Vitoria Guimarães beat Zrinjski Mostar from Bosnia 3-0 today and putting them on a solid position to be the first Portuguese team to reach the group stage of the Conference League.
Impressive start of the season for them with 7 wins in 7 games, 15 goals scored and 0 conceded.
Quite surprising given that they sold their best player, Jota Silva aka Jack Grealish from Ali Express, to Forest.

Happy to see San Lorenzo de Almagro knocked out by Atlético Mineiro last night. Get fucked cunts.
Our starting striker unilaterally quit the team and has breached his contract. San Lorenzo are trying to sign him since they're in a relegation battle. Our president told San Lorenzo not to do it because we never terminated his contract, we did not authorize any of his actions, and we're taking him to court. They're threatening to take us to court for refusing to send transfer papers so they can sign him. The fucking asshole broke contract on his own, we never agreed to it. Fucking cunts I hope they get relegated.
Would've like to have seen Colo-Colo knocked out by Junior Barranquilla cause fuck Arturo Vidal forever but can't win 'em all.

By Scum Go To PostMaybe Silva was holding them back…I think credit has to go to the new manager Rui Borges.
He already had done an incredible job last season taking recently promoted Moreirense to 6th place.
It's kind of curious that 6th place is Moreirense's record placing in Primeira Liga, which had happened once already in 18/19 when Ivo Veira was the manager and finished behind 5th placed Guimarães due to goal difference but Guimarães snatched him in the summer, pretty much what happened this year.
Guimarães should be in Braga's place as the 4th best team in Portugal. They have the most loyal fan base outside the top 3, normally they beat Braga in terms of attendance which is great given that Braga normally is fighting for title or at least near there. They also have a good academy and scouting with some of their former players having some good careers like Marcus Edwards, Leverkusen's Edmond Tapsoba and Raphinha.
That chase to be the best of the rest has caused them a lot of problems with financial issues and instability in the presidency.
The Conference League money should help a bit and maybe they can overcome Braga, their neighbours and their biggest rivals.
Guimarães X Braga is easily the best rivalry outside the top 3, last season matches were classics.
I know Chelsea fans are happy to get rid of some of these guys, but it's a little weird to me how little they value their academy players. Football has changed a lot.
Mount, Gallagher, Guehi, Solanke, are they absolute world beaters, no, but I feel like if these were United players they'd be at the club for 15 years. Even if they were in and out of the squad, as squad players.
Nevermind the 2-3 more they're looking to offload now. There's also Musiala tearing it up in Germany, he was at Chelsea from 8 years old, but that's a different situation.

Red card for Gala now. Young Boys need to get another goal with this advantage. Oh, looks like they're getting a pen as well (just turned it on) as they were showing the slow-mo of the player being carded, lol.
Converts, 3-2.
Converts, 3-2.
Abdulkerim with great block

Dude spent 7 years at the Arsenal academy, in the same age group as Wilshere, Frimpong and Ayling (he's on the back row, second from the right), before being let go for being two small.
A man has been convicted of violently assaulting a two-year-old girl, leaving her with life-changing brain injuries.
Kiernan Hughes-Mason was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and child cruelty after the girl was found with serious injuries at an address in Westcliff-on-Sea in January 2020.
During the case the prosecution barrister referred to one doctor’s assessment of the child’s injuries as comparable to ‘a high-speed road traffic accident’ or ‘a fall from a substantial height of several storeys’.
He will be sentenced on Tuesday 10 September at Basildon Crown Court.

Don't know anything about this dude but I'd read recently we've been setting up a transfer for next summer.
By n8 dogg Go To Posttransfer updateBenfica fans are pissed at Neres transfer. He was sold because he wasn't willing to be a backup for a 38 year old Di Maria. Now Di Maria is out for a month injured.

By Laboured Go To PostDon't know anything about this dude but I'd read recently we've been setting up a transfer for next summer.He is really good. One of the standout players in the matches against us (we played Atalanta 4 times last season), he is a very complete midfielder.
By Freewheelin Go To PostWould arse lads take sterling?On loan with no obligation to buy and Chelsea still paying the bulk of his wages then sure.
he’s got a thicc ass so yes
By Laboured Go To PostDon't know anything about this dude but I'd read recently we've been setting up a transfer for next summer.Much better signing than Ugarte.
Man Utd came second on the list, with Fulham, Brentford and Liverpool all in the top 10. Brentford doesn't surprise me, but given the fan sentiment over the recent years regarding the stadium and owners taking dividends out of the club, I'm surprised to see United coming in second.
Come on Lanús you have ONE job tonight. Send those guinea pig eaters LDU Quito back to the highlands.
Some tier x rumors of us looking into Lookman from Atalanta. Based on the 10 min yt vid I saw, he's the perfect backup
OMFG Botafogo were up 4-1 on aggregate, Palmeiras have scored 3 goals in '86 and twice in stoppage time. Palmeiras have forced penalty kicks!
Palmeiras got VAR'd! Goal overturned due to handball! Palmeiras now have a direct free kick as the very last chance down 3-4 on aggregate.
Wow Palmeiras struck the woodwork on the free kick! Botafogo survive 4-3, Palmeiras eliminated! What a fucking incredible game!
By Batong Go To PostVini lad, you did itAt what cost Batong my boi
Botafogo are reducing my lifetime expiration date
Still only quarterfinalist
Let's go
