A Team of Midgets!
This is the side known as “Giants of the North”, put together by the club Tuna Luso. Last night, before the Remo-Flamengo match, the Giants took on the U-13 squad of Remo. The number 11 is known is Vagner Love.
Ronaldo: Prostitution, Drinks and Weight
The tale of decadence which the life of Ronaldo has become does not stop. It’s all over the Brazilian press the newest adventure of the forward. And probably you read somewhere. On Thursday, Corinthians’ players had the day off in Presidente Prudente, Sao Paulo. They had to be back to the hotel by 11 pm. [...]
Today’s Shorties: Hiddink, Maradona, La Furia and more.
A lot of good stuff happened today.
Guus Hiddink was announced as Chelsea’s manager. Well done Blues, the fella is a jolly good manager. And yes, almost forgot: he is still Russia’s manager, as well.
Argentina won the friendly against France, 2×0. Maradona keeps the victory coming, he has not yet lost a single match while [...]
Brazil 2 - 0 Italy: In Great Fashion…
Ok, you may not like him, like me, but Dunga deserves credit for one thing: whenever he finds himself under heavy pressure, he manages to get that one victory that makes any argument against him sound like cries of jealousy. With the ghost of Felipao hunting the national team, Dunga could’ve made no better. The [...]
Video: Watch the goals Brazil vs. Italy
Italy zero. Brazil two. Two nice, nice goals. Dunga got it right today, or was it just player magic? Here are the goals.
Elano - Brazil 1 - 0 Italy
Robinho - Brazil 2 - 0 Italy
Dunga calls in the squad to play against Italy.
Brazil will face Italy on February 10th, on a friendly match in London. This is coach Dunga’s first match of the year and he better do some nice job since he’s been getting more and more criticized by his lack of experience and tactic notion. Brazil remains pretty much the same from last year except [...]
See the goals. Video of Brazil vs. Portugal
Luis Fabiano, Fabuloso! goal #1. Brazil vs. Portugal.
Brazil 6. Portugal 2. Sweet like chocolate!
What a nice one! Brazil did a lot of samba on top of Cristiano Ronaldo and co. The match was easy, beautiful and fun. I could really not ask for more. Even though Brazil started taking one in, sometimes getting hit means weaking up. And that was exactly what happened today in Bezerrão. Luis Fabiano, [...]
Read. Maradona and the Scotland friendly.
Chick Young’s post on the friendly between Maradona — ops sorry — Argentina and Scotland on November 19th is a nice read. I have to say I especially like this part:
“Not that [ Maradona ] was the greatest that ever breathed. That was Pele and if you don’t accept that don’t even try to enter [...]
Brazil 0 - Venezuela 2. Wake up call?
Yes, this is the first time Brazil loses a match to South American rival Venezuela. In the Gillete Stadium in Boston, on a game that lacked creativity, passion and good sense, Brazil watched a very much alive and skillful Venezuela dominate the entire 90 minutes. Brazil’s coach, Dunga, started the friendly with an uncommon formation: [...]
