"Red Hopes", 18 Days Later

Just as recently as July 6th we all heard from Benfica's propaganda machine that Bruno Costa, Tiago Gomes, João Coimbra, Canales, Bijou, etc were all full of promisse and that their Training Ground and Seixal would produce stars and so forth but it didn't take much longer than 2 weeks before the charade has bitten the dust.

P.S. I'd like to publicly congratulate my friend Israel on becoming Outdoor Futsal Champion yesterday. Get a haircut, you're no longer the clean-cut kid I met in Olival Basto years ago.
