Hey! Are you from any country except Portugal, and you wonder what the fuck is this shit?
Look no more, I'm going to explain you.
Benfica (named after a small town for the poor in Lisbon) has a big rival, called Sporting Lisbon (which had noble origins).
It's like two children fighting for who is right.
Well, Benfica was founded in 1908, but the first part of the club was founded in 1904, so they say that Benfica is from 1904. This triggers Sporting.
Benfica, together with Porto (who are smart doing their dark business; now the good guys) did some nasty shit to the referee system. They offered money and hookers in exchange for wins. Well, no one was really proved guilty, except a 4th club called Boavista who didn't ["almost"] anything. This also triggers Sporting, who had a corrupt cop few years ago who tried to do the same in the back of the old president, but failed.
Sporting is now at 14 years without winning the league. Two years ago, they elected a new president, called Bruno de Carvalho. This man did a great job restructuring the club's economy. However, he talks too much, and shots in every direction, and sometimes, he's right.
Last 3 years we finished 2nd, 3rd and now 2nd (maybe who knows).
It's obvious Benfica and their pleb get this salty, because they think they're threatened. However, only the stupid people think this is clean money. It's not the first time they get involved in money laundering. They have 600 million in debt. I do repeat. 600 million.
Sporting also got in trouble with UEFA and Doyen and they own some money, because of the President. The pleb rubs that in Lisbon fans' faces, when they forget they owe 600 million.
They are comparing this sale to ronaldo. That reveals how stupid and uneducated they are.
They can't look to themselves, that's an exclusive quality of Sporting.
Plus. I'd like to see them loosing the championship. They're already celebrating.
