    Looks like we have to face other CL losers, Manchester City. Probably a much harder opponent than our CL group.

    Ouch, couldn't be much worse than this. Let's hope our defense steps up or I see us being hammered in England. COME ON PORTO!

    By the way, if we manage somehow to go through, we might be facing Sporting. :)

    Traditionally, Man City doesn't do all that great in European competitions but their team is stacked with top notch players. Even if they use their B squad, they are still tough to beat and with our team this year, we would struggle against anyone.

    I hope you guys can beat them. I would love to see SCP vs FCP. this way one of us is advancing further in the competition. last thing i want to see is to see man city knock out porto and sporting and leaving no portuguese teams left.

    i don't think braga gets by simao, queresma and company.

    Besiktas have a tendency to screw up a lot.

    tradition has nothing to do with the current Man City. they are packed with talent like Balotelli, Aguero, and David Silva etc

    they are bank rolled by millions, not like in the past

    anyways Id also hate to see City beat Porto and Sporting. I hope Porto wins then of course SCP wins vs Porto (we have to beat the polish team first lol)

    it sucks how FCP and SCP coould meet so early, if they were drawn in different brackets they could both get alot of points for Portugal.

    Man City is the best team in England, and one of the top 3 in Europe. It couldn't have been a tougher draw. Oh well hopefully we have a new coach and CF by then.

    They had 10 points, Porto had 8. The conditions were set before the group stage started, this isn't new or open to UEFA's interference.

    unfortunatley, it's the way it is.

    Good luck to all 4 portuguese teams.


    Did you all know there are currently 8 portuguese coaches in CL and EL combined. That is awesome.
