Still has alot to offer, if he ever gets healthy.... I would rather have a player like Sa Pinto who plays with emotion than any other player in the Superliga. Has not had luck with his health, but a welcome addition back to the team.
Maybe Sporting can reach the final in it's own stadium??? Tickets will be on sale shortly: UEFA final tickets to be sold over 'Net LISBON, Portugal (AP) - Tickets for the UEFA Cup final at Sporting Lisbon's 50,000-capacity Jose Alvalade Stadium will go on sale Dec. 15 over the Internet, officials announced Friday. Tickets for the May 18 final, ranging in price from Ç25 (US$33) to Ç120 (US$159), can be ordered on the Web site of the Portuguese Soccer Federation through Jan. 15. Organizers will allow a maximum of four tickets per applicant on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans will receive a voucher confirming their purchase. The tickets will be sent by mail by the end of April. The teams in the final of the tournament will be known after the second-leg semifinals on May 5. Security preparations will be fine-tuned once the organizers know which clubs' supporters will be traveling to the Portuguese capital, federation president Gilberto Madail told a news conference. Some 700 volunteers and 600 stewards are being hired for the game. The stadium, awarded UEFA's top classification of five stars, is one of the venues custom-built for the 2004 European soccer championship held in Portugal in June and July. The local soccer federation signed agreements with airports company ANA, which will handle a surge in flights before and after the match, and Lisbon City Council which will provide entertainment for visiting fans. "We got a lot of know-how from Euro 2004," Madail said. "It provided us with some top-quality infrastructure." http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Soccer/2004/11/26/732739-ap.html
