I think the substitution will have a negative effect to Sporting. They are taking out their best offensive midfielder for a center back who will play as a defensive midfielder...

Athletic are deserving the lead.

Showing off would be to have both games' starting elevens. And nobody cares for the ref. Sa Pinto is not holding back tonight. Sporting has the advantage (2-1 at home), but it will be very risky. Pereirinha is probably the biggest surprise, but he will provide some help at the right back.

Best in the world!

And Ronaldo teaches Messi how to do it...

how do you do it? Like everyone, I steal someone else's work.

But it is so simple...

Edit: Oh shit, this one is in Portuguese.

Congrats to Chelsea. Two almost perfect games and a very deserved win in the semis.

I just wanted to help.

Good Luck.

Good job.

Ramires. Miss you.

Not a bad idea if you ask me. The Europa League is full of teams who don't really care and would prefer to be either in the Champion's League or not in Europe at all. Not all of the teams in the Europa League are English Teams...

Yeap, this Chelsea team is pretty bad. We did what we could, we could have conceded 3 or 4 in the second half, but we could have won in the end. Well, rooting for Real to beat Barça in the final, tbh.

Really? Didn't know Maxi already had a yellow, by the time he was sent off, so I was wrong there, but the ref. hasn't been fair with the yellow cards.

Oh and by the way, I don't think that is a foul, but I understand the penalty. Edit: In the words of Didier Drogba, "What a fucking disgrace"

So, this seems like a basketball game.

Exactly. He got tackled by Javi Garcia (our defensive midfielder) by accident in the beginning of our game last Saturday and was injured, even through he played the whole game anyway. Today he didn't even do the training with the rest of the squad, and Jesus (our coach to anyone who doesn't know) said that he didn't recover in time to this game. Seeing as we have a really important game next Monday against Sporting, I understand that they don't rush Luisão to play the game tomorrow. But yeah, we're dead tomorrow.

Make it 4 out of 4. Really, what an awful luck we've had in the last two months.

So, 3 out of our 4 central defenders are injured. On Wednesday, we will be thrashed.

Now I can understand why Chelsea are fifth at the EPL. We will not go through but Barcelona will decimate this team.

Yeh, that was a penalty.
