Sudamericana: Fluminense Falls One Goal Short from the Title
Fluminense and LDU played the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana final. After last week’s 5-1, very few challenged the fact that the title was staying in Ecuador – except the Fluminense fans. And not just because they’re fans. Fluminense has been delivering the most breath taking performances at the end of the Brazilian season, [...]

Reasons to Watch the Final of Copa Sudamericana
Tonight, the first leg for the final of Copa Sudamericana takes place in Quito, Ecuador. And people have been talking very little about it. I’m not a big fan of the competition, and I understand the many problems that it has. But, the final involving Fluminense from Brazil and LDu from Quito deserves to be [...]
Brasileiro: 2 Rounds Left; 4 Clubs Still Can Win It
When Palmeiras lost for Gremio on Wednesday, it seemed only Sao Paulo and Flamengo still fought for the title, right? Wrong! The two sides dropped important points, and Inter won. The result? 4 teams still have the chance to lift the title on December 6th.

A Day of Fury in Brazilian Football

Sudamericana: Only One Brazilian Remains
Copa Sudamericana reached the semifinals, two Brazilian clubs had the chance to be in the final 4. However, only Fluminense did so. Flu visited Universidad de Chile and one more time relied on Fred. The ex-Lyon seems to be playing for all the matches he did nothing since the beginning of the year. Fred scored [...]
Sudamericana: Bad Start for Brazil in the Quarter-finals
The two Brazilian clubs still in the Copa Sudamericana did not start well the quarter-finals of Copa Sudamericana. Botafogo and Fluminense will have a lot of work if they plan to advance to the semis. Botafogo visited Cerro Porteno in Paraguay and lost 2-1. Reinaldo scored for Bota, but if the club from Rio wants [...]
