a win for Sporting is always a win for Portugal heres a lesson for you Starting XI ------------Liedson (Por/BRA)------------ ------------Postiga--(Por)----------------- Yannick (Por)-----------------Vukcevic (MON)-- -----------Maniche (Por)--A.Santos (Por)------ Evaldo (Por/Bra)--DC (por)--NAC (Por)---Abel (Por)---- --------------R. Patricio (Por)---------------------- Subs: Saleiro (Por) Fernandez (Chi) Valdez (Chi) a win for Braga or Benfica is a win for COMMENBOL a win for Porto is a win for south america, and the Sporting acadmey (Moutinho/Varela)
MORE GRANDE JOGADORS PORTUGUESES that are new promises of SCP football. ANDRE SANTOS and DIOGO SALOMAO (Stay tuned)
Porto gets credit for finding Nuno Andre Coelho (found him at age 18 and loaned him out his entire career, prefering to use south americans and thugs like bruno alves as per norm) but now he is at Portugal's premier Sporting institution and will display his qualities as he is forging a formidable pairing alongside the Sensation from Cascais...DANIEL CARRICO NUNO ANDRE COELHO, SPORTING is your HOME
God, I hope SCP gets drawn with one of Croatian teams so Sporting finally visits Croatia and I get excuse to visit Lisboa
Wherever Sporting goes, the real Sportinguistas will be with them in person, or in spirit. its the way our club is, its so big that there are no words to describe it. Sporting cannot be quantified, it transcends everything else. its more than a club, its more than a way of life.. it simply IS and DOES. wherever we go, we will have fans there supporting us. we saw them en masse when we claimed the New York Challenge Cup, and we saw them again today in Denmark. Sporting could play in Antarctica, and still draw fans.
Sporting probably has more Portuguese players than any other SuperLiga team. Got to love Sporting for this.
Agreed! This kid is class. Wonder why the big three prefer to play outsiders rather that their own. Thank you Moutinho!!
Supercup comes next season when we win the league but, since sporting will win all 3 domestic trophies, the super cup will be contested as an intrasquad match between Sporting and...Sporting.
I actually gave the trouble to check the scandinavian forum. It's funny what they say about the game by defining Sporting as a "toothless" team. Now, when a team scores 3 goals away is anything but toothless... Oh well, certain people like to live in Lalaland.
