Why aren't they getting more credit? They basically produced a championship winning team. Just as impressive as Barcelona's contribution to Spain's golden generation and Buyern to Germany's WC winning team.
>4/11 of the starting team currently play for Sporting >9/14 of the Portuguese players involved in the match are products of Sporting
GOATing on winning the Champions League watch
Pissfica on pooicide watch
Poorto on pooicide watch
Luke Cox
People recognize. No one is on suicide watch. Let other glory hunt, we're just happy Portugal won.
But good of you to try and stir up shit.
Justin Young
Because Benfica has 14 million supporters(Pedro Guerra dixit) and they control the media. TVI, which is a national channel whose president is also Benfica's vice president is the leader regarding the desinformation campaign and they will talk about how good Renato and Ronaldo were.
The fact is simple. 8 of the 11 players that started the final learned how to play football at Sporting.
Michael Edwards
Benfiquista here but Rui Patrício is GOAT.
Matthew Wright
...
Noah Hall
fucking clubismo's
>it was like this for the past 12 years and we didn't win anything thanks sporting
Fernando Santos is the true GOAT
Isaac Cook
Yes he's GOAT for understanding that he should be playing the complete Sporting midfield. The football immediately got better kek.
Carter Campbell
the Jesus midfield
Parker Jones
Will we win the CL this year lads?
Liam Ramirez
Could have had 10/14.
Joshua Jenkins
we did have 10/14 the OP is wrong Ronaldo Quaresma Moutinho Nani William Fonte Adrien Joao Mario Patricio Cedric
Michael Price
The people know, I am happy that >our club makes big contributions to portuguese football, and SCP's academy is recognized throughout the continent.
Wyatt Cook
Sporting fag here.
I am still completely assblasted with our coach and president shittalking Benfica and giving them the strength to pull back from an 8 point Sporting lead. I love our players, but fuck the management.
Dominic Reyes
SLIMANI SLIMANI SLIMANI
Tyler Anderson
Then you should be mad at your players instead. Especially Bryan Ruiz, since if he had never missed that open goal against Benfica, you guys would've won the league.
Brody Davis
Rely on a Fulham flop to win you the league, lads.
Jeremiah Morales
Not at all, there we're tons of moments like that in the tournament. Losing against Benfica is a very possible odd whereas losing to fucking União da Madeira is way worse.
Bryan Ruiz gave Sporting way more goals than he took.
We need to be Champions, desperately. The momentum created by the new President (we where 7th placed a few years ago) to a competitive team based on the Academy must not go to waste. Ffs, even more than half of our stadium is already sold out from the annual seats already. Everyone was with the team until the end. New talent is coming.
We really need it.
Grayson Jackson
And we'll have the only think that was lacking last season. A fucking second striker Podence and Alan Ruiz! Teo can fuck off now
William Miller
Sporting fans are fucking sad
Every single fucking Euro game, after the game my facebook feed is full of: 1) Normal people celebrating the victory 2) Sporting fans going "HAHAHAHA LITERALLY 200% OF OUR PLAYERS ARE FROM SPORTING HAHAH KILL YOURSELVES BENFICA FANS YOU'RE DISGUSTING AND DESERVE TO DIE HAHAH SPORTING LMAO"
Even the official Sporting facebook page posted one of those congratulations pics for our nt when we won some game (don't remember which) but they only included Sporting players on the photo. Everyone just laughed at them and commented about how fucking pathetic that was so next time they added like two players from other clubs to try and hide their salt.
Sporting fans are the only portuguese club fans that can't forget their cancerous MY TEAM > YOUR TEAM mentality during the fucking euro cup. They only praise Sporting players and whenever one of them does anything they just rub it in your face like HAHAHA WHERE ARE YOUR BENFICA PLAYERS NOW YOU FUCKING PIG LMAO SPORTING IS THE BEST
It's just sad to see. Can't you fuckers let go of that shitty mentality for one fucking month? Just for one month, let's all be Portuguese, let's just support our national team without spending every second looking for some reason to yell that Sporting is actually the best and everyone else is retarded
Jaxon Garcia
Sftu u bitch ass motherfucker The ONLY fucking reason Portugal is on the map is because of Sporting and its Academy. You should just be grateful and stfu u fucking musgeira monkey Your club is a corrup shithole that contributs with NOTHING fucking NOTHING to the NT while 10/14 players in the final ARE MADE IN SPORTING... SHUT YOUR FUCKING TOOTHLESS DRUNK BENFIKEK MOUTH MOTHERFUCKER WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? IRRELEVANT PIECE OF SHIT BENFICA CLUB SMALL FUCKING CLUB
Mason Miller
Please stop doing this to yourself
Andrew Butler
lol what a butthurt faggot Sporting fans are allowed to be proud of their players, we see them since they are little kids and watch them develop into great players, so we can't help to feel proud. The only player your club has there is a bench warmer, so respect what sporting does for the country.
Alexander King
you're just mad cuz your club is irrelevant outside of portugal, and even in here you have to buy the whole media to keep the fans supporting that corrupt filthy club. Benfica is pathetic.

V: Ainda sonha com a guerra?
ALA: (...) Apesar de tudo, penso que guardávamos uma parte sã que nos permitia continuar a funcionar. Os que não conseguiam são aqueles que, agora, aparecem nas consultas. Ao mesmo tempo havia coisas extraordinárias. Quando o Benfica jogava, punhamos os altifalantes virados para a mata e, assim, não havia ataques.
V: Parava a guerra?
ALA: Parava a guerra. Até o MPLA era do Benfica. Era uma sensação ainda mais estranha porque não faz sentido estarmos zangados com pessoas que são do mesmo clube que nós. O Benfica foi, de facto, o melhor protector da guerra. E nada disto acontecia com os jogos do Porto e do Sporting, coisa que aborrecia o capitão e alguns alferes mais bem nascidos. Eu até percebo que se dispare contra um sócio do Porto, mas agora contra um do Benfica?
V: Não vou pôr isso na entrevista...
ALA: Pode pôr. Pode pôr. Faz algum sentido dar um tiro num sócio do Benfica?

9 players played, play, were raised at FC Porto. Not suicide material.
Ricardo Carvalho - Made in Porto Pepe - Made in Porto Bruno Alves - Made in Porto André Gomes - Youth player João Mário - Youth player Moutinho - Developed in Porto Quaresma - Developed in Porto Vieirinha - Made in Porto Danilo - Developing in Porto

Deal with it.
Kevin Collins
You didn't amke any players your faggot some of those just played for your club...The only player you have in the Euro is Danilo and André gomes. Two shitty bench warmers
Thomas Johnson
Without bribing the reffs Porto is done as a club. You are literally Braga tier, the only thing the club has left are the fans because its all just going downhill from here. just look at your fucking players and coach..
Jackson Thompson
This is being deluded. The years and years of being a feeder club, raped by superior clubs clearly have taken a toll on your sobriety. It must be really frustrating having what were once great talents and being unable to develop them into proper players. Sporting's good at finding talent not at developing it. They stale if they stay there too long. The only exception is Rui Patricio, watch João Mário turn to shit if he doesn't leave soon.
Jose Cox
...
Cameron Robinson
The greatest feat Braga has ever done is reaching a Europa League final. They got beaten in the final by... Porto. They beat Benfica in the semis. Still, that's a bigger achievement than Sporting has ever done.
Landon Smith
kek, então mas o maçã podre estava morto para os sportinguistas?
Oliver Collins
You produced jackshit.
You gave them the basis but the players made themselves, period. In the end of the day, Ronaldo is the player he is because of the work put in during his time in Sporting, MU and Real, and all his individual work. He wasn't worth 100 million when he left Sporting, nor was he anywhere near the level he is right now. To take credit for that is to diminish the players hard work and dedication and frankly makes you look fucking retarded.
Stop trying to squeeze a moral victory out of something that belongs to the whole country and its players.
Oliver Lopez
Sporting just won the European. and won the Cup of Cups which is bigger than the CL back in 64... Porto is nothing compared to sporting or benfica.
Eli Sanchez
stfu faggot 4 Players that currently play and were made in Sporting were undisputed starters. Patricio gave us the fucking cup.
Ethan Brooks
Maybe because Portugal's win was basically Chelsea 2012?
Chase Lee
Cup of Cups? What's that? A competition so great that was unanimously terminated for being crap? In what year? 1964? Champions League didn't exist back then.
Braga's Europa League's final makes them a bigger european club than sporting, who's solely known for the friendly Ronaldo made for them against Man Utd.
Levi Watson
(You) got DESTROYED by the muslim capital of europe mate.
Jacob Moore
Yeah, we totally destroyed ourselves in that game, I agree.
Bentley Sanders
>Champions League didn't exist back then. yes. it was called Cup winners Cup which sporting won fair and square unlike Porto's CLs which were all fucking bought. even sir Alex said so.
Your bait is pathetic especially coming from an irrelevant club both in and outside of portugal.
Its like your not even a portuguese club, sometimes I forget FC Porto exists since the media has literally 0 (zero) coverage on you because of how little fans you have and how irrelevant your shit corrupt club is. embrassing.
Tyler Cruz
Benfica fan here I think most of the whole "Benfica controls the media" hype is just conspiracy theories. The media shouldn't even be able to control people, we should be able to think for ourselves. That said, I have to congratulate Sporting for having the best academy of Portugal, it's true and there is no denying that. However, I think both Benfica and Porto are making huge investments in their own academies, which can only be good to our NT, and I hope that, one day, we may have an academy with 7/8 players in the NT, as Sporting does now.
Lincoln White
If benfica or sporting win a game of table tennis on the same day that Porto wins the CL. the tennis table win will get more coverage than your irrelevant club. Thats how shitty your club is. literally no one cares about porto
Sebastian Peterson
Rest of the Sup Forums, this is what Portugal has become, a bunch of idiots discussing whose cock is bigger. After we won the Euro, something which probably will never happen again, portuguese fans keep on discussing which team is the biggest one, instead of celebrating the greatest achievement we've ever had. This has reached a whole new level of sadness, not even our NT can stop club rivarly. People don't even talk football anymore, they just talk about buying refs, stuff said on the media and social networks and which club has the best ACADEMY, not the best team, but the best academy, as if that sub19 championships ever mattered to anyone. I believe the academy is incredibly important for a club, but more important is what you do with it, and, here in Portugal, we don't support our younger players, we just crap on them, all they have to do is be in the wrong club and you're already being compared to shit. This is what's wrong here, but unfortunatley people here are so blinded by their club's colours they can't even see what's right or wrong.

My brother works for ABola. Benfica does control the media. Heres how it works (and I know what im talking about) >Benfica has weekly meeting with their TV Pundits to make comunication strategy >Since BdC took over they have been targeting Sporting and Sporting only, they realise Sporting is a much bigger threat than porto All the Benfica pundits have the jobs to lower the status of the sporting pundits by going aginst them personally and making them look bad on TV. Another thing is deny ANYTHING that benfica has done wrong. Always target sporting finances altho its better than benfica's NEVER, BUT NEVER say a single good thing about a sporting player, this is key, if they say anything even remotly good about a player they always need to say a "but" which is followed by saying shit agaisnt bdc or JJ. They have to make BdC look like the worst person alive. The pundits arent in TV to discuss footbal but only to propagandize benfica. . ->> Now this is the part i know allot about: Benfica pays royaltys to CMTV, ABolaTV, and now is moving into TVI and TVI24 and have "deals" with SIC tho its in a lower scale. They pay them to put the pundits benfica chooses to put on their TV channels and (this is key) They have absolute control on the football TV show Hosts, so they ALLWAYS spend half their shows debating the Bad stuff about sporting and keep the conversation about the bad things in sporting going. they cut short the sporting pundits and tell the benfica pundits they have all the time they want to keep talking shit about sporting.
This my friend is how you brainwash the masses. Im taking a degree on social communication and have also worked as an inturn on Abola with my brother for a while. Abola and Record directors are fannatic Benfica fans too.

Brayden White
>fuck the NT stopped reading right there
James Evans
All you niggers should shut the fuck up. Portugal wins a fucking trophy and not even 2 days later you're arguing which club contributed more for the win. Even during the tournament "Renato Sanches was POTM ahah" "best goalscorers are from Sporting ahah" fuck off
Sporting was very important because 10 players (Patrício, Cedric, Fonte, William, Adrien, João Mário, Moutinho, Nani, Quaresma, Ronaldo) were brought up in Sporting's academy.
Porto was very important because 8 players (Bruno Alves, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Vieirinha, Moutinho, Danilo, André Gomes, Quaresma) either came through the youth ranks or moved there and became great players.
Benfica wasn't as important but they still had a major role in the career of 3 players (André Gomes, Renato Sanches, Eliseu) and they have fucked Sporting and Porto for 3 straight years so shut up.
Braga (Eduardo, Éder, Rafa) was also important, as was Marítimo (Pepe, Danilo).
Asher Gomez
Mate i have celebrated harder when Montero scored against Braga on the portuguese cup final 2 year a go, than any of the goals the portuguese nt scored during the euro. Don't give a rats ass about it. I just want to see Sporting win the league.
Brayden Reyes
Can someone explain to me why Sporting doesn't do as well as Porto and Benfica? There's supposed to be a Big 3 in Portugal, but all I see is Big 2. Is it bad management? Or is portugese league/federation run by Benfica fans so they get help from the refs like Juve did in Italy and Barca does in Spain now? Is it political? I know that Benfica is left wing and Sporting is right.
I mean, there are other countries that have Big 3's where one club had a long period of bad results, Feyenoord in Netherlands, Inter in Italy, but those clubs were counted as major clubs in their countries because they won stuff in Europe. Freaking Feyenoord won European Cup just like Ajax and PSV. Sporting on the other hand didn't and I imagine they must be assblasted that Porto and Benfica did.
I never liked Benfica and Porto so I'm pretty annoyed that those losers from Sporting can't win even one league.
Jonathan Phillips
>Is it bad management?
Yes. We have better management now but our president is still a knob
t. Sporting fag
Gavin Gray
They went through a rough patch yes. Very poor management from consecutive boards that almost lead them to bankruptcy. They're getting back on...slowly but they are.
And no Benfica isn't left wing, nor Sporting is right wing. That's completely standardized these days. One of Benfica's vice presidents was even a former minister during a right wing government i.e. The things is that Benfica was founded due to a merger of two small clubs based on working class areas of Lisbon, while Sporting was founded with the help of a very rich bank owner. But like i said, these days it's comp'letely standardized.
Carter Williams
inculto de merda.
Carter Brooks
this Portuguese melt down fukin hell guys
Jordan Fisher
Sporting had a lot of past presidents in the last 10 years who didn't really look out for the team's best interests. Bad management, that's what happened, in my opinion. There's hope, with the current president, that things will get better, though not easy. We were pretty competitive in the portuguese championship this year. Maybe you will get to see something good from Sporting in the Champions League next year too.
Jace Rivera
I have full respect for Braga's achievements in the last years when it comes to europe competitions.
But there's nothing that Braga has achieved that entitles more european prestige than Sporting. At the very best we would be equals since Sporting has gone to Europa League final as well. But then again, we also have Cup Winners Cup and a lot of titles in other sports... Also more presence in the Champions League, even if not particularly great.
Jayden Richardson
That's what you get for leaving Europe. Now this shit is ours.
Hunter Diaz
Good good, fight among yourselves let the hatred flow through you. Only the strongest can be champion
Nolan Lewis
OP are you Aussie or Port living there?
Alexander Gray
The problem with Sporting is that it should be dead by know following Godinho Lopes term. But Bruno de Carvalho did such a good job that in three years we went from the worst crisis in our history to our old status as a title contender and this year maybe the number 1 candidate. This recovery pissed many people off.
Jonathan James
Jesus fucking Christ zborting with the attention seeking. Yeah we all know you have 1 of the best football academies in the world. We love you for that because we also benefit from that. Stop trying to make everything about you every single time.

>this year maybe the number 1 candidate Just like last year, right? And the one before that? And every year for the past 10+ years?
Keep dreaming, we'll keep winning ;)

>Yeah we all know you have 1 of the best football academies in the world I don't like to brag Ajax has the GOAT academy and they have decades of experience at that. Barcelona La Masia was modeled after them when Cruyff urged the president to do so

Who gives a shit where they were formed? Only faggots who don't win championships care about that because it's the only thing they can cling to.
What matters is forming players, and I'm glad Porto and Benfica have stepped up their game and it isn't just Sporting sending out waves of young players every year. It's just a shame imo that Benfica immediately sells their extremely talented players, unlike Porto and Sporting.
Angel Collins
what's this gif supposed to show? a dive? have you ever played football? A touch like that can easily cause the player to fall to the ground, especially if you're jumping like that fag was.
Gavin Green
Does Sporting win trophies? Is this all they have to hold on to?
How much does a Portuguese trophy actually count for when most of the teams they play have like 1,000 attendance?
