Benfica tied 2-2 with FC Twente today in the champions league playoff stage. SHOULD have been a 2-1 lead going back to Portugal but its ok apparently to push a defender to the ground so you can head the ball into the net.

Really happy for Nolito. He really impressed couple years ago, but last year, couldn't get in any rhythm - which isn't a big shock since he wasn't gettin' consistent minutes. Good to see him play upto his potential in another league.

I hope Bojan also comes up big for Roma.

Wow...what a sick pass by Messi to Iniesta. Reminded me of Messi-Villa connecting in 5-0 rout last year.

I read Marcelo did some dumb foul. I wanna watch the replay in a second. I wish I had the nerve to watch it as soon as I got home instead of looking at the internet first lol
3-2 man! Looked like it was a hell of a game.
But lets focus on more important matters....
U20 Portugal in the World Cup FINAL!!!

They are an extension of Jose. Real was never this class-less before, at least not since mid-90s when I started following club football. Can't believe they tried to injure Fabregas.

Anyway, Messi is easily the best player on the planet and it's not even close. He was simply amazing today.

Fabregas last 5 years at Arsenal - 0 trophy
Fabregas 5 minutes in Barca uniform - 1 trophy

Porto have announced to the Portuguese stock market (CMVM) they have agreed to the sales of striker Radamel Falcao and midfielder Ruben Micael to Atletico Madrid for a combined fee of €45 million.

Wooo Porto got a little weaker. Now they just need to sell Hulk and hand us back the trophy

Also Diego of Wolfsburg, formerly of Juve, has links to Atletico also. As well as the young explosive Portuguese youngster Pizzi. Where the hell are they getting all this money from?
