Jornada 10 Wrap Up Cursed By You Guessed It… Frank Stallone

By: Greg | November 14th, 2007

fstall Heyyyyyyyyyyy everybody. Sorry I didn’t make it around to bloggin’ yesterday, I got a small pang of concsience and decided to let my “career” get in the way. That won’t happen again. I promise. Let’s get right down to it. Maritimo won 2-0 with Makukula again firing one home for the club. Here’s them there scores again…

Belenenses 1 - 1 Leixões
V.Guimarães 0 - 0 P.Ferreira
Naval 1 - 0 U.d.Leiria
V.Setubal 3 - 1 Académica
Benfica 6 - 1 Boavista
Braga 3 - 0 Sporting
E. Amadora 2 - 2 Porto
Nacional 0 - 2 Maritimo

Heroes of the Week — Mauricio and Mateus, Estrela da Amadora – Just when Porto looked like they were getting back to their winning ways, this week’s heroes of the… err umm week… struck and struck hard. Mauricio tallied in the 84th minute and Mateus converted an injury time penalty to shock Porto and earn E.d.Amadora a 2-2 draw. In spite of a spontaneous ejaculation inducing performance by Quaresma, the Curse of Frank Stallone lived to see another jornada with Porto dropping points. Penalty YouTubage below. Amadora are the guys who are wearing the Sbarro employee uniforms.

Goats of the Week — Sporting — Yes, ALL OF THEM. I know Braga’s nothing to sneeze at. I’m well aware that the Arsenalistas were home against Paulo Bento Box’s side. I’m also aware that Sporting have had an underwhelming start to the domestic and European seasons. But 3-0? The Lisbonians looked inept and out of sorts. Braga looked like a team full of youthful vigor and heaps of confidence in spite of the recent managerial turmoil and mediocre start to the campaign. The international break can’t come at a better time for Sporting, because right now they just plain suck. YouTubage of the carnage below.

Clean Sheets of the Week — Nilson (V.Guimarães), Peçanha (Paços de Ferreira), Wilson Junior (Naval), Paulo Santos (Braga), and Marcos Aurelius (Maritimo)

As of right now, the most interesting development has Benfica a mere four points behind leaders Porto. However, the Fleshes-Color’s 6-1 scoreline is a bit deceptive. They played rather close until Boavista went a man down. Even then the Checkerboards managed to tie the game at 1-1 before Benfica fired home five goals in the last 28 minutes.

The 5th and 6th goal were scored by Nuno Gomes.

That sentence is isolated because I was doing a personal experiment. I wanted to see if typing that would cause my head to explode like the guy in Scanners. While my cranium did, in fact, endure some relatively severe momentary pressure, I survived to blog another day.
