Shakhtar Donetsk vs Chelsea 2-1 Highlights 2012 Alex Fernandinho Oscar Goals Video Champions League is a post from Soccer Blogger.

After granting a spot in next year's first division of Brazilian football, Vasco da Gama finished the combo and took home the dubious title of champion of the second division. Wearing a commemorative jersey (not very tasteful, if I may say), the club cameback to beat America-RN at a packed Maracana.

This is a bit late, but necessary. Brazil lost the final of the U20, but the result was just a detail (besides the fact that young Brazilian squads always lose to African nations). The real question is: what can we expect of those players in the future?

Estas fotos quebrar nossos corações! In the end, Ghana got their revenge from the 1993 loss... and defeated our meninos in the finals of the U-20 World Cup last night. Even with one man down, the selecao's multiple shots at goal couldn't a seal a win in extra time.

Rogério Lourenço's side are unbeaten in the tournament and will be at full-strength. Giuliano, Paulo Henrique Ganso, Alex Teixeira and Alan Kardec have impressed for Brazil and the presence of these four makes the South Americans favourites to take the trophy.

The ball and the title gets away from Alan Kardec and Brazil

Scoreless after a turgid 90 minutes, Brazil and Ghana went to extra time and then penalties in the Under-20s World Cup final in Cairo on Friday. Brazil failed to capitalize after Addo was sent off in the first-half and their lack of invention and drive was to cost them when the game went to a sudden death shootout.
