Since we already know Benfica have been caught red-handed fixing games and bribing referees, and with the Liga's reluctance to punish them, I figured I'd start this year's Colinho thread to document Benfica's corrupt stranglehold on the league. We were promised video refs, we get this Está começando
It will be interesting to see how VAR influences Benfica games I have a hunch it won't be used to their detriment as Much as for other clubs
And didn't even bring of the Super Taca game either. VAR doesn't exist in Portugal. It as just an excuse for the league to take heat off of Benfica, who have already been caught red-handed fixing games. The entire system is corrupt up to the very top, but sure, just "excuses".
A corrupt league/Benfica would explain why you would not finish in first place but it would not explain why you guys finished behind Porto who were having an off year. Your team should have easily finished in first place last year. Get a real coach. PS all of Europe is corrupt not just our league and its top to bottom. Fifa to Portugal .....
For your sake, given your obsession on this topic in recent times, I hope this newfound realization leads to you focusing your energy on other aspects in your life. Harping and obsessing continuously on something you yourself admit is entirely corrupt, and pervasively so as @eurodad mentioned (meaning, that shit ain't changing, much less from anything you do) is a really sad way to live.
Lmfao. Dude it's a soccer forum. Believe me, Bigsoccer isn't my life. All I'm doing is starting a thread that should have been started years ago to document how corrupt the league is. It would be different if all the Lampiao douchebags on this forum would stop changing subjects, arguing straw man fallacies, etc. and actually address the hard evidence that the organization they all blindly dick-ride is one of the most corrupt in world soccer. Unfortunately, they don't acknowledge anything because, like typical Portuguese, they deny reality and let pride f*ck with their head.
Lol yeah I know, I was being facetious and didn't mean to sound like you hole up in your room devising some big map connecting all the points of Portuguese soccer corruption. So my b for sounding like a douche, shit's overall upsetting. Think we can all agree with that. Takes away much (basically, all) of the point in watching the sport, even if it means 'your' team winning.
I just want the better team to win over the course of 32 games or however many games make up the season. Just hire international referees and the problem should be fixed. I can accept losing fair and square as was the case for like 13 years for SCP. Just give me an even playing field ad it will create a much more entertaining league.
I dont watch as much soccer as I use to because even at the Champions league level there are obvious favoritism/corrupt. I get what you are saying, I prefer to loose knowing I had an honest/fair chance of winning and by the same token, I prefer to win knowing my team deserved the win.
começa o colinho ao sporting what a disgrace tonight, you just know we small clubs are fvked against the top 3
Says the guy whose clube is in bed with slb and ships 5 goals against them every game . Sporting was the main reason you and every other Portuguese celebrated on July 10 2016 so ******** off
They will need more than colinho this time. Bruno Fernandes is the real deal. Im already proclaiming sporting CAMPEÃO
