Just got home from the Sporting Lisbon (portugal) vs New England Revolution game...
Wow.
What a bunch of cheapshot artists, diving bastards and all around maggots Sporting Lisbon is. They tried the dive about 8-10 times early in the game, and the ref was pretty smart, and didn't fall for it. So, they figure that the ref's going to let em play, and they turn into a bunch of thugs.
Before the game was over (refs ended the game before the final whistle), FOUR Sporting Lisbon players had been sent off, one of the coaches of Sporting threw a punch at the referee, and there was a near riot brewing in the parking lot (the police were FLYING in to make sure it didn't break out as I left.
The Revs won 2-1, but wow. Just wow.
