The match itself was dominated offensively by Sporting (catch some highlights below), in spite [...]

Top of the Table Run In Probability Game
By: Greg | 3 Comments
I’m something of an amateur prognosticator / absolute genius, therefore I’m going to take a look into the future with the final three weeks of the Portuguese Liga season. I’ve been saying for the past two or three weeks (no, really, this blog has been here for even longer than that) that the top [...]

However, as I was corrected on yesterday’s recap, the Carlsberg Cup (formerly known as the League Cup) is simply a drinking vessel and the [...]

As the final of the Carlsberg Cup is upon us, the big question on everyone’s mind here is… Where have all the fans gone?
Attendance in the Portuguese League as a whole is actually relatively poor. After the big three, there is a precipitous (66%) drop off in average league game attendance. [...]
Portuguese Phoenix From the Flames

Okay, enough of the elaborately dumb ruse. I’m back. I got a promotion back in November and realized that I had to make time for work-related minutia. At the time, this added responsibility at my paying job pushed my fantastic blog out of my realm of realistic things to get done during [...]

By: Greg | 7 Comments
7/8ths of the first Jornada are complete, but apparently it’s never too early to start the coaching carousel a-turnin’. The first boss out for the 07/08 BWINLiga season is… Fernando Santos! Come on down, Fernando and we’ll tell you what you’ve won!
I usually would simply give notes of a manager [...]
