Portuguese Liga 2010-11


Its finally here after months of waiting. The Portuguese Liga Sagres begins today with the Braga-Portimonense game.
Lots of people believe that this year there will be four teams competing for the championship.
No disrespect to Braga, I just don't believe that they have a deep enough bench to compete the whole year, especially after losing so many players; Evaldo, Meyong, Joao Pereira, Hugo Viana, and Eduardo all left the team, it will be hard to replace these guys.
The battle will go down between the three big ones, Benfica, Sporting, and Porto.
Benfica are the favorites, but Sporting has improved tremendously, and they had a fine preseason. Even after losing Veloso and Moutinho, the arrivals of Maniche and Andre Santos will make Sporting's midfield better.
Porto will be Porto, Pinto da Costa will make sure that his team continue to get all the calls.

I am just hoping that this season we have good soccer, lots of fans in the stands, and little controversy outside the games, but we all know better........
