Video: Chaos and Violence After the Relegation of Coritiba

Bruno Romani — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:12:45 +0000

The firms and fans of Coritiba could not take the relegation at home and in the year of its centenary. They invaded the pitch and beat anyone on their way. There is a lot of information, some are rumors, about injured people. This is what I found:

- According to Folha de S. Paulo, 4 injured people;
-One police officer was shot outside the stadium;
-One of Fluminense’s security men broke an arm;
-Buses and a Shopping Center were thrashed;
-Rocks were thrown at the house of Cuca, Fluminense’s coach. He is from Curitiba and his wife and daughter live in the city.

The videos, in 3 parts:

My Opinion

Coritiba should be banned from national competitions for a few years. It was a matter of luck that no one died. And to spread violence because of a game is pure stupidity. It shows how low human beings can go.

Sao Paulo’s goalie closed the season with another goal. it was his 85th (87th, given that FIFA does not count 2 goals). This time, the victim was Sport.

The most amazing goal of Campeonato Brasileiro. Diego Souza from Palmeiras scored it against Atletico-MG

Worst Own Goal Ever

This guy is now retired and a magician. Not really. Poor Jurgen Sierens, Roeselare’s goalkeeper, let a stupid one in againts Anderlecht for the Belgian championship. It happens to all of us.

Imagine…

Video: Palmeiras and Sport Sharing Misery

Recently, Palmeiras and Sport played some thrilling and decisive matches, with one side side usually celebrating at the end. Sport eliminated Palmeiras from Copa do Brasil. Palmeiras eliminated Sport from Libertadores – and before that they battled in the group stage.

Last night in Sao Paulo, Palmeiras and Sport tied in 2 goals for the 35th round of Brasileirao. It would’ve been a great result for Sport in normal situations. And for Palmeiras, under regular circumstances, this would’ve not been that bad, given that Sport started with a 2-0. The result, however, was terrible for both sides.

With the draw, Sport is the first Brazilian club relegated to second division next year. And that’s bad enough, especially because the club played a great Libertadores this year.

For Palmeiras, getting 1 point at this stage of the tournament was catastrophic. This match was supposed to be easiest one of the 4 remaining ones. Getting one point means that that the club that had the title so close now sees it getting far away. The club won only 6 points in the last 8 matches. Sao Paulo and Flamengo now have the chance of getting more distant from Palmeiras.

And the two sides can both complain from the referee regarding Palmeira’s second goal. The referee blew the whistle to point an offside when Danilo received the ball. He wasn’t offside. When the linesman run to confirm the goal, the referee ignored his first whistle and, with some degree of shyness, confirmed the goal. The problem is that in the first whistle Sport players stopped playing. It is the first case in history where a referee did right by making a mistake, and made a mistake by doing it right. It’s all over the Brazilian press.

Besides the philosophy of the question, the fact is that after the final whistle (I’m sorry. I could not avoid it), the two teams felt defeat. And for the first time, the two will not be able to make fun of the other.

Video: Bicycle Kick Still Trendy in Brazil

It seems this generation that grew up playing FIFA/Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer and watching Nike commercials have total disregard for bicycle goals. But they forget how it’s not easy. And I love them. Last weekend, William from Avai did it. And he cried on the pitch after scoring it. He had reasons to do so. Watch the video below and wait:
