FELIZ terça-feira! Brazil defeated Egypt 2-0 last
night and Jonas netted in both goals for Mano's men ("quão legaaal" for
the Valenciano!) By all accounts, the selecao were expected to win this match anyway and
despite all his attempts, Hulk wasn't able to score from any of his best chances upfront.
Bem-vindo a Bootcamp Monday! We're almost reaching the end of this
month's edition as Brasil prepares to face Mexico in a friendly tomorrow. We know
there are many Mexican Futbolita readers, so if you'd like to say "OIII!"
to Mano's men, they're putting up at Hotel Camino Real, where a
churro or two would be most welcome if you'd like to slip past those buff security guys
(just kidding).
Bem-vindo a Brazilian Bootcamp! So the Selecao are due to
face Costa Rica in a few hours, which means Matchday is already
here! Of course, since many of the players are match-fit anyway, all they needed to do was a bit
of stretching.
It's only Day 2 of the Selecao Bootcamp and so much has gone down! Man United's
Fabio who declared once that he'd prefer to play for Portugal ("Oh no
he DI'INT!") went through the traditional
'Baptism Brasileira' process which involves standing on a chair
and telling the whole room why you're proud to play for Brazil.
BEM-VINDO to Seleção Bootcamp, a relatively short edition this time
because kick-off for their friendly against Germany takes place later today! Mano's manos
did the usual from an X-Ray (kindly demonstrated by Julio Cesar
below- unfortunately it did not reveal any other finds) to their training session.
Welcome to Seleção Bootcamp... a Fútbolita tradition! To make up for lost time (desculpe,
desculpe), here's a series of candid shots featuring Mano's manos
getting ready for the Copa America which officially kicks off on Friday. First up,
we don't know exactly what's going on here but Robinho's pose resembles one of
those freaky Tiger mascots on cereal boxes ("Take yo' cereal every morning, kids!

Mexico defeated El Salvador last night in Texas as part of the CONCACAF Gold
Cup qualification. After a disappointing Champions League finale for Chicharito,
he managed to redeem himself by scoring a hat-trick in the second half. We're
pretty sure the entire country was waiting for that.
