Boavista venceu no Restelo

Belenenses 0 - 2 Boavista

O Boavista foi vencer o Belenenses ao Restelo, infligindo a primeira derrota ao Belenenses e conseguindo coleccionar a segunda vitória após os 3-0 em casa ao Benfica.

Um golo logo no início do jogo por Linz (o austríaco soma e segue) a aproveitar uma falha da defesa da casa (Sousa) abriu caminho para a vitória dos axadrezados num jogo que esteve longe de ser um grande espectáculo. Futebol de fraca qualidade, publico em muito pequeno número e vencedor encontrado aos 36' quando num contra-ataque os homens do Bessa chegaram ao 0-2. Linz outra vez na jogada mas desta vez para assitir José Manuel que não perdoou.

O Belenenses com as substituições operadas procurou responder e atacou a baliza de William mas não teve engenho de chegar ao golo nas poucas oportiunidades conseguidas, gerindo o Boavista o resultado e o tempo de jogo.

O árbitro não teve problemas graves para resolver.

Jornada 5 começa com a Naval a salvar o barco à Beira-Mar

Naval 2 - 1 Beira Mar

Dois golos nos descontos... dão vitória aos locais

O jogo que inaugurou a jornada 5 da Liga portuguesa teve um final à Hitchcock e quando os adeptos aveirenses, que festejaram a inauguração do marcador aos 86', sofreram com o empate aos 90+3' estavam longe de imaginar que nem um ponto levariam da Figueira da Foz.

Um segundo golo de Nei aos 90+5' deu ao jogo um final inesperado, tornando o avançado da Naval no herói do jogo e colocando a equipa da Figueira da Foz no topo da tabela classificativa (atrás do Porto).

Nem se pode dizer que a vitória da Naval não se ajuste dado que foi a equipa que disfrutou de melhores oportunidades, mas Inácio ainda estará incrédulo como a sua equipa não conseguiu nem sequer um ponto quando avançou no marcador aos 86' num remate forte de fora da área de André Leão que havia entrado para jogar o último quarto de hora.

Árbitro: Rui Costa

NAVAL - Taborda; Mário Sérgio, Paulão, Fernando (Léo Guerra 87') e China; Gilmar, Orestes e Pedro Santos (Saulo 63') ; Fajardo (Tony 75'), Nei e Lito.

BEIRA-MAR - Danrlei; Jorge Vidigal, Jorge Silva (Marco Couto 78'), Buba e Tininho; Emerson, Luciano Ratinho (André Leão 77') e Diakité; Wegno, Jardel (Vasco Matos 65') e Rui Lima.

Golos: 0-1 André Leão 86', 1-1 Nei 90+3' e 2-1 Nei 90+5

Disciplina:
59' Cartão Amarelo para Jorge Vidigal (Beira-Mar), por demorar muito para repor a bola em jogo.
69' Cartão Amarelo para Paulão (Naval).
87' Cartão Amarelo para Léo Guerra (Naval), por falta sobre o guarda-redes contrário

O não ter tempo

Deus me pede do tempo estreita conta!
É preciso dar conta a Deus do tempo;
mas, quem gastou, sem conta, tanto tempo,
Como dará sem tempo tanta conta?

Para fazer a tempo a minha conta,
dado me foi, por conta, muito tempo:
mas não cuidei na conta e foi-se o tempo...
Eis-me agora sem tempo, eis-me sem conta!

Ó vós que tendes tempo sem ter conta,
não o gasteis sem conta em passatempo:
cuidai, enquanto é tempo, em terdes conta.

Pois, se quem isto conta do seu tempo
houvesse feito a tempo apreço e conta,
não chorava sem conta o não ter tempo.

Círculo Vicioso - Machado de Assis

Bailando no ar, gemia inquieto vaga-lume:
"Quem me dera que fosse aquela loura estrela,
Que arde no eterno azul, como uma eterna vela!"
Mas a estrela, fitando a lua, com ciúme:

"Pudesse eu copiar o transparente lume,
Que, da grega coluna à gótica janela,
Contemplou, suspirosa, a fronte amada e bela"
Mas a lua, fitando o sol, com azedume:

"Mísera! tivesse eu aquela enorme, àquela
Claridade imortal, que toda a luz resume!"
Mas o sol, inclinando a rútila capela:

"Pesa-me esta brilhante auréola de nume...
Enfara-me esta azul e desmedida umbela...
Por que não nasci eu um simples vaga-lume?"

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (n. no Rio de Janeiro a 21 Jun 1839, m. Rio de Janeiro a 29 Set 1839).

Uefa cup : As maiores surpresas da ronda

As eliminações dos alemães do Hertha de Berlim e do Schalke 04 e dos franceses do Marseille foram as maiores surpresas da eliminatória da Taça Uefa:

OB (DEN) 1-0 Hertha (GET) [3-2 no agregado]
Mladá Boleslav (CZE) 4-2 Marseille (FRA) [4-3 no agregado]
Nancy (FRA) 3-1 Schalke (GER) [ 3-2 no agregado]

Impressionante foi a performance de Espanha (Osasuna, Celta, Sevilla e Español), com todas as equipas apuradas.

Por curiosidade, registe-se a eliminação do Armedia que a época passada surpreendeu o Porto na Liga dos Campeões pelo Español de Barcelona (3-5 no agregado).

O desfecho mais desnivelado verificou-se no Grasshoppers (SUI)- Åtvidaberg (SWE) com 5-0 hoje e 8-0 na soma dos dois jogos.

Uefa Cup : Braga passa e Nacional eliminado

Numa jornada europeia bastante negativa para as equipas portuguesas, o Braga (como se esperava) conseguiu a passagem à fase de grupos da Taça Uefa, mas fez tanta coisa para complicar a sua vida.

O Nacional da Madeira fez 30 minutos de boa categoria e criou quatro oportunidades de golo, mas cedo se percebeu que esta equipa romena (ao contrário do Braga em Verona, contra o Chievo) vinha jogar no campo todo e a eliminatória não se resolveu cedo por sorte da equipa da Madeira. Foi manifesta a dificuldade dos madeirenses em termos de unidades de ataque (Chilikov e Cássio na 2ª. parte foram quase nulidades) e depois no prolongamento os romenos resolveram a eliminatória com alguma facilidade, vencendo mesmo o jogo, beneficiando logo após o 1-1, da expulsão de Bruno Basto entrado na 2ª. parte.

Voltando ao jogo de Verona entre o Chievo e o Braga, a abordagem defensiva do jogo por parte dos bracarenses, o erro de Paul Jorge no 2º. golo italiano e a «burrice» de Nem já com amarelo a fazer uma falta por trás na grande área adversária o que equilibrou o número de jogadores ( 10-10 já que logo após o 2-0 o Chievo viu um jogador a receber vermelho directo) contribuiram para adiar a solução quase até ao extremo. Um golo de Wender no prolongamento decidiu a qualificação mas depois já com superioridade numérica (10-9) o Braga voltou a cometer erros inacreditáveis sendo Paulo Santos quem evitou mais problemas.

De qualquer modo temos o Braga na fase de grupos e o Nacional eliminado, desfecho que não surpreende, bem como a eliminação do Vitória de Setúbal que derrotado por 3-0 em casa foi obter a Heereveen um empate a zero.

Se a estes resultados juntarmos as derrotas do Porto (em Londres contra o Arsenal) e do Benfica (em casa frente ao Manchester United) para a Champions League, esta jornada para o futebol português foi bastante negativa atenuada pelo empate em Moscovo do Sporting e a referida qualificação do Braga (apesar da derrota).

Uma portuguesa da silva nas eleições da Venezuela

Venezuela Portuguesa da Silva Isquierdo, de 52 anos, advogada de profissão e mãe de três filhos, apoiada pelo «Movimiento Nuevo Orden Social» é candidata às eleições para a Presidência da Venezuela, do próximo dia 3 de Dezembro. Define-se como uma defensora dos direitos sociais e não renega a sua luso-ascendencia procurando dar a aconhecer ao país a comunidade portuguesa.

Aliás, Portugal está bem presente neste processo eleitoral. José Sócrates é também notícia ao aparecer em cartazes eleitorais com Hugo Chavez em que este pretende demonstrar a ultrapassagem do bloqueio.

Curiosidades matemáticas : o fantástico número 666

Sabia que:

1+2+3+4+567+89 = 666 ?

E que encontra o mesmo resultado fazendo:

123+456+78+9 = 666, pois é verdade!

E se fizer 9+87+6+543+2+1 ainda dá 666 ?

Agora é um pouco mais complicado mas vai passar a saber que a 47ª. potencia de 666 dá um número tal que a soma dos algarismos do resultado dá 666?

Pois é, na verdade o resultado é

5049969684420796753173148798405564772941516295265408
1881176326689365404466160330686530288898927188596702
97563286219594665904733945856

e a soma destes algarismos totaliza 666

E o incrível continua, não é que sucede o mesmo se fizer a 51ª potencia de 666 ?

Crianças - Rodrigues de Abreu

Somos duas crianças! E bem poucas
no mundo há como nós: pois, minto e mentes,
se te falo e me falas; e bem crentes
somos de nos magoar, abrindo as bocas...

Mas eu bem sinto, em teu olhar, as loucas
afeições, que me tens e também sentes,
em meu olhar, as proporções ingentes
do meu amor, que, em teu falar, há poucas!

Preza aos céus que isto sempre assim perdure:
que a voz engane no que o olhar revela;
que jures não amar, que eu também jure...

Mas que sempre, ao fitarmo-nos, ó bela,
penses: "Como ele mente" e que eu murmure:
"quanta mentira tem os lábios dela!".

Benedito Luís Rodrigues de Abreu (n. Capivari (SP) a 27 Set 1897; m. em Bauru (SP) a 24 Nov 1927)
