footballportugal Podcast – 08/03/10

Monday, March 8th, 2010

A two part podcast this week focussing on the Portuguese league and last week’s international game between Portugal and China.

In part one we pay homage to Liedson’s excellent póquer against Belenenses in Sporting’s 0-4 win away at the Restelo. We also talk about Porto’s collapse and the very real possibility that they won’t be playing Champions League football next season. Braga draw away to Setúbal, much like many of the top teams against lower-table opposition, and we ask why this trend has appeared this season. Finally, we concentrate on Benfica’s 3-1 win against Paços and Di Maria’s continuing great form.

In part two we talk about Portugal’s disappointing performance against China and the media’s response to the boos and whistles the team faced due to their lacklustre performance. We’ll also preview this week’s  European fixtures.

Do please keep those comments coming. We hope to be back some time next week, but not on Monday, unfortunately.

Steve and Phil

footballportugal Podcast – 25/08/08

Monday, August 25th, 2008

The newly-named Liga Sagres has kicked off and our podcast is back to its usual Monday night schedule. This week we review the weekend’s results in full. The two Vítórias, Guimarães and Setúbal, battle out a 1-1 draw. Guimarães are struggling without the very effective Brazillian winger Alan, who moved in the summer to Jorge Jesus’ promising Sporting Braga. They beat Paços de Ferreira 0-2 at Mata Real. Trofense learn the pitfalls of zonal defending, conceding 3 goals in the first 30 minutes of their Liga début away to Sporting. They would eventually get a goal back thanks to a non-existent penalty given by referee Paulo Baptista, a decision that saw Paulo Bento screaming for justice after a series of poor refereeing decisions that have afflicted his Sporting side. It’s business as usual at the Dragão as Porto beat Belenenses comfortably 2-0 thanks to goals by Mariano and Hulk, and Benfica drop 2 points in their first game of the season, drawing 1-1 away to Rio Ave in foggy Vila do Conde. One of the biggest worries for Benfica is the poor form of their new Argentinian playmaker Pablo Aimar who failed to impress during the pre-season and looked lost for long periods on Sunday.

In part 2 we review Carlos Queiroz’s first game in charge of the Selecção, who won 5-0 against that mighty power of international football, the Faroe Islands. Less successful were the U-21 side, who were comfortably defeated 3-2 by the Czech Republic in a game where Inter Milan midfileder Pelé completely lost his head with a dangerous tackle that saw him taking an early bath.

Finally, in part 3 we talk about recent transfer speculation involving FC Porto’s Ricardo Quaresma, Benfica’s Nélson and the loan of Sporting’s Fabio Paim to Chelsea. We also look forward to next weekend’s fixtures, especially the Benfica v FC Porto clássico, and the European games involving Braga and Guimarães.

footballportugal Podcast – 03/03/08

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Derbies and stalemates are the order of the weekend in Portugal as teams in The Minho, Porto and Lisbon go head to head. The Minho derby between Braga and Guimarães has little report other that an increasing admiration of Braga’s little annoying right-back, João Perreira. There’s another stalemate at The Bessa as a new look attack focussed Boavista hold Porto 0-0. After the game, Ricardo Quaresma’s comments about exactly who decided he could put his feet up for the past couple of weeks to catch up on his favourite daytime TV programmes causes a bit of uproar, which we analyse in full. Sporting and Benfica drew 1-1, there were penalty incidents and possible sending-offs galore, with an actual sending off chucked in for good measure and we’ll have an opinion on everything. Setúbal were the only team to actually win this weekend and the never ending praise for Cláudio Pitbull goes on and on, better than Beckham? More influential than Riquelme? We reckon.

In part 2, we review the previous week’s Taça de Portugal fixtures, the three grandes went through alongside Setúbal and one can only hope that this fantastic side get a home draw in tomorrow’s draw. We debate which Moreirense kit looks the best, the yellow one or the green one? We also look forward to this week’s European fixtures.

Finally in part 3, with the recent sad passing of Belenenses’ president Cabral Ferreira, we talk about the way Portuguese people respect one minute’s silences at games. On a lighter note, we have a culinary cornucopia of words of the week this week as we let you know exactly what bifanas, sandes do couratos and entremadas are and just what you ask for to wash them down with.

Unforunately there were some problems with our server at the weekend so some comments posted about the last show were lost, alongside updates to the glossary. Even still, please keep the comments coming, we really appreciate them, either leave them here on the site or e-mail us at: info@footballportugalpodcast.com

Thank you for listening.
