Re: Portuguese football season 2023-24

Boavista was winning at Porto but left with a loss in injury time. Porto is 3rd and only needs a draw at Braga in final match. Boavista isn't safe from facing the relegation playoff. 14 Boavista 31 15 Estrela Amadora 30 --------- 16 Portimonense 29 (play off position) ------ 17 Vizela 25 (relegated)...

Re: Portuguese football season 2023-24

Nacional (Madeira Island) and Santa Clara (Azores Islands) are back to I Liga, Santa Clara after just 1 year, Nacional after 3 years. AVS (a plastic club not far from Lisbon bought, transfered to another city and then transfered again to the north and renamed to sound like Aves, a defunct club) and ...

Re: Portugal won the Eurovision?

The juries saved the competition from an Israel fiasco by burying it. The people who voted Israel did it for political reasons, ballads of this style don't get 300+ points and sweep Western Europe with 12s. Happy about Switzerland, Croatia was also very good. Ukraine was also good but boosted by re...

Braga and Porto will play in Europa League, but unless Porto finishes in 3rd, we will have to wait for cup final, to see who plays in group stage.

Re: Ukrainian Football Season 2023/24

Shakhtar has made two high-profile transfers as for Ukraine in recent days, left winger Kevin from Palmeiras for 12 million + 3 million bonuses, as well as center field player Marlon Gomez from Vasco da Gama for 12 million + 4 million bonuses. I think the club will not stop there and will buy more ...

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Well, Villa indeed followed City and Liverpool through the trapdoor and out. Bad season for England, maybe only West Ham who deserve praise and City were unlucky. So, Villa probably finish 4th and play CL, good season for them, but not fantastic as the English media likes to trumpet it. They're ahe...

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Man City is being unfairly picked on. They haven't spent that much in the last 3 years (look at Chelsea and Man United !). They develop their "own" players (Foden, Palmer). They make the above-average players the best (de Bruyne, Rodri). Much better than PSG who just snag Mbappes, Neymars...

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Ah ah sore losers! Blame the ref. Real even go to the VAR screen to cry towards the referee when the situation is clear. They would cry even more in such a situation at the end, but it never happens for them in the CL. We have to wait if it was offside or not. If it wasn't, it's typical Real again ...

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

I never fancied PSG because Paris and Parisians are too full of themselves. When Qatar arrived it made things worse, they thought they'd be the new kings/emperors of France and walk on Europe. On one side you have Manchester City, also financed by a state, but at least they have been building somet...

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Ah ah sore losers! Blame the ref. Real Madrid was great tonight, they never go down, they always comeback, even with the great saves by Neuer, the goal against, the time wasting (normal), the disallowed goal (good call) they always believed and didn't set for equalized. Tuchel took out everyone, Mus...

We don't need Mbappe. We have Joselu!

Tuchel with so many players outside position. Why?
