Yes, finally, a football-related post...

Well. I never. Today is a sad day in the footballing world. Benfica lost, at home, to Manchester United. What an absolute disgrace! Considering last year, we kicked the bastards out of the Champions League at the group stage. This is no mean defeat, since for the last 20-odd years they had always passed the group stages. Yes, last season we did well, as we also slapped title-holders Liverpool out of the Champions League (something which tore at me, since I also support Liverpool. But I got over it. Benfica, being Portuguese, will always come first, no matter how badly they do). But we lost to the bastards this season AT HOME! Oh, the pain! But we much soldier on. We've still got 4 games left to turn it around, and, to the footballing Gods, please help us turn it around! Please make Manchester United lose! And let us reign victory as Champions League winners!
Yes. Well. I know that's a bit ambitious, so let me rephrase that. Please let us go through the group stage ahead of Man Yoo, and make them lose against FC Copenhagen.
In good news, at least our arch-enemy Porto lost too. That makes me feel slightly better.
And to those Cristiano Ronaldo bandwagoners (you know who you are) - a true supporter sticks by their players THRU THICK AND THIN!
