Why was this whole debacle even an issue? I understand the potential for protecting English jobs by keeping a bottleneck on immigration through issuing work permits and work visas, but it’s frigging football, are you serious? Maybe I really don’t truly understand the motivation behind the rules or even why there in place, [...]

Okay, it’s day two of “Deuce Watch.” As in there’s DEUCE going on right now that’s newsworthy. Therefore, I figured I’d share some of the jewels I found today while wandering aimlessly through the wasteland that is the Portuguese sporting news interweb…
One headline on Portuguese sports rag A Bola’s website reads [...]
No News Is Bad News

I won’t resort to fluff and fill tactics in order to complete my daily submission today, OH NO. I’m clearly above that. There is almost literally nothing of interest going on at this point other than Arsenal potentially being interested in Sporting’s Miguel Veloso. Veloso’s probably thrilled that a fourth place team [...]
Did Tiago Really Just Say That?

I know he went to Juventus so that makes it Italian football news, but hey he’s Portuguese so I’m going to feel free to comment while all that’s going on with the Liga is Belenenses strengthening its squad with some mid level players, Benfica potentially keeping Miccoli (bigger than you may think), and Sporting continuing [...]

Inspired by just how much the U21 team sucks and was completely incapable of hitting the broad side of an A380, as well as Martha’s fantastic weekly dose of the fairer sex, I decided to do some digging and found a few Portuguese WAGs of my own. (Plus it’s Friday, come on, you really [...]

By: Greg | No Comments
Portuguese Professional Footballers’ Union president Joaquim Evangelista is worried about the fact that just under 48% of players used per weekend in the past Liga season were Portuguese. His claim is that “This trend is pushing more and more young Portuguese players into unemployment…” While in the short term this may very well [...]

Sporting today signed Marat Izmailov from Lokomotiv Moscow as an apparent replacement for Nani. While we’re on the subject of locomotives, what the hell is with the hype train involving Nani all of the sudden? I think the kid’s great, but he hasn’t played a single game in the Premier League and everyone [...]

Thought Bubble #1: Correct me if I’m wrong here but Porto is still in fact a part of the so-called G-14 grouping of the richest, most prestigious clubs in Europe, right? Then why aren’t they a part of incoming big name transfer rumors? Why is thirty-five million Euro rated player X not [...]

For some insight on their recent performance, let’s listen in on Man of the Match, Portuguese U-21 international, Miguel Veloso… “We have answered all those who criticised us.” Yeah, ya did. You answered them by NOT QUALIFYING FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF THE TOURNAMENT YOU WERE PEGGED TO WIN! You beat Israel [...]

By: Greg | No Comments
I sat in a bar in Terminal C of Newark Liberty International Airport a few weeks ago and observed some interesting goings on. For those who don’t know (probably most of you), Terminal C is the International terminal at EWR. This being considered, obviously a number of the clientèle were brandishing accents while [...]
