Brazil owns futsal again.

Yesterday, the futsal World Cup title went back to it’s home. Brazil beat long time rivals Spain on penalties after a 2 – 2 tie. Spain took the title on the past 2 World Cups so it was about time Brazil stepped up to bring the title back to it’s hood! Not only that but [...]

Video of Kaka’s SKY commercial.

It seems like people coming to the blog are really craving more Kaká news, photos and videos. So today I found this Kaka commercial. Quite funny.

Basile leaves Argentina.

Basile is out. Argentina is trying to find someone to fix Basile’s World Cup Qualifiers mess. The ex-boss quit after the loss to Chile. Argentina only won one match, tied four and lost one. So things are not really jolly sunshiny for los hermanos even though they hold the third spot on the qualifiers.
Who’s next? [...]

Time to go home Dunga.

It was too good to be true. Truth be told (for the 100th time): Dunga is not a good boss, not even close to it. Brazil tied 0-0 today with Colombia, at home, in Maracanã. It is the 3rd consecutive home match that ends up in frustration for us, Brazilians. When things are fine, like [...]

Good idea to ban the WAGs?

I read an interesting article today at The Sun (i know! The Sun!). Steven Howard talking about the WAGs and England’s situation back in the 2006 World Cup. Read full article here.
As ever, no expense was spared to make the players and their WAGs feel at home.
Had England’s footballers matched this conspicuous consumption with equally [...]

Kaká leaves his footmark in Maracanã.

He is only 26. But Kaká has joined football stars like Pelé, Zico, Ronaldo, Marta and many other great ones. He has left a footmark in Maracanã’s hall of fame. Well done. Well deserved.

Ah… Brazil !!!

It feels good to see Brazil back. Today’s match against Venezuela for the World Cup Qualifiers brought a squad who gave fans confidence and peace of mind. Brazil easily won 4 x 0 killing all talk that the Venezuelans were changing history (Brazil lost its first match ever to the Venezuela in Boston this past [...]

WC Qualifiers Europe – Katsoyranis and Gourcuff scored amazing goals.

I guess Raymond Domenech is keeping his job a little longer. France tied 2×2 with Romania thanks to Ribery and the young Gourcuff. Greece got the job well done with a glorious goal from Katsoyranis (Roberto Carlos style). Here are the goals:

Cristiano Ronaldo Fashion: CR7

Holy canoodles!!! Today I heard from The Offside that C. Ronaldo opened a new fashion store: CR7. Now I’m not sure how many guys out there would love to wear his men purses, giant buckle belts and scream CR7 everyhwere they go… I guess there’s taste for everything in this world. Oh! And guess what? [...]
