The Big 3 all won convincingly yesterday. Also seems João Mário is off to Inter for around €45 million. feels bad. it's good money tho, and as long as we keep adrien and slimani we should be fine. wouldn't mind if we tried to get Markovic as a replacement, Liverpool would be happy to get rid of him and maybe Jesus can get him playing like he used to before leaving Portugal.

Benfica just stole Braga's Rafa from Porto, who have been after him for years. €15 million. Might be the move Rafa needs to become a world class player.

Losing all our best players....feels bad man. at least Adrien and Rui Patricio are staying.

e: Still, selling one of ours kids for 45 million and Slimani who we bought just three seasons ago for 300k and we now sell for 30 million. drat the Benfica and Porto fans are right: Bruno de Carvalho really is sinking our club, will there be any Sporting left when he's done? what a monster

Porto had a really good start but with Bruno Cesar moving closer to the center we've started dominating the midfield. Slimani giving it all in his last match, Gelson looking real good and our goalkeeper isn't a complete idiot like Iker. drat we own

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.

Sporting fans? in every news channel the commentators are saying there were 2 handballs. I can understand it being hard to see during the match since Benfica tv had barely any replays of the plays, but it's pretty clear on the post-match analysis

Portuguese referees: Ref is running backwards, doesn't see where he's going, collides against Porto player who gets shown a 2nd yellow card and is sent off. because I guess he thought it was intentional or something

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.
