To be truthful, the big reason was the Big Man himself, providing arguably the best performance in a finals tournament alongside Maradona's in 1986...

@SteelShirt99 2 facts for you: (1) He is the second forward in all of the Liga that recovers most balls and (2) He has the same number of assists as Messi (7)... he is just become a team player, which is actually why he is less spectacular in the game, he just takes less risks in dribbling... it'...

@acedabcdef You're right there, but what about being 2nd with Leiria (when he left for Porto), winning back to back UEFA competitions with Porto, beating all point records in Portugal, winning a Champions League to be the only team to stop Barca from winning 3 straight Champions with a bunch of o...

He just loved playing with Celi (never turned him down... they had a personal spat late in their lives) it just seems unbelievably relaxed and happy ABM (what a pity so few conductors did him justice!) and the way Celi just seems to defer to him is also mesmerizing, Celi was as big a musical lege...

He was taught "that the law was accessible to all"...quite a striking caricature of man's anxiety to the state's paternalism!

Always the fence issue... most people come in by plane in an airport!

Why does it always take Celibidache to come up and "shed light" over the structural elements of any composer... it has really been a pain to persistently listen to Michelangeli extra-terrestial sense of time and sound colour be destroyed by bad conductors! Best match I have heard in music yet!

The pedestrian"ism" of the Swedish politicians arguments are an anthem to "sunk cost" rationale that the whole political class in Europe embraces!

He's good and he will have a good chance at winning! He has to change his "snotty" tone, he's in fighting mode right now (he is a bit too much of an intellectual right now) so that makes sense... but his reconversion requires a lot of management. It will be refreshing if Obama goes on to smear th...

This is a "sexed up" and highly marginal characterization of History with a pathetic attempt to bring up only the fringes of decadence within Britain much to the liking of "post-modern" lefty-loosy... the notion that eugenism was a direct export is such a poor vision of human autonomy. Eugenism h...

The good thing about the "musical intelligentsia" is it can take anything as long as it sounds unconventionally reinvented... Innovation for the sake of deafness! What cash cows are these barrock musical decorators... I love Savall, he brings all the aspect of fun and intellectual literacy to mus...

The conservative party are "on the dark ages of policy" and "invest your way out of the recession"! My God! What an utterly busted notion of policy!

@paradoxicus Na verdade não é tanto atacada quanto snobada. Aquilo que era um movimento inovador e aberto (interpretação barroca) hoje em dia é um "bandwagon" de surdos e desafinados que se dedicam à intolerância estílistica. Richter é só "o" maestro de Bach e também um dos maiores organistas. O ...

Además, otro punto importante, Bruckner era un tio que escribia tan horizontalmente... menudo delicia las melodias rapiditas de Karayan en Bruckner, que suerte que sonen como Lady Gaga, más facil para las cabezitas sordas... asi podemo distribuir de la melosidad de canzoneta y no tener el enfado ...

This is a STUDENT ORCHESTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good one though be it, it is simply riveting!

Fame fans... not much different from fundamentalists!

The lengths some people go to associate visual and personal cliches to make them "artistical realities"... where is the coldness in this man, he loves the composer, he takes all the lengths to play an orchestra with his piano!!! That takes utter love, but it is for his unhuman crystalline sound h...

@sikajaperkele He is not an arrogant... as a Portuguese citizen, I can assure he is just clueless... utterly clueless!

@Christuserloeser I couldn't agree, it comes from that perspective that children should only do children's things when in fact what they is keen on learning anything challenging... The single major change in History has been life expectancy and that has made adults need to rationalize that kids t...

The funny thing about this is in fact starting that early an instrument does not make much of a difference, the ear is important but not the mechanic! Michelangeli was arguably the most capable musician and pianist, and his main instrumental learning was between 6 and 12...

Grande Peseiro, melhor treinador que passou no Sporting desde o grande Robson... uma pena que o meu clube seja um "country club" de betinhos que tenha medo de forcados e homens com força... o Sporting de 2005 jogava o melhor futebol que me lembre, uma troca de bola impossível de controlar, labiri...

@tjohn1986 That's funny you say that, because he happens to be from the only country where they hold the bulls by the horns!!! (lookup Forcados ) I'm not sure if he can, but I'm sure his sister will !

Zizou's best game I can recall against probably the toughest defensive midfield I can recall... Portugal had stifled England and Germany... that month Vidigal, Bento and Costinha were impossible to surpass... in this France only did something because of Zidane, and for me this was the game were o...

As usual brilliant! Just a little irony: the whole video is set to "group coordinated dancing", I rather strange of being "born this way"!

There is a philosophical way of looking at public schooling politics.

The theory goes like this: the future is for 'doers' not 'thinkers'. In fact, too much knowledge and thinking leads to unhealthy hesitance & inactivity. More practically, it would preclude a high percentage of jobs currently c...

My god: (1)urgent optimism (how not to handle frustration, i.e., leaving the computer), (2)social fabric (of course, there is a clear benefit from playing in a room vs. developing physical skills, (3)blissful productivity: 21 hours at repetitive activities will make great "third grade bank clerks...
