We hope you’re all still with us after our unexpected break. We return with a three-part podcast which will hopefully fill you in with most of what’s been happening in Portugal over the last couple of weeks.
In part 1 we concentrate on Sporting’s spectacular collapse in recent weeks. From looking like a handy little outfit rejuvenated under Carlos Carvalhal’s mysterious post-Christmas spell, they’ve turned into a sorry bunch of losers, one of the sorriest in the history of this famous club. We ask why in part 1.
In part 2 we concentrate on the three clubs who are leading the way in Portugal: Braga, Benfica and Porto. The latter dropped points but both Braga and Benfica won, Braga doing so with a severely depleted starting line-up.
Finally, in part 3 we review the rest of the weekend’s games, including Kazmierczak’s “Half Scorpion” for Setúbal against Leiria. Watch it on this link . We also give a blow-by-blow account of Carlos Quieroz’s punch-up in an airport waiting lounge.
Keep your comments coming and we’ll be back for more next week,
Steve and Phil
