At the beginning of the game I thought that we were bound to lose. But then, Porto's defense decided to give away free gifts... and it wasn't even Christmas. And we managed to kill a 14-y.o. "tradition".
Allez :) |

| I saw Bruno Alves stupid tackle today on Eurogoals and after seeing that I've got to say that he's a idiot - Why would you do something like that? |

:haha: :haha: :haha:
This game was totally ing awesome.
One owngoal and one deflected shot. Against saved one-on-ones, balls in the post, a load of corners all falling into the heads of Inter forwards (when we didn't have a single corner in the entire match). I doubt we even deserved a draw. But winning like this against an italian team.. is just priceless. :D
I was very curious to see Marek Cech playing and he did an excellent debut, looks like we might have a real left-back but this was only one game so can't judge properly, players often make great debuts then disappear. It also looks like finally we have a real defensive midfielder with Paulo Assunção doing another great exhibition.
Also, Rangers drawing at home with Artmedia :haha: I'm starting to think Artmedia are a real threat and may qualify to the next round..
Next game here in Madeira, in Nacional's "stadium" (capacity = THREE thousand :haha: ), a chance to recover a 2nd place in the league. However this isn't exactly the most confortable team for us to play, since last year they humillated us with a scandalous 4-0 win at Dragão.. |

I can't believe that you were nervous about Inter kicking Porto's ass. I have to add that Artmedia is growing all the time since they got through with that penalty-drama against Partizan in the Champions League qualifier.
Anyways, Their pretty good atm and sure, They can make it through. |

I think this game despite the result confirmed my concerns. The amount of times Inter players appeared umarked on corners, or in one-on-ones was unreal. They were just very unlucky not to score.
I forgot to talk about Quaresma's game tonight, he did pretty well. |

| Forgot to comment on yet something else: those animals Julio Cruz and Ivan Cordoba. They've done enough in this game to be sent off twice, I can't believe they managed to end the game in the field. |

OK. Inter was given the chances without scoring any goals, It's pretty bad to miss everything if it was just like you're describing it. Unfortunately, I did not see the game.
I really think that this is positive for the Italian teams, They've got to start play way better too win a single game in the Champions League. |

Damn we really should've won this match considering recent form I believe Porto has been awful as of late b4 this match correct? I thought for sure we would kill you guys considering how we handled Livorno on Sunday yes it was Livorno but we had no Adriano and some others that match and really played overly well is that proper enlish ah well it.
BTW that kid on Benfica who scored Tues is nice!
Plus this loss blasts the group wide open I still see Inter qualify but all their matches are technically away matches(empty stadiums)....
Paranoik gets revenge on my flamming of him and Porto lately:tongue2 |

Yep, Manuel Fernandes is on great form right now. He's very good defensively, marked Riquelme very well, but also good technically and great on long range shots/finishing. If he keeps playing like this he'll be on the World Cup for sure. |
