell. When both Madrid teams come Lisbon will party like hell too no matter what the score. This month will be party time in Lisbon :supaburn:
