Last weekend, Nuno Gomes helped set-up Amorim's goal in Academica 0-2 Benfica. He made it on the cover of O Jogo for that:
'Nuno Gomes again decisive. MORTAL PASS. Quique praises the team effort.'
After not being called up for the friendly Brazil 6-2 Portugal, we'll see if Nuno Gomes scores in Benfica's next game. This Thursday it's
UEFA Cup (Taça UEFA)
Matchday 3, Group B
Thursday, Nov. 27, 2008
20:45 local time, 11:30am USA Pacific time
This game is very important for Benfica fans! They suffered a major setback by losing their last game at home. See video of Nuno Gomes saying Benfica needs to win the next 2 games (Nov. 6, 2008).
Benfica call-up list: No Argentinean midfielder Aimar, and Brazilian defender Luisao.
Only 3 strikers called up. What pair will play Cardozo and Nuno Gomes or Suazo and Nuno Gomes?
Goalkeepers: Quim, Moreira e Moretto.
Defenders: David Luiz, Sidnei, Miguel Vítor, Maxi Pereira e Jorge Ribeiro.
Midfielders: Katsouranis, Balboa, Fellipe Bastos, Ruben Amorim, Urreta, Bynia, Carlos Martins, Yebda e Reyes.
Forwards: Cardozo, Nuno Gomes e Suazo.
I'm looking forward to seeing Benfica win. Don't know how to follow the game because it's on Thursday, a holiday here in the United States, 'Thanksgiving day.'
