June 12, 2014
With the world cup cannon set to fire its proud shot across the bow of the world as a whole in the very new future, the wait it over, and before the first ankle is crunched in rage, it seems a joyful routine to embark on predictions. Who will prosper? Who will fail miserably? […]
Juventus 0-0 Benfica…The end of the road.
May 2, 2014
A disappointing european journey which began with a costly 1-1 draw in Copenhagen reached its conclusion last night in Turin, as Benfica refused to cave in under the pressure of our home advantage and partisan support to progress to the final of the Europa League.
