As I say that they score 2 late goals. 3-1 to Porto.

Just looking there, Benfica have a pretty easy run in with 3 home games and only 2 away one of which on the 12th May is at Porto and looking at their run in only Sporting look capable of taking points of them next sunday as they generally are to strong for Maritimo who usually are decent at home

Hopefully they do slip up before the second last weekend.
One of them will probably lose the league despite being undefeated. |

Can anyone tell me, is the Waregem v Anderlecht match tonight the last game of the season and is it for the automatic champions league spot/championship?
Also just who the feck has qualified for the europa league spots in that league? Was looking on soccerway there at todays match's and cant work out who is playing for what as it has Gent (finished 12th) and Charleroi(11) down as playing for a europa league spot despite finishing well down the table. The play off (1) looks to have the top 6 from the regular season but if that is correct then Club Brugge(finished 4th) are missing out on a play off for a europa league spot all together - fukin mad league

A playoff phase is then played from March to May. The point system in the playoffs is the same as during the regular season, except that each team starts with half of the points they won in the regular season, rounded up to the nearest integer. The points gained by rounding are deducted in the case of a tie. The top 6 teams from the regular season enter the playoffs 1, with the first-placed team winning the championship of Belgium. Each team plays their opponents twice, and the teams are ranked by points, points from rounding, wins, etc. as in the regular season. Teams ranked 7 to 14 after the regular season enter the playoffs 2, with teams ranked 7th, 9th, 12th and 14th entering the group A and teams ranked 8th, 10th, 11th and 13th entering the group B. In each group, each team plays each of its 3 opponents twice. The winner of each group plays the final game in two legs, to determine the winner of the playoffs 2. The winner of the playoffs 2 then plays a home and away game against either the fourth-placed or fifth-placed team from the playoffs 1 for the final Europa League ticket, with the opponent depending on the fact if the Belgian Cup winner ended in the top four of the playoff 1 or not. Teams ranked 15th and 16th after the regular season enter the relegation playoff. It consists of 5 games between the 2 teams. The 15th-placed team starts the playoffs with 3 points whereas the 16th-placed team starts from zero. The loser of the relegation playoff is relegated to the second division. The winner of that playoff enters the Belgian Second Division Final Round with 3 teams from the second division. The winner of this Final Round plays in the First Division the season thereafter. Matches are usually played on Saturdays at 20.00. Some matchdays are played on Wednesdays, however. Furthermore, in recent years, some games are played either on Fridays or during the weekend at different times (e.g. Saturday at 18.00 or Sunday at 13.00 or 20.00), as decided by the owner of television rights. Each team playing the Pro League must have been granted the Belgian professional football license guaranteeing the club has no excessive debts, has a secure stadium, etc. This was introduced in season 2001-02 to decrease the number of teams in the division and ensure a higher level of professionalism in the clubs playing in the top flight of Belgian football. Originally, clubs that could not get the license were supposed not to be replaced (and sent to the third division). However, it is still not effective as, for example, KSK Beveren finished 18th (last) in 2001-2002 but were saved as KSC Eendracht Aalst (17th) and RWD Molenbeek (10th) were refused their license. |

Didnt realise they had already been relegated, knew about the pitch invation and was watching their game there for the craic to see would much happen but the link has gone down
Seen the legend that is Trianos Dellas was put in charge 2 weeks ago, wonder if he'll get another legend - Vas Borbokis in as well to assist him would happily take that dream team in charge at the blades next season

I was thinking the same thing, but this goal deserves to win the title... |

That is an incredible goal. It's really hard to look past them now. It would be incredible if they both managed to avoid defeat for the entire season though (albeit I'd prefer a Benfica win for the finality of it..... were Porto to win that game but lose the title, they could argue about it, even though the argument would lack validity).

Club Brugge 1 up on Anderlecht, if it stays like that and S.Leige can beat Waregem later theyre back within 3 ponts of Waregem with 4 to play, Liege within 2 and Anderlecht within 1.
Could be the best ending to any league in europe this year if that pans out

Fuking Brugge defender just brought down an Anderlecht striker in the 92min, looked outside but a penalty was given, and red card. Been a cracking last 20mins and the Anderlecht lads preceeds to miss the penalty
C'mon Standard Leige now to make this interesting Loving this idea of play offs to decide the champions if the end of this game that I seen is anything to go by

bollixin Benfica scored in the 72nd min tonight to win again, had been keeping an eye on it hoping Maritimo would hold out for the draw but started watching tv and forgot about it
Also meant to say Liege won yesterday so the play off table looks like this with 4 games to go P W D L F A Pts Waregem 6 2 2 2 11 11 40 A'lecht 6 1 2 3 7 7 39 S.Liege 6 4 1 1 11 7 38 Brugges 6 3 1 2 12 9 37 Genk 6 2 2 2 5 8 36
