A época começou muito mal para o Sporting, melhorou muito com uma série consecutiva de uma
dezena de triunfos, e desde aí tem sido o descalabro total. No campeonato, caiu para a quarta
posição. Está a 13 pontos do Benfica, a 8 do FC Porto, a cinco do Braga e tem apenas três de
vantagem sobre o Marítimo.
Sporting have lost midfielder Stijn Schaars for up to three weeks after the player suffered a left
thigh injury, while on another front striker Bojinov looks to be headed out of Sporting on loan
with possible destinations being Lecce, Dynamo Kiev or Trabzonspor at this time.
O dia 22 de Dezembro de 2001 dificilmente alguma vez se apagará da memória de Marius Niculae.
Até então, o ponta-de-lança romeno estava a fazer uma época de estreia bastante auspiciosa ao
serviço do Sporting, tendo marcado, por exemplo, ao FCP na primeira jornada do campeonato e ao AC
Milan, na Taça UEFA.
Week 15 saw Benfica maintain their two point lead over Porto as the season hit the midway point.
Benfica earned a convincing 4-1 win over Setubal while Porto stayed pace with a 2-0 win over Rio
Ave. In what amounted to the game of the week, Braga defeated Sporting 2-1 to move into sole spot
of third place in the Portuguese league as Sporting drop to fourth.
Week 14 has finally seen a team take sole spot atop Portugal for the first time since Week 4.
Benfica now sits atop the Portuguese League after their commanding 4-0 win over U. Leiria as FC
Porto was held to a scoreless draw versus Sporting. Benfica are two points clear of Porto as the
season is one week away from the half point.
Rabiu Ibrahim foi recentemente dispensado do PSV, voltando a não se conseguir impor em mais uma
equipa do futebol sénior. Já Renato Neto, após um bem sucedido empréstimo aos belgas do Cercle
Brugge, vai ter uma oportunidade na principal equipa do Sporting. Há uns anos, os dois jogadores
coincidiram nos juniores do clube de Alvalade e enquanto o nigeriano vinha rotulado de craque e de
estrela, o brasileiro chegou discretamente.
«Não fiquem falando mal do Xandão pro portuga aí. De repente ele é olheiro do Sporting e
desiste do negócio por causa dos comentários críticos de vcs» ou «se vc for torcedor do
Sporting, eu te digo que o Xandão é horrível e obrigado por nos livrar dele» são apenas alguns
comentários que se podem ler num fórum de adeptos do São Paulo sobre aquele que, ao que tudo
indica, será o próximo reforço para o plantel de Domingos Paciência.
The 2011 year in now behind us and as we now move forward in 2012, we take a look at ten things
that should happen for all Portuguese fans this year. 1- Cristiano Ronaldo will win the La Liga
Golden Boot 2- Portugal will reach the semi-finals of Euro 2012 3- Porto's Hulk & Benfica's Gaitan
will be sold in the summer 4- Benfica will reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League 5- FC
Ricardo Quaresma deu hoje espectáculo em Telavive com dois portentosos golos que garantiram o
triunfo ao Besiktas frente ao Maccabi. Primeiro, já em tempo de compensação do primeiro tempo
atirou uma bomba de primeira ao ângulo superior direito. Depois, quando a partida caminhava para o
final com um empate a duas bolas, o extremo formado no Sporting "lembrou-se" de tirar três
adversários do caminho e fazer o 2-3 final.
Week 11 kicked off after a long hiatus due to International play and the Taca de Portugal
qualifying. Beira Mar defeated Academica 1-0 to move into sixth place in the league. Saturday was
Derby day in the league as Nacional played Martimo to a 2-2 draw in Madeira, while Benfica hosted
Sporting at the Luz.
What's a derby if it doesn't involve putting out a fire by the time the whistle is blown?! Well,
Portugal experienced their own 'clássico' on Saturday, when
Benfica defeated Sporting 1-0, thanks to a goal from Javi Garcia. Benfica are now
in top spot (yes, we hear a couple of you rejoicing!
O que têm em comum Jeffrén Suárez e Urretaviscaya? Aparentemente muito pouco para além de ambos
falarem castelhano e de serem ambos extremos. Um foi contratado pelo Sporting ao Barcelona, o outro
foi emprestado pelo Benfica ao Vitória de Guimarães. Contudo, ambos têm sido afetados pela
"malapata" das lesões, parecendo ambos serem feitos de "papel" ou terem algum problema ósseo
nunca antes visto.
Week 10 kicked off with a loud bang as Guimaraes thumped Pacos Ferreira 5-1 leaping them out of
the cellar and into a tie for 10th place in Portugal. Maritimo then on Saturday defeated Academica
3-2 temporarily moving the club into third place in the league. Porto was then held on the road by
Olhanense, playing the Algarve club to a scoreless draw.
Week 8 started off with Pacos Ferreira getting the best of Academica 2-0. Olhanense defeated
Guimaraes 1-0 while Benfica earned the only road win of the week 1-0 over Beira Mar and moved into
top spot in the Portuguese League. Sunday saw the home team dominance of this Week take off as
Maritimo defeated Setubal 1-0 to move into third place in the league.
Sporting's Marat Izmailov has had successful surgery to his right knee completed in Lisbon and is
set to commence his recovery program, at this stage it is not known how long Izmailov will be lost
to Sporting.
Week 6 was kicked off with the Classico as Benfica travelled to Porto to take on FC Porto as
last seasons number one and two met for the first time this season, in what was an entertaining
contest Benfica came back from two times down to leave the Northern city with a 2-2 draw.
Saturday, Braga pulled out a hard fought 2-0 victory over Nacional to move into a three way tie
atop the
Week 5 took off on Friday with Gil Vicente scoring a late marker to draw against Olhanense,
Nacional then earned their first victory of the season with a 1-0 win over Pacos Ferreira moving
them out of the basement in Portugal. Sunday had Maritimo jump into fourth spot in the Portuguese
League with their 3-1 win over Leiria.
Sporting have sold striker Yannick Djalo to France's Nice on the last day of transfers for $4.5
million euros. The 25 year old striker had appeared in 98 games for Sporting, scoring 23 goals.
Djalo deal is said to still have to be approved by FIFA as the Sporting and Nice agreement came
right at the deadline, so Djalo fans may need to wait it out to see where the player ends up.

Week 2 opened with last seasons defending Champions FC Porto continue their unbeaten run in the
Portuguese League with a 3-1 drubbing of Gil Vicente. Benfica then earned their first victory of
the season defeating newly promoted Feirense by the same 3-1 score. Sporting was not so lucky
playing to their second consecutive draw to start the season against Beira Mar.
Portuguese clubs did not fair well this week in European competitions with none of the five clubs
in action coming away with a victory. Benfica opened the week of drawing 2-2 with Dutch club Twente
and will be looking to advance to the Champions League group stage at home this coming week. In
Europe League action, Sporting, Braga and Nacional all played to scoreless draws against
Braga did not win any trophy last season but they did get the better of any club in Portugal when
it came to earnings in European competitions last season. Braga earned a total of $16,370,191 euros
last season from participating in the Champions League and reaching the final of the Europa League.
Portuguese clubs have been handed their next round of games in Europe by the draw in Nyon today.

Confesso que nunca tinha ouvido falar dos dois reforços holandeses que o Sporting apresentou nas
últimas semanas, daí ter algumas dúvidas sobre o seu real valor. Curiosamente no passado
fim-de-semana tive a oportunidade de conhecer pessoalmente dois holandeses, fervorosos adeptos do
Feyenoord de Roterdão, e logicamente que um dos assuntos que veio baila foi a valia de Ricky
Van Wolfswinkel e Stijn Schaars.
A BEHIND THE SCENES ORAL HISTORY OF SOCCER IN KANSAS CITY
On November 18, 2010, a Major League Soccer team changed its name. One minute they were the
Kansas City Wizards. The next, they were Sporting KC. Of course it's never that simple. This is
that story.

I hate the word 'brand' more than anything.
The fans of P.S.N.L have spoken and have given Portuguese National Team captain and Real Madrid
forward Cristiano Ronaldo the Portuguese Player of the Year for the 2010/11 season after another
remarkable campaign in which Ronaldo broke the La Liga record for goals in a season and finished
the season with 53 goals in all competitions.
With everyone abuzz over the latest Arsenal Developments and the upcoming Chelsea match, it's only
fitting that we keep our eyes focused on Europe. There is a wealth of new talent ready to make a
transition to the global stage, and my in-depth conversation with PortuGoal.net Editor touched on
that quite nicely.
O Matías Fernández que representa a selecção chilena parece um jogador diferente do que aquele
que enverga a camisola do Sporting. Ainda nos últimos jogos pelo Chile, frente a Portugal e
Colômbia, foi dos melhores do seu país, para além de ter marcado dois bons golos, de livre
directo, algo que ainda não conseguiu pelo Sporting.
Apesar de ter começado a jogar com mais regularidade desde que José Couceiro assumiu o comando
técnico do Sporting, o argentino Marco Torsiglieri está muito longe de ter convencido no seu ano
de estreia em Portugal, ainda para mais para quem custou 3,5 milhões de euros. Deste modo, foi,
sem surpresa, eleito o maior "flop" da Liga Portuguesa na presenta época por 52 dos 184 leitores
que participaram na última votação.

MELBOURNE, Australia The Melbourne Victory soccer club has angrily denied claims its fans are
violent, amid criticisms from police and the state government. A senior Victorian policeman on
Friday said members of the force were reluctant to volunteer to work at Melbourne Victory soccer
matches because of violence among the team's supporters.
BRUSSELS, Belgium Soccer fans may be able to continue watching World Cup and European Championship
matches for free after a European Union court ruled governing bodies can't strike exclusive pay-TV
deals for the games in the U.K. and Belgium. FIFA and UEFA, the game's global and European

LONDON — Tickets for this season's Champions League final at Wembley will be the most expensive

A quiet few days for Rangers kicks off with a Govan welcome to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa
League.
The teams last met in 2008 when Rangers were on their way to the final of the UEFA Cup. What Walter
Smith would give for that to be an omen of good times ahead.
In his tactical preview for Scottish Football Forums, Andrew Gibney of Gibfootballshow looks at
Walter Smith's options:
Much of the pre-match build is based over what system Walter Smith will play in the
first leg.
