I'm a little torn about supporting Porto against Manchester United (English vs. Portugese team) but I confess that I'm pretty happy that they stumbled and gave up two more goals at home to Porto.
Porto looked superb for most of the game. To give Man U their due, they did improve and play much better in the second half than the first. Of course, their first -half performance was woeful.
That said, a single goal at Porto in two weeks time will win it for them. Conversely, a single goal by Porto will mean that they will need two goals in Porto to win the match (because of the away goals rule). So they have a hard row to hoe here.
I have to look at this more from the point of view of a Liverpool supporter than an England partisan. Man U having problems is good for Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
Of course, tomorrow Liverpool still have to face Chelsea.
