Portuguese League soccer is back this weekend, and Benfica plays an important game at Guimarães.

But last weekend Benfica had a Portugal Cup game against Division II Feirense, at Stadium Luz. Benfica won 1 to 0, but it was a very sorry exhibition, much like we have been seeing all season long since Camacho arrived.

Cardozo scored the game winner in the beginning of the second half, in a game in which Feirense clearly deserved to tie. I am getting very tired of hearing Camacho whine about the team. After all he is the coach, isn´t he? I don´t know about this game, since ite wasn´t on TV, but two weeks ago you could hardly tell Camacho was on the bench, such was the silence.

The only bright spot for Benfica was veteran Rui Costa, who still sets a great example for all the other players, and even for Camacho. Both Cardozo and Adu played the second have of the game, after starting in the bench. Di Maria and Maxi were the sacrificed players. Both of them, by the way, have been getting more playing time then they actually deserve. Adu was close to scoring at the 85 minute mark, but it was the only scoring chance for Benfica after Cardozo´s goal.

This weekend Benfica plays at Guimarães, in a fight for second place. If Benfica doesn´t win this one I just hope Camacho packs up and leaves. With the team he has, and the money he makes each month, Benfica should be up next to Porto, and not fighting for a second place spot with a team that played in the Second Division last season.
