Who are you supporting for the Eusebio Cup August 15th, Inter or Benfica?



Good afternoon!
After spending an hour on BlogCatalog discovering new blogs, I watched the sports clip on RTP Benfica convidou Inter de Milão para primeira edição da Eusébio Cup So while everyone is talking about Spain Euro 2008 champions. Deco at Chelsea. Pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo and girlfriend on vacation in the papers. I thought I'd share with you something different.
1st edition of the Eusebio Cup

Benfica - Inter

August 15, 2008
Stadio Da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal


Sounds like another pre-season tournament that doesn't really matter. In this case it does. It's Jose Mourinho's time to show soccer fans how he plans to use Inter for the Serie A.

Inter:

- 15 days before the Serie A starts, we can see what tactical formation Mourinho might use. The starting 11.
- New acquisitions?
- Shape of the Forwards, like Crespo, and Ibra. They'll be facing the best goalkeeper in the Portuguese league Quim. The 32 year old is in th ebest shape of his career. He was supposed to play in the Euro 2008 but that's another story. He got injured before the 1st euro 2008 match...

Benfica:

- New acquisitions will be presented a few days before.

- 1st season with former AC Milan player, Rui Costa, as one of the directors in Benfica. He's the public face right now when it comes to Benfica transfers. Players leaving, staying.

I plan to watch the game. I'm a fan of AS Roma but I'll be watching it because it's Jose Mourinho. Inter, the reigning scudetto champions. Figo. Benfica.

If it's not on TV I'll hear the live narration on Portuguese radio Antena 1.



- What interests you about this game? Mourinho's starting lineup? See if Inter can be as strong this season?
