Brasileirão 2009: Flamengo at the gates of happiness!

The 37th (and penultimate) day of the Brazilian championship was held this Sunday at 17h, with all matches at the same time, this simultaneity undoubtedly increasing salt and the dramatic dimension of the event!
And the least we can say is that we had during our 90 minutes of palpitations and lot of emotions!

The fight for the title of Campeao :
Here it is: Flamengo, Flamengo my rubro-negro , the most popular club in Brazil, which saw a terrible dearth of national title in 17 years seems to have done the most difficult win by going on the lawn for Corinthians of Sao Paulo (club Ronaldo Fenomeno , who played 25 minutes ... before you it seems to snap in the thigh). However, the new pre-game were not good, with the package last minute Adriano the Imperador , who injured his heel (a fat burning) Friday on a lamp in his garden, according to the dubious official version (more likely in cacou making the motorcycle and thongs !)... One would imagine that this twist of fate and lack of artilheiro Championship (current top scorer with 19 goals) shower the heat Flamenguistas c ... That was not counting without the strength and morale that animate amazing players Fla. for the past four months, and early returns matches. Flamengo played, played well and deserved his victory, 2-0, which coincides with empowerment at the top of Brasileirão ... for the first time since the start of the championship! Go
for you, both goals in that game Fla. epic!



With 64 points now (37 or 60% points!, Taken during the return phase) exceeded the unfortunate Flamengo São Paulo FC (well, unfortunate, but it is still triple defending champion, eh, so we will not complain either;) who suffered a crushing defeat on the field of Goias, 4-2, the club of the District Federal having finally played with honesty and application as a referee in this league. The lights the SPFC and remain stuck at 62 points, and are the big losers on Sunday, since they not only had to cede the top spot, but they find themselves relegated to even ... 4th row they are lined with Internacional of Porto Alegre (who beat Sporting Club on the lawn pernambucano ), but also by Verdãos Palmeiras, who beat the Atletico Mineiro home 3 goals to 1 (which an object of the great disappointment of the championship, Vagner Love). All three find themselves 62 points, and should at least be assured of their place in the Copa Libertadores.
But the title is well Fla. who has all the trumps to make the pass six ( Hexacampeão become, after the success of 1980, 82, 83, 89 and 92) and return SPFC to the tune of ..., the most successful club in Brazil for now. It is indeed enough of a victory next Sunday in his den superheated Maracana, against Gremio Porto Alegre demobilized (and who is said to be too pleased to give the title to Fla and do not see his rival reviled alegre, Internacional, pocketing the key!) to see the trophy coveted championship Brasileirão ! And yours truly-writer to the great joy of having places for this HUGE game, you will make a detailed summary than early next week!

The struggle to avoid rebaixamento (relegation) :
Incredible! Fluminense Conca (photo cons), once thought lost forever relegated already and here just 10 days, has just completed a series impressive 6 straight victories in the league, including one yesterday (brilliant, a 4-0 families with even a goal from Fred Risen!), against Vitoria, which allows for the first time in 27 days ( !) to leave the relegation zone, and to send ... rival Botafogo Carioca, which produced a spectacle of signal weakness in the field of Atletico Parana (itself beleaguered in the standings before this match), for a loss logic 2 goals to 0.
But nothing is final for the last place to hell (Sport and Nautico-99% - Santo Andre is already in the car to the plague Series B), and the last day is going to play the nerves of torcedores Botafogo, Fluminense Coritiba and also, all three still threatened. Moreover, the latter two meet in a match in the life and death, where the loser will be on the scaffold ... if at the same time Botafogo, who still holds his fate in his feet, beat Palmeiras. .. which itself will still play the title! Huge, I tell you!

What Does Rigworm Look Like At First

Ronaldo: adeus to World Cup 2010 ...

Ronaldo, o Fenomeno , former star of Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid today to pre-retired Corinthians São Paulo , should in all likelihood never crossed the magical 100 caps with the Seleção auriverde (he is 97). Indeed, Dunga, coach of the Brazilian team (brilliantly qualified for the next World Cup to be held in South Africa in July 2010), has almost definitely ruled out the idea before an audience of journalists who asked him the question, for the 10,000 th time, the return of R9 national team. "There some players who no longer need to be tested. I'll ask you one thing: do not harbor any illusions fans (about the return of Ronaldo) " said Scolari, pitiless his ex-teammate (they won all the World Cup 1994 and have lived together again the terrible defeat the 1998 final against ... our Bleus!). The 23 goals in 36 matches in official competition Fenomeno since returning to competition under the jersey Timão have not been enough to persuade Dunga ... We must also admit that Seleção do lack of arguments attacking the highest quality, as Fabuloso Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), licensee at the forefront of the attack, Nilmar, the former Lyon striker and current Villareal Adriano, the 'Imperador reborn in the jersey of Flamengo and current top scorer with 18 goals Brasileirão, or the bulldozer AS Roma Julio Baptista. So, dear Ronnie, if you read us (we can always dream;), go and buy yourself a nice home FastShop giant LCD screen, because the next World Cup is in slippers and with a good cervejinha that thou shalt live!

How Much Does It Cost To Run A Pedestal Fan

Juninho of Vasco retour au?

Juninho Pernambucano , the former great player of the OL (with whom he won 7 championships in France, to the despair of my heart Etienne ...) last week granted an exclusive interview "Lance", the Brazilian sports newspaper in which he confesses his deep desire to come and finish his career with Vasco da Gama, the club revealed, and with whom he won two national championships in Brazil and the famous Copa Libertadores, between 1997 and 2000.

"I dream of returning to play for Vasco ..." admits midfielder Franco-Brazilian 34 years. "... I want to go back in May 2010, but I do not want anyone stealing my body is already showing signs of fatigue, I did more than I was before ... If I listened to my heart, I would already returned. There would be no concern of contract, I've played over 300 matches for Vasco ... I want to be part of the group of Vasco and let the coach to choose, I do not want to put pressure to make me play whatever the costs. I'm not saying I'm playing bad now, I can still make good games. I can still play 20 or 25 important games this year, but I have no physical or mental resources to deal with 50 to 60 games as in the Brazilian championship

...". If we decode, there are still unlikely to see the jersey with Juninho cruzmaltino on the shoulders, it feels closer in his speech in a well-deserved retirement (he turns 35 in 2010) than play another season, full uncertainties and risks to his idol status among fans vascainos (season rising to the first division ...). And love said Juninho Vasco is a bit ostentatious and forced, if he really wanted to come back, he would be back in mid-2009, but he should have abandoned the petrodollar Al Garrafha and would hit grim season in second division Brazilian ... There would have been a true and great proof of love, Juni eh? ;)

Brasileirão 2009: quel suspense!

The 36th day of the Brazilian championship, which took place over the weekend, was once very rich in emotions, but has not yet issued any definitive verdict, nor for the championship nor for relegation!

The fight for the championship is still undecided, although the triple champion, São Paulo, appears to have consolidated his position, despite losing ground in Rio. Indeed, Botafogo, fighting to not go down, played a great game in its lair Engenhão (pictured above-cons), returning twice the scoring against the armada paulista, and even allowing to pass in mind the very end of the match, following a feat of attacking Jobson (who will not finish the match, the smart aleck who removed his shirt for joy after having had a yellow card!). The match ended with the cheers of the public botafoguense, 3-2 for alvinegros ! Images of the highlights of this match, considered one of the finest in the 2009 championship, are below:

And why So São Paulo, with the defeat and remains stuck at 62 points, he finally win? Because Flamengo has not been able to take advantage of this misstep, conceding a draw 0-0 pitiful face of Goias, on the lawn of mythical Maracana, and this in front of more than 85,000 torcedores melt! Goias Team Brasilia, which however does not play anything this season, has magnificently stood the test (admittedly sluggish) of rubro-negros in a match austere and closed when clear chances can be counted on the fingers of hand. Goias has withstood so much so that some people imagine a dirty trick of São Paulo, in the form of a jar of wine (the famous maleta branca here) for a favorable outcome - Angelim Ronaldo, defender Flamenguistas has even speaking of a sum of 300,000 R $! Brazil too strong these!

The fact remains that Flamengo lost a golden opportunity to turn the head to the first time this season, with two games remaining! With 61 points now, it remains a point behind rival paulista, but especially with a schedule more complicated (more on that later) ...

bottom of the ranking, the situation also remains tense and exciting, following victories combined Botafogo and Fluminense (beautiful weekend for soccer carioca!). Botafogo, we saw how, and Fluminense, who continues his incredible comeback in the standings, with a clearcut victory 3-0 in the field of Sport relegated. Fred, the former Lyon (pictured), was still marked, and Conca (very big player one, an Argentinian 26 years that would look good in a European team) once again was huge (8.5 out of 10 in Lance!).
result, Botafogo is 16th with 44 points and first non-relegation zone, level on points with Atletico and threatened Coritiba-PR (two clubs southern state of Parana), Fluminense and follows closely with 42 points! The next day

may be decisive at the top and bottom of the ranking: São Paulo to Brasilia, Goias ... plays and goes to the Corinthians Flamengo Ronaldo! If MS wins, the title should be folded ... the lights receiving the last Sport on the final day. For his part, moves from Botafogo Atletico-PR, for a duel with knives and a 6-point game, and receives in his den Fluminense Maracana Vitoria (presumably saved with 47 points). Result, if he wins Flu out of the relegation zone for the first time in 28 days! A rescue would be incredible but is now an option!

See you in six days, Nov. 29, to follow the penultimate day, ahead of history!
