Benfica once again put Braga in it's place, Jorge Jesus got owned and made a complete fool, and Porto looks like to continue it's slide into irrelevancy. Perfect weekend action here at the Liga NOS(tm).

Its a pretty good monday op. Seriously that game was great and an example of the best this podunk league has to offer:90%of the intensity and speed of the premier league,90% of the tactical acumen of série A,75% of the drama and diving of South American leagues, it was great.

Allrighty you reprobates the action continues in the best worst league in Europe.

Porto faces off against boavista in a local derby.FC Porto are in a mini crisis after loosing against Sporting and a draw vs Tondela. Any other result but a win and all hell will break loose. This Porto team is kinda bad but Boavista is a team that tries hard every match but in ter ms of quality is probably the worst team in the league.

Sporting goes to Estoril to try to redeem their loss against Rio ave last week. They probably will win if Jorge Jesus doesnt try to invent some stupid tactic or player adaptation to prove to the world that he is a master tactician.Estoril have some good players and they are clearly underperforming.their fitness is a major concern.

Benfica travels 450 km to Chaves to face the sensation team of the league . Benfica and Chaves are the only teams who havent lost this season.Chaves is a good team with a good coach and highly motivated players while Benfica is still strugling with injuries to their frontline.if we scrape by with 1-0 win ill be happy.

Sporting-Estoril and chaves-Benfica should be good games,só catch them in your stream method of choice,and follow along with us the missadventures of the best worst league in Europe.

That show used to be a lot better when it was Serrão, Seara and Barroso. It was actually fun to watch, as the trio was mostly in on the joke, and none of them seemed to hate each other. It was also when Serrão was calling Lopetegui the Basque Che Guevara of football, for it's revolutionary football tactics of changing your starting eleven every match. It was fun, even if contained zero football insight.

Now it's an even shittier Dia Seguinte, and Dia Seguinte it's loving unbearable garbage.

Also gently caress yeah proper football is back this weekend, all of them garbage matches, but yeah no more lovely internationals or poo poo cups. Jut 100% Liga NOS(tm) goodness.

All right you primitive screwheads its time for porto vs Benfica, 2nd and 1st in the table respectively.

Benfica advantages:they lead the league by 5 points so they go in with less pressure to secure a win; they are also arguably the team playing the best football this season.

Benfica cons: Benfica is missing 5 starters including Jonas. So yeah.

Porto pros:they play at home.the stadium of the dragon is the worst place in Portugal for Benfica to play,they have been steadily improving in the last month.

Porto cons:they will be under a lot of pressure to secure a win today.they just aren't that good of a team.

Not really seeing it. This was never going to be a favourable match for Benfica, and Benfica just played to not lose, and it did just that even without some important players on the back, and with luisão KO 15 minutes in. Outside of the Ederson fail on the goal shot, Porto didn't translate that dominance into anything useful, and Benfica never really felt like it was diving into panic.


Still 5 points of the clear, and it will most likely keep that when Sporting comes to the Luz in a month time.

He is a tremendeus idiot, but you can't say he is a quitter. Jorge Jesus once again tries to speak Spanish:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoyFBsqoY5w

I can't quite decide which part of this is the funniest. The fact that he can't decide if he is going to say a word in Portuguese, Portunhol, or Spanish, or that he insists saying Ronaldo in "Spanish" Reynaldo.


He really really wants that Real job.

He is. Jorge Mendes has been trying to put Jesus on Real Madrid since Mourinho was fired, and Jorge Jesus himself will not take a lesser job outside of Portugal. Problem is he's pretty loving awful at speaking any language, and big English/Spanish clubs won't hire a dude who can barely string two words and make an embarrassment out of himself every single time he opens his mouth. That poo poo flies in Portugal cause we're used to and like these kind of idiot managers, but not so much out there. He also has a poor track record on the Champions League, and the longer he stays in Sporting winning gently caress all the more behind will his winning seasons in Benfica be.

He wants to manage a Real Madrid or Manchester United, but in reality he hit the ceiling with Benfica and there's no where left to go other than Porto.
