"The Duel of the unlike neighbours"

FC Porto - Sporting Braga

It Is the first time that Two Teams from Portugal are opponents in an European Cup Final.
Whistle for the start of play is 20:30 CET in Dublin (Ireland).
The Referee of that game is how it could be otherwise from Spain (Velasco Carballo)

Here is a balance sheet of that Euro-League Season from both Teams :

FC Porto : 16 Games - 13 Victories - 1 Draw - 2 Defeats - (Goals 43 : 16)

Sporting Braga* : 18 Games - 9 Victories - 3 Draws - 6 Defeats - (Goals 20 : 20)

By the way Falcao (FC Porto) leads in the goal scorers list before that final with 16 goals and this is a new record (in the Euro-League/UEFA Cup or Messe Cup) he has outbid the old one from Jürgen Klinsmann (Bayer München/Bavaria Munich) with 15 goals from the UEFA Cup Season 95/96 (in this year Bayern München win this UEFA Cup)

*Sp.Braga has played 2 games more than FC Porto this is because Sp.Braga start their European-Cup season in the Champions League (They only finished their group as 3rd) and they have must play the 3rd & 4th qualification round for the Champions League and FC Porto only the 4th qualification round for the Euro-League and that is the reason why Sp.Braga has played 2 games more than their opponent.

At last good luck for both Teams & may the best team win

You've forgotten to mention that Porto is the only undefeated team,in offical matches,in europe this season.
PS: In the portugese football league

Today It´s time for the Euro-League Final

I saw a summery....incredible scenes. Even playing football some guys are mentally overcharged.

of course I had an intention to open this topic
but the reason wasn't a nice one.

I saw in the morning a few scenes of the match (or better named "battle") AC Milan - Tottenham Hotspurs in the european Champions League yesterday evening.
I thought about soccer but what I saw was more a kind of unsportsmanlike fighting.

one of various youtube vids:



Everyone will understand what I mean.

A pity that the referee left his eggs and the red card at his lady and gave just yellow cards so that a decision was found and the UEFA has probably no chance to send both (Flamini & Gattuso) into a break till next season or even better to hell.
Let's hope that the Spurs give the right answer and send AC out of a "should be a fair and sportiv" championship.
