Benfica scores again on a brain freeze from vitoria.this is why you keep playing until you hear the ref's whistle.

You've got yourself the deal of a lifetime to watch Glorious Sport Lisboa Benfica every weekend friend.


Everything else is crazy garbage though, so don't bother.

Well,. like most Good and Cool leagues(TM) , the drama outside the pitch is 50% of the fun, what you should expect:

1) Porto and Sporting complaining about the referees one week , then the very next week be completely favoured by them in penalties against them not being sanctioned, and they sudently shut up.
2) Bad referees. And i mean bad.like holy poo poo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m2xgvMbOGQ
3) Some good football sometimes.
4) The spectacular murders of grammar by Sportings coach Jorge Jesus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD_eR9kCuxg

5) the amazing kharma of the universe dunking on sporting.
6) Benfica being boringly eficient.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XALwA6Ad9j4

here is the league table:



Look at it, its beatifull.

What you should watch.
The derbies: Benfica x Sporting for the bitterest rivalry, Benfica x Porto for murderous rivalry, Sporting x Porto for meh... and some good football.Braga x Vitoria Guimaraes for a regional rivalry going into its 8th century.
Also of note, catch every game from benfica , porto and sporting against these teams:
Braga - Widely regarded as the 4th biggest team in portugal, they have been at the brink of title contention for the last decade. They might win a championship in the next 15 years!
vitoria guimaraes - 5th biggest team in portugal, had its up and downs, has a good coach and good young players
rio ave - one of the Good teams, more likely to cause an upset to the big 3, especially at home
Maritimo - same as above. Benficas only loss was against them.
Chaves - newly promoted side thats been playing really well.

The rest are garbage teams full of garbage wastemans.

Portuguese referees: Sporting B scores a goal, and while their players are celebrating Braga B counter attacks and scores their own. How does this happen? Here's the replay:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTNm-6lk_fA


You can watch on the replay that Sporting scores the goal, the players celebrate, the linesman allows it and starts running to the center of the pitch. But then the referee goes and has a chat with the linesman, and the linesman runs back to the area, raises his flag and decides he's changed his mind and the goal is now offside, all of this while Sporting players are still celebrating. Braga immediately plays the ball and scores on the counter.

If Benfica fans want to pretend that everything's fine, like Porto fans did for many years, they are free to do so of course. Good for them. But make no mistake about it: it is a lovely league.

Blind linesman, luckily the referee was awake and saw the offside correctly.

"We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you"



Lol nah benfica fans know referees are poo poo, have been saying it for a long time.We lost a championship because of a 5 feet offside goal.I dont remember sporting saying poo poo back then.
Remember when Apito Dourado happened, and sporting fans did poo poo all because they had their faces so firmly planted in Porto's crotch they we're gaging old man dick? Just because they we're the perineal 2nd place finishers?
Remember when sporting shrieked "vouchers vouchers!" , reported benfica to lhe league, then it turned out every club ofered souvenirs to referees, the league told sporting "lol, no, thats completelly legit and well into the rules" , sporting cried "bandits! see how Benfica controls the League Board" , reported benfica do UEFA and uefa told sporting "lol, no, thats completelly legit and well into the rules"? Do you think that improved the referee's?
Remember when a former president of the league, that was also a former director of sporting was implementing measures to have the referee board be completelly independent and Sporting ousted him out after 8 months just because Sportings president didnt like him? how did that improved the referee's?
Remember how the previous president of the league before that almost drove the league association into bankrupcy? gutting a poo poo ton of money that should have been directed to referee's training?Remember how he was elected with the suport from sporting?
How the current president of the league was backed by sporting, and yet "Benfica still controls the league!"?
How sporting hounded the former head of the refereing comitee, got him to quit, elected their favoured guy for new head of the comitee, and yet Benfica still controls everything?
How's that working out? Referee's, are they any better?
Remember when a Sporting director was the only person convicted in a court of law of bribing a referee, in what must surely be the dumbest attempt at a honey pot ever?
Remember this season at round 4 sporting was leading the championship and Bruno de Carvalho came out and said "the referee's this year are great, finaly!" even after the complete botch of a game that was sporting vs porto?
Remember when Sporting cried about the penalty against Setubal, not that it wasnt a penalty, because it soon became clear that it was, but because it was sanctioned at the 92 minute and by god you cant sanction penalties after the 90 minutes or something?while conveniently "forgeting" the Coates penalty in the same game?
Remember when Sporting recalled two players that they had loaned out to Setúbal after that same game, just because of a tantrum?
Remember how all the constant winning and bitching about referee's contributed to an atmosphere we're a couple of them received death threats and needed police protection? Hows that for improving the level of the referee's?
Is that conductive to having the best people look at refereing as a valid profession, an environment that attracts qualified individuals?
Remember how sporting and sporting fans keep talking about inane poo poo while conveniently forgetting about the referee's mistakes that benefits them, in a strategy i lovinly call "the trump method"?
Btw, Is renato sanches age settled or do we need the long form birth certificate?
Remember all this poo poo?I remember.
So keep screaming, throwing tantrums and justifying every gently caress up you do with "ITS BENFICA'S FAULT" while nothing gets done, because people who want things done, get up and do it,instead of smearing their poo poo all over everyone else like some retarted toddler.People who throw tantrums dont actualy want any poo poo done at all.

Unlike the extreme garbage teams that spend more time whining about adds on public tv than playing football, Benfica yesterday cruised to another win and reached the Final Four(tm) of the Post Office Cup.
