LISBON - Estádio José Alvalade (50,049)

[cianobuckley]

Great stadium pity its rarely filled. Why is that? You cant blame the quality of the league just look at Celtic and Rangers!

[willo]

8/10 nice stadium though the colofurl seats are not very appealing to me

La Luz is much better

6.5/10

[cianobuckley]

yeah nice ground but i still think the dragao and da luz are better. is it true there is only a short distance between both the alvalade and da luz?

He was expressing an opinion. Does spelling or grammar really matter that much? Don't be such a pedant.

No. It wasn't "all". You lashed out petulantly at the bloke. If an altruistic desire to inform and educate had been your sole intention, you wouldn't have tiresomely added: Nor would you have written, "if u don´t know just don´t say anything. djesus".

There are plenty on this board for whom English is not a first language and it would be excessively dull if, like you, every time they made a mistake a natural English speaker corrected them in an irritable manner.

I would guess that - just like Liverpool and Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal, and Manchester United and Manchester City - Sporting and Benfica never play at home on the same day.

Fair enough and understandable. But, in future, try correcting / informing people without becoming so irritable about it. Americans / British / Aussies / South Africans don't make these linguistic mistakes deliberately to antagonize you. So you shouldn't go out of your way to antagonize them.

You have to understand that after regaining our independence from Spain back in 1640, any spanish word or phrase that influences our national language - portuguese, is immediately corrected. 365 years are not enough to wipe out our differences.

People should be more careful when they refer to names (whatever the nationality). Portuguese is portuguese, not spanish!!!!
