Next season, every match in the portuguese league will have a video assistant referee. They were already planning it for the 18/19 season, but with all the criticism at the referees this season they've decided to anticipate it. I like it.

Can any of you Portugays explain what’s going on with Benefica?

Porto hackers got into their e-mails and servers and found signs of some shady poo poo going on, like lists of referees who'll do right by Benfica, home addresses and phone numbers of referees, high ranked people in the portuguese federation sending them confidential information etc The police is already investigating and has done searches on their stadium, offices and people's houses, like their president. Basically it's what everyone had already suspected was going on in portuguese football for years, now it's just out in the open. Yesterday the hackers released to the public like 20gb of those e-mails. Dunno if this is what you mean. if you mean why aren't they top of the table, it's because they sold some of their best players like Ederson, Lindelof, Nelson Semedo etc and didn't buy suitable replacements. Also theyre bitches

Now apparently the police are investigating the possibility of players from certain clubs being paid by people with connections to Benfica to help their teams lose vs Benfica in a few matches of the 15-16 season. it hasn't been confirmed, though. still what a sick, sick club. would be embarrassed to be a fan of such a disgraceful team, very sad.

Juvenfica FC strikes again.

Is matchfixing in Portugal a thing or would this be the first time?

there's been rumors for a long time but never anything official. the police were investigating the match Rio Ave - Feirense because they believed a few Rio Ave players had been paid to help the team lose by some betting people, that match was even talked about at the time because there was a weird amount of betting on it from abroad for such a unimportant match. anyway they confiscated the cellphones from four of the Rio Ave players and apparently found signs that they'd been in contact with Benfica people too, and that's how it started. but the police haven't confirmed any of this, the news came out just today

Benfica's chairman has been officially named as a defendant by the portuguese department of justice in a criminal case for bribing judges. this while Benfica are still being investigated for receiving confidential information and bribing referees and opposition's players, and are having their stadium, offices and homes searched monthly by the police. meanwhile Benfica fans pop out of hiding after 4 months to ignore all of that and talk about buttholes instead. Sad

Holy poo poo this is some third division Minas Gerais football club thing. Sporting shouldn't recover from this, ethically speaking.

this might blow people's minds but, much like anybody else, football players can't just "quit" their contracts. hope this information serves you well in any future endeavors

Post something then

All the cases involving Benfica from last season are still ongoing (especially the one where they got their e-mails hacked, exposing a lot of shady stuff, including exchanges of private information about referees and people in high places in the federation, league etc just read previous posts) but right now they're under a lot of heat because of a specific one, called "e-mole" in Portugal, where they have been officially accused of bribing court officials so they'd get them confidential information about ongoing cases like the e-mail one, Sporting and Porto cases etc The police and prosecutors have been particularly diligent in investigating this case because it was their private network that was infiltrated by these Benfica moles, and because they have photographs and e-mails that prove Benfica lawyers were bribing those officials. there's already been arrests. Benfica's sole defense to this has been that the police investigating them are Porto fans, the judges authorizing these investigations are Porto fans, the prosecutor who decided there was enough proof to officially accuse the club is a Porto fan, the hacker who leaked their e-mails is a Porto fan etc This might sound like a really dumb and insane excuse, but there are a lot of Benfica fans who actually believe it. Just look at the post above mine. Sad.
Also Benfica's president was supposed to be interrogated by the cops/prosecutors last month, but the day before he was scheduled to be interrogated he went to the hospital and said he was having memory issues and needed to be admitted. So it didn't happen. Benfica fans also think this is completely normal and could happen to anyone, nothing wrong here
