Brazil 1 – 0 Estonia: As Bad as It Can Get
While Brazilian clubs struggle to pocket any money, CBF made US$ 2 million to take the Brazilian squad to Estonia, as a “celebration for the 100th anniversary of the first football match in the country”. And if That was to be a celebration, it felt more boring than Monday morning work meeting.
The pitch was small, [...]
Dunga Announces the Players to Take on Estonia
As expected, the call reveals a few things: Dunga no longer believes in Ronaldinho Gaucho. Unless he delivers a phenomenal season with Milan, he is out of the cup. Kleber really lost credibility as left-back, and after many chances he will not be in the cup. Pato keeps losing his chances, but I believe he [...]
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, [...]
