Primeira Liga

[Mister_Master]

Good game. Benfica had 5 points ahead 2 games ago (lost with Guimaraes and got a 0-0 with Academica).

[Voinjama]

Where does the Portuguese league rank in Europe. I would say about 6th based on their teams performances in Europe.

[GarethRDR]

5th, I think.

[Voinjama]

I presume you think it is better than the French league?

[GarethRDR]

Not particularly, to be honest. I'd have them pretty close to one another. UEFA obviously disagree but pfft, what do they know eh?!

[Voinjama]

The only leagues I follow is the English, German and Spanish. So I have no idea about the standard of the others, just basing it purely on how their teams do in the Champions League and the Europa League, which of course is not the full picture.

[Danwichmann]

Is Liga ZON Sagres broadcast at all in England? Is there anywhere to watch games in Birmingham or (even better) Worcester? 

[villa4europe]

no but if its a decent fixture with not alot else on im sure a bar that uses the net to show their games would take requests

 

im assuming your after porto v benfica, the only real clash is espanyol v madrid, i think if you phoned up and asked theyd probably put it on for you

[Danwichmann]

Cheers, will have to phone a couple of places.
