    No Aimar and Garay are bigger losses, and Benfica still should have won by a goal or more than they did...good solid performance.

    Maxi and Witsel were superb.

    Liked what i saw from nelson oliveira, a bit selfish but he wanted to make a impression on his debut..the patience will come in time and experience.

    His speed and strength accompanied by a good touch on the ball makes me cautiously optimistic.

    Luisao was a rock as well, but Jardel had two easy headers from corner kicks....too bad he was the nail rather than the hammer when heading the ball.:rolleyes:

    Hit it with some authority for God sakes.

    I agree. That attitude surprised me a bit. He displayed team-mindedness every time I previously watched him and that has been his best asset. However, balancing it with a more aggressive attitude will obviously take him to another level.





    Grazie; my last international match at A Luz was the 2-0 over you guys. It's been four years already..

    Thanks! Best of luck against Chelsea, saw that first leg. Cavani and Lavezzi together are amazing! What a partnership. Hamsik is a good provider. You have control with a 3-1 lead. AVB was sacked, don't see Chelsea doing much.

    It was an injustice to Portuguese soccer.

    Accurate for the most part but seriously a 7 for Maxi and 7.5 for Witsel? :confused:

    Lyon losing was pretty big for Portugal in regards to the Coefficient. Especially considering how Porto and Braga shit the bed this year in competitions.

    I was aiming for Apoel as a joke, now it's actually a possibility!!! They beat Lyon. Hope Basel beat Bayern! They won the first leg 1-0!

    I just think Witsel was a better overal player. MOTM. But hey im not perfect.

    Basel gave Baryern a rough time so its possible.

    I thought Witsel was MOTM also. He controlled so many balls, and literally was all over the field. Not to mention it was his beautiful backheel that made Maxi's goal possible.

    I agree bro, im just saying I think they deserve a better rating than 7 is all. I think 8.0-8.5 would be a fairly more accurate rating for them. Great job on the website though. Looks interesting.

    Yep thats for sure. I cant remember a year where so many of Benfica players have been rumored to be potentially sold in the summer. At least that there is interest anyway.
