To start talking about this match, it is mandatory to forget that it celebrated the 50th anniversary of Brazil’s first World Cup. In the 58 final, Brazil had Zito, Vavá, Didi, Garrincha, Nilton Santos besides a youngster named Pelé. In 08, Brazil sent to the pit Richarlysson, Josué, Júlio Baptista, Gilberto Silva and […]

This is not just a regular friendly. The match between Brazil and Sweden, in London on March 26, will be a celebration of the 50 years that has passed since Brazil won its first World Cup. On that day, the Canarinhos played Sweden and won to lift the trophy. Dunga called up 22 players, and, […]

Alright, the match was ok. Brazil did the job, scored a goal, took home the victory (1-0) in Dublin. But playing a squad like Republic of Ireland’s (one who barely has a coach and lacks “skillful skills”) should be a chance to score lots of goals. Robinho was the one to shine, with a beautiful […]

England’s 2-1 victory on the friendly against Swizerland was, indeed, a happy start for Italian boss Fabio Capello.

Brazilian boss, Dunga, is going to have to cross two very good players out of his roster, which will face Ireland this Wednesday in Dublin. Kaka and Alexandre Pato are out due to injuries. Kaka has a knee problem and Pato twisted his left ankle on the match against Fiorentina. Defender Lucio is also injured […]

It is really a dramatic end. The novel has come to an end and Mourinho has left the FA with no option but moving on. Tough breakup. The former Chelsea boss is probably going to face a new club challenge and it seems as working for an international squad in not really his thing. Who […]

When I was around 12 years old I used to dream I would be the best player in the world and share the pitch with the top players out there (ok, I must admit I still have that dream). Now I can say that I wish I was Marta. Not only does she have blinding […]

Blinding! Beckham will start against Austria tomorrow. The news has been causing a lot of discussion and fuss about his fitness and the reason why McClaren has decided to put him in. Truth is, some of us just can’t get enough of him (either for his football or his looks). After a 4 game absence, […]
