How far did Pinto come off the line for Oscar Cardoza's penalty?

That is something that needs looking at, same as the stuttered run up.

My friend who is a ref here texted me and said Cardozo's penalty should have been retaken - the GK isn't allowed to come off the line until the penalty taker hits the ball.

He was already one meter out when Cardozo hit that pen haha :lol:

It was ridiculous, he was half way to the 6-yards line before Cardozo even touched the ball.

But I'm not complaining. For some reason, I just love seeing Benfica and Jorge Jesus lose.

Maybe the reason is because they knocked Juve out of their so beloved final? :P

Nope, the teams that get knocked out almost always go on to support the team that knocked them to say that they lost to the eventual champions no less. So try another one :P

Plus, I honestly wasn't bother by the Benfica result because while it would have been nice to win it in Turin, that was never a target, the target was the league. If you watched the matched, you'd see that the players and manager weren't that bothered either. It was a game that they wanted to win like any other game but you could definitely see that it didn't feel like a semifinal.

If you are aware of Guttmann famous curse its hard not feel sorry for Benfica as a natural.

I'm well aware, there was a lot of talk about it last year before our final against Benfica. 8 out of 8 now, is it?

Still, they've had an amazing season and the fans should be satisfied. Last year was more tough for them, they were fighting for the title until the last day of the season but lost to their bitter rivals Porto who ended up winning the league. After that they went on to lose the UEL final to us in injury time and a week later they were also beaten in the Portuguese cup final. Yesterday was nothing compared to that.

Excuses. This is what happens when a fan trying to convince themselves otherwise. :ph34r:

Didn't she disappear in Portugal? Otherwise her eyes don't look the same as Madelaide's. Madelaide has different color or something in one of her eyes, this one seems to have the exact same on both eyes.
