Here is a link to the A Bola article:

Quote from the magazine:

"the players prefer not to think that there are strange things in the Portuguese league."

(I used Google Translater to change the Portuguese into English. :P)

Don't get me wrong, I understand Falcao, and I'm not blaming him, not at all! I really like him as a players and as a person, I just don't like Porto and here in Portugal we all know them really well! This week was been insane, with Porto's players talking about 'strange things'. This is what I meant when I said what I said http://bleacherreport.com/articles/330214-fc-porto-leaked-phone-taps-proof-major-corruption-scandal
Well, as you may know Porto and Benfica are rivals and Porto hate Benfica (I don't know why though) and this year Porto is 3rd and Benfica 1st/2nd so imagine!

I hope you understand what I meant to say! But really, don't get me wrong, I really like Falcao, he's a great player and I'm happy for him and he seems to be a very intelligent and sweet person. I'm sorry for saying this things but the last week is just being stupid! Porto is a synonym of corruption and that kind of things just make me lol! But I do hope Falcao does a great season!

Oh, no, you're OK, I understand what you meant. :)
Actually, it is great to have someone there in Portugal who knows what is going on. If I could I would fly there twice a year...I know someone who works in a hotel in Lisbon and is a card-carrying Benfica supporter. He knows everything...LOL...but when we were there last May he didn't say anything about any corruption...I know that Porto has been fined for match-fixing in the past. You would think they would learn from it! I knew Porto and Benfica were rivals but I thought it was somewhat 'friendly'...I know how sweet and kind Portuguese people are and I figured that was why the rivalry was not all intense like in Italy or Holland and elsewhere where ppl kill each other...:(

Coming from Colombia where fans kill players for a bad game and players kill fans who threaten them, I guess Falcao should know about this kind of stuff. He is very religious, and a very nice guy, but he is also very tough...hard as nails. :)
