This week on the Long Ball Futebol Podcast, Barney and Albert are joined by Matthieu Monteiro from Golaço TV to discuss Jornada 11 of the Primera Liga season.
First on the agenda is the Lisbon Derby which saw Benfica grab two late goals to win a dramatic game and move top of the table. There’s also discussion about Porto’s narrow win over impressive Vitória, Braga winning against an improved Arouca side, Estoril putting 4 goals past Casa Pia, and Filipe Martins resigning as a result.
This week on the Long Ball Futebol Podcast, Albert & Barney round up Jornada 10 of the Primeira Liga season, and have a look at how the table is shaping up after ten games.
Porto fell to a surprise loss at the hands of Estoril, whilst Sporting won again after coming from behind against Estrela, Braga score 6 goals in one half against Portimonense, and Famalicão put in an impressive performance against Gil Vicente.
In episode 82 of the Seleção podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Tom Kundert of PortuGOAL.net to discuss Portugal’s dominant qualification for EURO 2024.
Danny and Tom analyse the tactical flexibility of manager Roberto Martínez, his ability to show Cristiano Ronaldo can still be an extremely useful part of the team, Bruno Fernandes becoming the focal point of Portugal’s attack, and what the Spaniard may do in the final two qualifiers and friendlies leading up to next summer’s European championship.
This week Albert & Barney are joined by Kevin Fernandes to discuss all the action from the eighth round of Primeira Liga matches this season.
Sporting overcome a tough test against Arouca to win an important game which sees them stay top of the table, Estoril hold their own against Benfica but António Silva earns the Eagles the win, Chaves pull off an incredible comeback to get their first home victory of the season, and Álvaro Pacheco wins in his first game in charge of Vitória.
This week, Albert and Barney are joined by PortuGOAL’s own Matthew Marshall to discuss a big week in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica beat Porto 1-0 at the Estádio da Luz to win the first Clássico of the season, Braga beat Estrela da Amadora 4-2 but can’t stop conceding goals, Sporting scrape past plucky 10-man Farense, Vitória are let off the hook thanks to a controversial red card, and Boavista and Famalicão play out an exciting 2-2 draw.
