Vitor Baia will break Jorge Costa's Record for most CL games played for Porto

2 hours left... cant wait...

like last year at the same time same situation!!!

i would love to see you guys making it to the knock out stages.
Porto is playing attractive football, they would deserve it as they make the CL more exciting.
Porto play football, Rangers actually don't do really so i would not miss them at all.

Porto's Lineup:

is it either a 4-3-3 or a 4-5-1???

4-3-3 is damn too difficult to hold.


and WHY MCCARTHY AND NOT HUGO??!!?!?

Inter is winning the match.

A good oppurtunity for Porto.

1-1 at glasgow and..


HOW CAN THE UEFA ALLOW A GAME ON SUCH A FRIGGIN TERRAIN!!!

Quaresma couldnt do shit!!

they playing on mud!!!

unbeleiveable im watching the game ive never seen such poor conditions in my life its like not even watching football i havent even seen such bad conditions in the nfl lol BAIA amzing so far. quaresma out jorginho in ????? i hope its a good choice

It's a mud fight, its unbelievable how can a game be played in these conditions.

BTW, its also unbelievable how can Artmedia lose chances like the ones they already lost

Congratulations lads,

One hell of a group, someone had to lose out!

Here's to next year, we might meet again!

Wat a terrible pitch. The ball was hardly moving because of all of the mud.

Porto came into this game with blue jerseys and left with brown. Horrific pitch.

I cant believe Porto lost.

I was hoping they would win even though i am a Benfica fan. Whats even worse is that Porto couldnt even qualify for the world cup and give themselves another chance.

Wow, who knew such a great team 2 years ago could be dismantled like that?

Oh well, they can hold there heads high for the moment though as they are 1st in the superliga

heres the story on the game

Hey too bad the pitch is the same for both teams eh?

If it was decent weather then artmedia couldve pulled off a win

they played 0-0 mate .

the pitch was a catastrophy for both teams, maybe with a decent pitch one of the teams would have won.
but in the end Porto didn't lose the fight for the lnock out stages in this match.
they should have won at home vs Artmedia and Rangers and then they could have played relaxed yesterday.

Well if the pich was better Artmedia might have just won it, there was one incident where the ball stopped about a metre from the the goalline, nay?

It comes down to If's and Buts...

Rangers should have beat Artmedia Home and Away
Porto should have beat Rangers at the Dragao
Artmedia should have beat Porto yesterday...

It was a tough group, no doubt about it

It didn't "stop", it was taken off the line, but thats what you see in the highlights. I bet they didn't show in the highlights the 100xs Porto players missed the ball when they were going to shoot , the pitch did benefit Artmedia. They are more used to play in these conditions since it is their home plus, no disrespect to Artmedia, Porto has much much MUCH more technical players that in these conditions makes it impossible for them to have flair.

Artmedia is used to it, Porto isnt. And yes they did deserve to win last night, I'm only complaining about the pitch.

BTW Paulo Assunção fainted at the end of the match due to the effort he had to put during the game and obviously the temperature. Unbelievable.

Can I point out that the ground yesterday wasn't Artmedia's home ground, it was Slovan Bratislava's...

Meaning the pitch was as bad for both teams, and didn't suit any of them

haha, you must be smiling now?

Yet another defeat for the "Mighty Manchester"
