Everyone is talking about the Champions League obviously, but since we only have Portuguese teams in the Europa League, lets hear about that haha.
Have you been following it? Watching the matches?
Who do you want the winner to be? Who do you think is going to win?
I have not been watching the matches because I cannot be bothered streaming them, but I have been following the results. Even if I didn't want to, it's all my friends post about on facebook anyway haha. I want Benfica to win, since it's my club since I've been born, but like it always happens, we will probably beat Juventus and then lose to Sevilla or Valencia. Those two seem pretty even, will be an interesting game.

He is, actually he just got suspended from the next game Benfica is playing. But I cannot get myself to be mean to him because he dedicated his life to winning the Portuguese Cup. Did you know when he was 13 years old his grandfather took him to see the final of the Portuguese Cup and died during the game? Since then he has done everything to get where he is. He almost won it in 2007 and last year, and now this year we are in the finals again! How sad is his life story..?

Literally no-one in England cares about Europa League even if our favourite teams are in it, even the Johnstone's Paint Trophy is a bigger deal

:P maybe not strictly true but I think it is seen as more of a hindrance to your league position than anything else

Yeah definitely, look at Liverpool this season when they haven't been tired from all the European games that the other top teams have had :P

exactly. They could well win the league this year but they're gonna need some serious strengthening in the summer to be able to cope with the added fixtures next year.
Look at how the Europa League has ruined the league campaign of the the likes of Swansea and Newcastle in recent years too. Chelsea was probably an anomaly as it had the squad to be able to almost field completely different teams in Europe and in the league :P

Well we need to care about the Europa League because that's all we have since we totally failed in the Champions haha. At least we can be second best in the second best league..
