S.L. Benfica vs. F.C. Porto: Taca da Liga - Semifinals Date: Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 Time: 4:45 Stadium: Estadio da Luz Referree: Artur Soares Dias
Looks like only about 40,000 will even bother to attend this one, can't blame them, the beer cup is not very appealing. Just hope no one gets hurt because this title race is freaking tight.
Agreed, but a Classico is a classico. Semifinal match against the biggest rivalry in Portugal no matter how you look at it. Although the league is important, you want to beat your oppenent because the heated tension is there. I see it now. I have a feeling Benfica will win, Porto fans will say its a useless important Cup and that they would rather have won the league match, which you did.
Hey, I've said that this cup is useless since day one. The games are mostly of very poor quality with no fan support. If we lose, I won't be happy not because we lost the beer cup, but because we lost to Benfica.
Bayern Munich, ManUtd and Chelsea will be at this game watching for certain players. Most likely Nelson, Witsel, Gaitan, Javi, James and Hulk.
Quite a secondary game, in the middle of the ones that matters. No way Jesus will jeopardize the remaining of the season for this one.
