Depends on the TV coverage (I know Russia gets quite a bit of money from it), but yeah it isn't as high as it should be IMO. Still a classy tournament and you can see that the fans/players care. | ||

Fucking get in! Such slow start to the game by Chelsea, but Benfica were trying to pass it in, really need to try and work Cech which is pretty poor. But defo Benfica were best in 1st half. Then finally in the 2nd half Chelsea dug in, started to close down the Benfica players and pounced! Great goal by Torres (poor defending of course) and it looked like we could score more after Jesus made some crazy subs. Playing Gaiten LB? WTF. But they got a penalty which was right and Cardoza hammered it past Cech! Then i thought fuck this is going extra time written all over it again FUCK!! Then Lampard nearly made me scream the house down with that boomer, holy shit! Would of been some goal that. But after getting our corner where Chelsea are ALWAYS dangerous with Luiz/Ivanovic/Cahill and JT if he is on the pitch, get a good delivery in (but some poor marking from Benfica too) and Ivanovic scores a header worthy of winning the cup! GET IN!! Double Champions of Europe in 2 years NICE!!!!Holding both titles for another 10days as well! EVEN BETTER On May 16 2013 06:20 Ysellian wrote: Congratz Pandemona and sc2k btw! (Chelsea fans I know off) I was kinda rooting for Benfica, but I do respect Chelsea for winning this trophy as well. Chelsea played well during the tournament and there some really dramatic matches towards the final. I'm glad chelsea didn't just throw the towel after dropping out of the champions league like so many of the top sides do. Yeah my Benfica mate came round to watch the game with me and i said the same to him. Both Chelsea and Benfica played good solid teams for every game after dropping into the competition from the Champions League and look where it got them. To a major final, something for their fans and club to celebrate. Might not be the top competition in Europe but it does give you a shot at beating the champions league winners the following summer  BRING ON THE GERMANS!!! Also if it is Bayern who win...Possible Mourinho vs Pep in the Super Cup ^_^ | ||

Still a classy tournament and you can see that the fans/players care. It's a great tournament because it gives teams that are too small for the UCL a chance to compete for a meaningful European trophy. According to Wikipedia Chelsea get 5m euros for winning (plus all the money for the previous rounds), and Benfica get 2.5m euros. That's not a bad payout. | ||

Indeed he is but I guess people tend to hate on Fernando for no reason and say he is a bad player, amazing feat, the both of them. I think there is only one season he (Torres) has scored more goals than this one but I'm not sure. Anyway, BANE MY CAPTAIN <3 what a player, they screwed him out of a european final last year but he came back to fuck shit up | ||

Now even if he does something nice like today's goal or last year's vs barca people see him as the retarded guy in math class who can only get the right answer by accident. | ||

Kick Off 18:45 GMT (+00:00) Benfica vs Chelsea + Show Spoiler [Result!] + Benfica 1 2 Chelsea + Show Spoiler [Champions!] + CHELSEA FC!!!!!! hahahahaahahaha I love this. Just to make sure everyone knows :D On Torres...I really don't think he's worth anything like 50 million, but he does actually work quite hard and he gets some bad breaks, he has more than a little bit of skill. I would value him around 15 million I think, he can definitely perform but he is no Van Persie or Suarez is he! Incidentally I think his better position would be playing off another striker or even as a 'trequartista' attacking midfielder. I would still rather keep him although if another striker turned up and another club made a legit offer, perhaps letting him go would make sense. If we continue to play with 3 attacking mids, it's going to be unlikely we will play with 2 strikers. But if we do, 4 strikers in the squad makes sense. Like I say I'd happily take Wilfried Bony plus the other 3 (including Lukaku) so we can play Man City style, but if we get Falcao/Cavani maybe it would be better to have 3 strikers so they don't get too bothered ego-wise. | ||
