Carlos Alberto, current idol, and Roberto Dinamite, current president and greatest idol, show
where Vasco is going next year.

Vasco da Gama is back from hell. The Brazilian giant granted its return to the first division of
Campeonato Brasileiro less than a year after being relegated. Vasco was another giant that, as it's
been happening a lot lately, felt the results of the poor administrations that control most of
Brazilian football.

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.

Now that Argentina has finally secured a spot in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they can
present the new uniform to be used next year. The new kit is very loyal to past Argentinian shirts
and does a great job of keeping the pajama feel

Sorin played yesterday his last match as a professional footballer. And the stage for the
farewell party could be no other place than the Mineirao, in Belo Horizonte. And the teams on the
field could be no different than Argentinos Juniors, club where the left-back started his career,
and Cruzeiro, club for whom he professes all his love.

Today Raymond Domenech presented France's new kit to be used at the World Cup in 2010. Not my
favorite one to be honest. What do you think?

Another round. Games working out as predicted except for Man U 3 3 CSKA Moscow which I really
thought would go to Manchester. And of course Barcelona's inability to beat Kazan but they were not
playing at home (if that even serves as an excuse!). The big derby AC Milan vs. Real Madrid turned
out quite well even with teh 1-1 tie (and I see a light in the dark for Ronaldinho there is
hope).

The same way the U20 World Cup generated some analysis, the failure of the U17 deserves even
more talk. First of all, being eliminated in group that had Mexico, Switzerland and Japan is a
shame. There is simply no excuse.
This pathetic elimination was so bad that no projections for the future can be made.

It seems this generation that grew up playing FIFA/Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer and
watching Nike commercials have total disregard for bicycle goals. But they forget how it's not
easy. And I love them. Last weekend, William from Avai did it. And he cried on the pitch after
scoring it.

The 33rd round of Brasileirao put on the top Palmeiras and Sao Paulo, creator (Muricy Ramalho)
versus creation (Sao Paulo). Palmeiras leads because of the goal difference, three more than Sao
Paulo.
On the weekend, Palmeiras played the derby against Corinthians whereas Sao Paulo played
Barueri.

Until the 32nd started, things looked dull for Palmeiras. There was enormous pressure and the
fear that the team had just lost the Brasileiro. But after the last mid-week round of Brasileirao,
things changed again. Palmeiras won and all direct rivals, but one, lost precious points. With
that, the hopes of Palmeiras fans have been renewed.

The ex- Brazil international shows what he really needs to recover from injuries. One of the
most pathetic moments of his career. More than taking care of your socks when France is kicking out
of the World Cup:

Dunga announced today the players who will play the last 2 matches of the year (against England
and Oman). And he had a few surprises. Given that he decided not to call players from Brazilian
clubs (and therefore was unable to call Adriano and Diego Tardelli), he called forward Hulk. But he
wasn't the only surprise.

As expected, David Beckham is done with the MLS for now (or is it forever?). The British beau is
set to come back to AC Milan in January and although this is supposed to be another loan from LA
Galaxy I find it hard to believe that he will go back to the States. AC Milan's vice-president,
Adriano Galliani, said this is the only player coming in the next window.
