Pretty sure as a result of this new story Portugal has lost its status as a developed country.

They contacted a witch doctor and lost 4-0? Doesn't seem like a very good one.

Fruitful business, mind. How does one go about becoming a doctor of the witch?

A case of supernatural doping. That's a first... I wonder how will FIFA cope., it's an interesting topic of discussion. Mandatory warding spells on stadiums is an idea worth discussing. Maybe the 4th official should double as an exorcist. It's an interesting topic of discussion. Somebody phone van Basten and tell him to include something about this in his new rules manifesto.

It's funny because people don't get the meaning behind the "witchcraft" references. Some people know and pretend they don't.

Benfica, as has been discovered recently, has been using codenames for many of its illegal activities, such as "priests" for refs and such. In this case, the +150k e paid to the witch doctor has some emails connected and it's nothing but a cover or nickname for money laundry and possibly other more serious activities. Do people really think a club would pay a witchdoctor 150k in Guinea-Bissau?

Benfica controls the press for years, they have sick corrupt individuals in all fields of politics. In a civilised country they would be sent to the regional divisions and a bunch of them to jail.

An email by Benfica president asking "what happened?" to the witchdoctor was intercepted, it dates right after the 4-0 defeat against Dortmund. :lol:

I hope every story that is being told out there to be lies, really. I would be really upset if I discovered that my team, who have been far superior in the last 3/4 seasons than its rivals(due to some problems in those rivals, mainly), were being corrupting Portuguese football. Honestly I'm a bit disconnected on the content of the e-mails but if there exist any kind of corruption, they are really dumb to communicate by e-mail.

If the rumours are truth, for the best of portuguese football, i hope the team to be strongly penalized, but until something solid is found out, I think it's unfair to make accusations.

Question should be (if they actually believe in any of this nonsense), why aren't Porto getting their own witch doctor?

People in Porto management don't believe in witch doctors (well, I'm guessing/hoping they don't, though at least one has claimed to do "work" for Porto in the past), this accusation is one of a mockery and sarcastic tone amidst far more serious accusations.

Curiously, it's so ludicrous that it seems to have picked up on the international press so if it helps bring more attention to the more serious stuff it has been a good move. This case has been going on for a while and no one had created a thread here until this last episode.

All allegations came from a hacking to Benfica servers. It's being investigated by our justice.

Rwanda banned witchcraft earlier this year, or late last year, after a striker did a random spell on a post and scored about 30 seconds later. Opposition went absolutely mental.

One of the most corrupt leagues in Europe. Which isn't surprising since the country itself is corrupt to the core.

I wonder what drugs they're smoking over at Porto because they are clearly batshit crazy.
Drugs probably provided by Benfica's President. Plenty of stories about that as well. Even the supposed witch doctor from Guinea Bissau is being investigated for drug trafficking.

We need Benfica to introduce that witch doctor to Mourinho. We need all the help we can get.

When Chicharito was here and prayed before games we had God on our side and we didn't do too badly.

But will this be an option on Football Manager 2018?...
Boardroom request: (Manager) Any chance of bringing in a witch doctor?
(Board) No, it's not within our budget (wait, what the feck do you want one of those for anyway?)
(Manager) But I can see us behind left behind by our rivals if this doesn't happen..
(Board) Get that fecker on the phone!

:D Add-on DLC, "Witch doctor mode setting unlocked", pay daily every season (rate of payment increases season by season), helps win games by referees rewarding more fouls won, easy penalties and free kicks, injure opposing key players and affecting conditions of opposing players negatively.
