Official SL Benfica Thread

they look the same because they were designed by the same architech,and why were a benfica scarf when you can wear a celtic scarf

 

or join them together to create a super scarf so super that a man would shoot himself in the head in tribute to the scarf the Celtfica scarf

 

The palm trees and pond are from the shopping mall just across the street...

 

I'm going to Lisbon for this match. How far away is the staduim where Celtic won the 1967 European Cup from the Staduim of Light?

How much would it cost in a taxi to go and visit it?

 

Stadium of Light (old one) is no more, the new one was built virtually right next to it.

just got my tickets delivered, is the south stand the away stand for this match? dead on in the middle it seems

 

aww well the match is getting closer and looks like celtic couldny hav asked for a better the result to get them into the right mentality for it(esp naka who will be our key player again). i think 2-0 celtic with JVoH and Maloney or McGeady scoring

 

really lookin forward to this one ! i think its going to be close but we should do it ! 2-1

 

Right, here's the team to gub Benfica........

I would stick with the same team against dundee utd

 

The stadium is called Estádio Nacional (National Stadium). It's just west of Lisbon. Don't know about the taxi cost but being outside the city limits and though the journey is not very long it can be a bit price-y but I would say not more than €10-15 (£7-10) each way... that is if the taxi driver doesn't try to squeeze some inexistent rate seeing you are foreigner... Taking a taxi back to Lisbon might be a problem as I don't know if you are able to get a taxi from there. But if you have the time, maybe the best way to get there is taking the train from Cais do Sodré station (which is also a tube station... and has a few Irish bars nearby) heading to Cascais and leave at the Cruz Quebrada station. The train journey should take you 15min each way and another 15min walking (north, with the sea on your back, through the woods) to the stadium. Enjoy your stay.
