[edit] Continental Honours by Liga Players

I have some issues with this list.

Either you include the players when they were playing for the clubs or you don't. You can not do one for some players and the other for others.

For example you include Anderson Polga but when we won the world cup he was not playing for Sporting. Also you include several Figo's titles that he won many years after leaving Sporting.

But when you talk about players included in the "FIFA World Cup All-Star Team" you only mention Ricardo. And forget Maniche, Ricardo Carvalho and Figo, that played in Portugal.

The same for Euro 2004 (Figo, Maniche, Carvalho, Ronaldo and Seitaridis), Euro 2000 (Figo and Nuno Gomes) and Euro 1996 (Rui Costa, Fernando Couto and Poborsky).

As I said... either we consider the awards players won while playing for the Portuguese teams or we consider all of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.139.184 (talk) 10:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] different numbers for Liedson's total goals

Different sources give different numbers for Liedson's total goals: www.record.pt 24, www.abola.pt 25, www.sporting.pt 26. If someone knows what the right number is, please update accordingly. --Jcmo 22:17, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

According to the official reports (www.lfpf.pt) he scored 25 goals.

[edit] article name

As the name changed again, the article must be renamed, as the "SuperLiga" was part of the sponsoring deal with Galp. However, I'm not particullary fond of renaming to Liga Betandwin.com (as no other leagues are named according to their sponsors: see FA Premier League (currently named Barclays Premiership) or Eredivisie (Holland Casino Eredivisie). So, what should be the name of the article? Primeira Liga (My favourite choice)? Portuguese football first division? I Liga ? wS; 23:32, 18 August 2005 (UTC)


  • The name Superliga is maintained. The sponsor changed but now the name Superliga is the equivalent to the English Premier League. Numericals were abolished from the professional competitions in order to differentiate them from the amateur ones. So I Liga or I Divisão would be incorrect. So if one does not want to use the sponsored name (like you and me...) one continues to say Superliga. In an official statement the Portuguese Football Federation says "Betandwin International (BAT) Limited (...) will assume the condition of Institutional Sponsor of the Super Liga". Hapy to have clarified. --Gameiro 03:26, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
  • That settles it, then. Thanks. wS; 04:11, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Benfica points

How can Benfica in 1935/36 and 1936/37 can have 34 points if there were only 14 rounds and a victory was awarded 2 points? 14x2 = 28 = the max possible...--Serte 15:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

I propose the merging of the List of champions with the Top Scorers. There are too many long lists/tables. Or move some of those detailed tables to another link. Ordep 22:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Records section

I think it's missing a records section (eg. top appearances and goals, also some unbeaten records). Unfortunately i can't find a site with this records, if anyone knows one, do tell. Ordep 03:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finances

Three clubs have won 71 of 73 titles, wow! Makes me wish there was a UEFA coefficient for parity. I saw the massive difference in attendance between #3 & #4, does anyone know the difference in revenue & payroll among the various clubs? How much of an uphill struggle is it for the other clubs to compete? Kendanielone 17:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
