so nuknow, benfica question? good enough to do some damage in the knockout stages, or just cannon fodder for one of the bigger teams?
After our (SCP) defeat for 1-0 with them, at Luz, it became quite clear what they're all about. They can't do shit without Cardozo and Aimar. Cardozo was sent off against us, for moaning, and they pretty much played 40min inside their box...obviously if they won, they did better... but it was pretty much clear that unless they have the 'extra' push of playing home they can't do much. They got Rodrigo (RM), and he has done some nice goals, he actually scored on his 1st 5 games If I remember correctly, but proved that he hasn't got that killer instinct when they most need it.
Their game in Old Trafford was no surprise, more cause Utd is shit this year... get benfica playing against a motivated Prem team... and they're history. Porto and Benfica are out of our League cup, both against bottom league teams... so yeah.
Who cares. I can only hope they go another round, only to get BCN or RM nad get 5-0 in the sac.
