A lot of similarities IMO between the current SCP and FC Porto 2004 Porto 2004 only had 1 more point at the 17 jornada than the current SCP, both with 14 league victories. (and thats with apito dourado scandals benefitting FCP) Strikers: Slimani/ Teo/ Montero vs Derley , McCarthy, Slight Advantage FCP - Slimani is besting it in particular but Montero and Teo have come up with big goals too. however, Derley and McCarthy were a dangerous combo. Midfield: William/Adrien/Joao Mario/Aquilani/ Paulista/ vs Deco/ Maniche/Costinha/ William and Adrien much better than Maniche and Costinha. The main thing FCP had was Deco, but Joao Mario in his current form is just as good as Deco was. Advantage SCP Defense: Paulo Oliveira/ Naldo/ Joao Pereira/ Jefferson vs Valante / Carvalho/ Jorge Costa/ Paulo Ferreira FCP at jornad 17 conceded 11 goals, vs SCP's 9 Paulo Oliveira is similar to Carvalho was, and Naldo is clearly better than Jorge Costa Jefferson also much better than Valente. Paulo Ferreira was not good either and is the reasons why Greece won euro 2004. Advantage SCP Goalkeepers Rui Patricio Vitor Baia is it any debate? Patricio by far and away better than that Frangueiro Vitor Baia who cost Portugal WC 2002. Coach: Jorge Jesus vs Mourinho again advantage SCP Jesus is a mch better motivator, and plays much more attractive football. Mourinho was just anti-football. As this season goes on and on, It becomes clear that Sporting 2015/16 is probably the strongest team in the history of modern Portuguese football (i.e. since 1982 roughly) barring injuries, suspensions , I can see SCP becoming League and Europa League Champions, and if they hold on the the majority of the team next season they can challenge for the CL and probably win it.
You are comparing a team that has played half a season with a team that won the Liga, Intercontinental Cup and Champions League? Keep this crap in the troll thread.
So there you have it. Z's big goal is to be PORTO from 2004....wow Unfortunately they will not win Liga Europa as they are BRUTAL in Europe. Champions League contenders next year? LMAO I'm glad that's on record, funniest thing ever.
at Jornada 22 Sporting CP 2015/16 17 V 4 E 1D GM: 47 GS:14 GD: 33 55 points FC Porto 2002/2003 18 V 3E 1D GM: 48 GS: 19 GD: 29 57 points FC Porto 2003/2004 17V 5E 0D GM: 48 GS: 14 GD: 34 56 points Similar numbers, against better competition. Sporting 2001/2002 (Last SCP Campeao) at 22 Jornada 14 V - 5 E- 3 D 50 GM 18 GS 47 points
Benfica 2016 is prob a better comparasion to Porto 2004 considering they're playing in the same tournaments
Imagine Benfica wins in a few weeks and wins the league. Then again, you'll be out of the Europa in a few weeks time, so that's all you'll have
You already lost four games and there has never been a Campeao who lost so many classicos Sporting is the superior team in every part of the field except strikers.
