benfica 

n. Name of Portugal's, Europe's and the World's biggest club. According to the Guiness Book of World Records:

"The most widely supported football club is Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Portugal, which has 160,398 paid-up members. The record was acknowledged on 9 November 2006 during the celebrations for Guinness World Records Day.

The team, better known as just Benfica or, by fans, SLB, has supporters in most municipalities of Portugal ­ and in cities throughout the world, namely Andorra, Angola, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cape Verde, England, France, Germany, Guinea-Bissau, Luxembourg, Macao, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States."

It it often said that Benfica is bigger than the country in which it was born - and not without cause.

Because of its size, illustrious history and enduring popularity at home and abroad, Benfica is also the most hated, vilified and secretly envied institution in Portugal.

SporesBoa e Benfica 

A football club in Portugal, known for being the club of the fascist regime in Portugal, that ended in 1974. They are linked to all kind of mafia, they have an ex-president in prison, the current president is known for drug and weapons traffic, and has been convicted in a civil court for THEFT!

Since then, they lost the leadership to another club. Thanks to their connections to the government, media, justice, etc they manage to pass the idea that they only loose because the competition is corrupt.

In 2004/05 they managed to win a league by controlling referees, and "friends" in high positions in the league administration. They did it again in 2009/10. Of course, when playing the Champions League, they only show how ridiculous they are as a team, loosing all away games, scoring ZERO goals.

They're corrupt and a total joke. Please check their website, at vermelhices.com

SporesBoa e Benfica, also know as Benfica, ae linked to all kind of mafia, they have an ex-president in prison, the current president is known for drug and weapons traffic, and has been convicted in a civil court for THEFT! They already tried to get FC Porto out of UEFA competitions but lost. This process was a shameful disgrace, because it was proved that they had no case, and furthermore, they gave an impression of being completely incompetent.
