Not Portuguese League related but Ricardinho is pretty sick.

I have been watching some EC futsal matches lately and some of his goals are downright nasty.

Huge win from Benfica (0-1) against Sporting tonight.

[Lord Eder]

That Bryan Ruiz miss is going to live in Sporting lore

[Merc_Porto]

And Porto loses 3-1 at Braga, title race is over for them. Between Benfica and Sporting now.
Benfica with a way better schedule...

[Lord Eder]

Tough loss for Porto yeah. I think it's Benfica's title again. Braga vs Benfica is the only chance Sporting has to make up points IMO. And even then, Sportig has to win out the season which won't be easy against Porto and Braga still

What did we learn this weekend?

Braga is legit. Great Coach ( He got crucified when he coached FCP but he didnt had control like he have in Braga or Paços )- That Rafa is a great player

Benfica is resilient and they have a lot heart. New sys !! New coach ( great coach imo going to give a few exemple: he bets on youth Renato sanches, linderof, Gonçalo guedes, Ederson, Nelson semedo just to name a few. The former coach NEVER did that. Other thing very important theres no one lock with the starting Job if you are playing and you are playing good you keep playing - this weekend we saw FCP coach giving the starting job to indi and marcano and taking Chidozie out of the team when he was playing great or SCP coach giving the starting job to Adrien when he came of from a inj and was not 100%)

SCP has forgotten how to score (1 last 3 games)- I know Jorge Jesus team very well always with a strong start always finishing slow - the president of SCP ego is almost as big as the ego of their coach. Dont have bench ! Best players have no rest what so ever. Dont know what to win

FCP needs changes and I m not talking about only changes in the team but especially on the directive board. They got to do what Benfica did a few years ago - they look to FCP and follow the path. Now they got to look to Benfica and follow them.
