Double u tee eff is going on with the league this season? How in the name of all that is holy as well as unholy are Leixões managing to keep up this ridiculous pace? They have 19 points in 8 matches and sit precariously at the top of the league with a 1 [...]
Jornada 8 Preview: 1st Place Leixões (I know!) at 4th Place Sporting
By: Greg | No Comments
It feels as though it’s been like six quadrillion years since we’ve had a league match go down. But let’s not lament what has felt like an eternity since Porto sunk wayyy down into eighth place. Let’s dive right back into the swing of things and hit you off with some lovely Portuguese [...]

By: Greg | 2 Comments
The first six weeks of the season have been somewhat confusing. Sporting rolled out of the gates with three wins and those who were picking them as the favorite to win the league this year were licking their chops. Then they hit a wall. Actually, they hit a hell of a large [...]
Jornada 6: It’s A Big Week For Those Called ‘Braga’
By: Greg | No Comments
Porto are out of first place already in what probably amounts to their shortest run at the top since I can remember. Unreal. Benfica are actually above both of the other “Big 3″ at this point, sitting third on 12 points after a 2-1 win over Naval this past weekend…
Trofense 0 – 0 Académica
Belenenses 1 [...]

The league really has to change its name. I know that it’s allegedly called “Liga Sagres” after the beer company “Sagres,” but without commercializing it, it’s the “Portuguese Liga.” However, given the way the league has shook out in the past few years, it might as well be the “PORTOguese Liga.” Please [...]
Jornada 5 Precap: Here We Go Again
By: Greg | No Comments
Well, that lasted a whole four weeks… Jornada five brought us a Porto away win against formerly second place Sporting. Which, as you might have figured, also brings Porto back into familiar territory at the top of the table. Four years in a row? Please, God, no…

Jornada 5 Preview: 2 v 4 and 3 v 5
By: Greg | No Comments
It’s a big weekend in Portuguese club football. Second place Sporting welcome fourth spot Porto with open arms and hearts for another iteration of the clássico (which describes seventeen matches during the season for some reason). Meanwhile, fifth place Benfica travel to current third place surprise Leixões.
After this week, Sporting, Porto, [...]
Jornada 4 Recap: Logjammin’ At the Top O’ The Table
By: Greg | 2 Comments
Four matches have been played and only three points separate first place from tenth. While I don’t necessarily expect Nacional and Leixões to be top o’ the table contenders when it’s all said and done, as I’ve intimated in the past, the matches at the start of the season count for just as many [...]
Jornada 4 Pre-Cap: Benfica Protect the Fortress da Luz
By: Greg | No Comments
Since O Belem and Sexy Leixy still have a match to play today, I’ll reserve the weekly superlatives (as I have in the past) for tomorrow’s full recap.
Porto returned to their winning ways and Sporting got worked in the Lisbon derby by a Benfica that got stronger and stronger as the match wore [...]
Jornada 4 Preview: Benfica v. Sporting Derby Time!!!
By: Greg | 4 Comments
As you’re all well aware (and according to the big bosses, I’ve made you too aware) I’ve been away for a while with vacation and work. I’m back rolling now and after a terrible scolding from the Mormon Alliance who are clearly our largest sponsor on this site, I’m also back to being more [...]
