Well, I know not all of you are football fans, but since I was inside it, I could never stop having an emotional or theorical side of it, specially in this kind of ocasions.
Portugal Cup: Benfica lost 0-1 against Porto in in 1st leg at Dragão Stadium ( I live very close to it ) at March 26th
2nd leg (today): Benfica won 3-1 with 10 against 11 players after a player been shown the red card at 30' game.
Why I show you this: Benfica won 3-1 after a portuguese youngster scoring the benfica's 3rd goal, and me having been in football with youngsters, in this kind of situation (not everyone is Cristiano Ronaldo) scoring such an important goal and with such magic, is really the key for a career and to have someone to support you. I had to share it with you guys, since I might start with football again in a shorter time than I thought, and I couldn't stop a tear while watching this
BTW, just enjoy Platini's face at 0:57 after seeing a fan hugging the players (0:49). I bet he couldn't believe just how passionate we are
What a fantsatic goal! The build up was epic and the Little flick over the defender was world class!
I know the feeling, My team (Sheffield United) was playing at Wembley at the weekend (FA Cup semi final, May have heard of it) Was fantastic seeing them on TV playing well and beating a Premiership team. (We are in the 3rd tier) That was until the 2nd half and they then went on to win 5-3, But all in all the passion felt in that room when we took the lead twice was fantastic.
Great video again though

I don't like soccer at all, but I know your feeling for that guy and I share it. It's great, it's so many things at a time ... rewarding those who trusted in you, prooving your own's worth, making happy so many people you share emotions with ...

I Support Chelsea seen them a couple of times including at Anfield which was amazing but i've kind of fallen out of love with football ...
Its just obscene the amount of Money involved these days when you look at a Diva like Wayne Rooney his wages are just ridiculous no one is worth £300.000 a week ...
Credit where credit is due though i do believe that is a wonder goal Tiago Thanks for sharing ,he really takes it well , great ball control ,and what a stunning goal ...
I understand your passion and i do love to see young kids play football i think its great to see the game at grass roots level and i go and watch my nephews play reguarly ..

I love Football (U.S soccer) mostly since I started working on the football environment; always supported Benfica and all the portuguese around the world. I'm working again in football, this time with 9 year old kids and I'm glad I'm with them. I know see why there's so many youngsters with a lot of physical handicaps when reaching teen years ( don't know if I expressed myself the right way).
And to conclude, here's a video from a Benfica fan after conquering this year's title (sorry if I don't translate, basically he says that we lost everything last year at the last minute, but we could still believe them for this year, then we lost Eusébio who we thought would live forever ,and ended in a magical way, where we can win eveything this year).
Oh, and Richard, there's the video of that great goal of the youngster in much better quality
Cheers guys
