Today Sport Club Corinthians, one of the most popular teams in Brazil (falling short only behind
Flamengo), turns 100 years old.
It is great to celebrate a century of a team so important and so proud to so many hearts (mine
included). The team we love so much was born September 1st, 1910 by a group of workers from Bom
Retiro (a São Paulo neighborhood).

It's all about footballing rivalries for this week's matches. There is no love lost between
Manchester United and Liverpool or between the fans of Schalke and Dortmund as they face each other
in the Ruhr derby.

It seems to be true. Well, at least if you only include Europe and the Arab football leagues.
Brazil has lost its post as the world's greatest footballer factory to all-time rivals Argentina:
according to a report from sports marketing consultants Euroamericas, it has replaced Brazil as the
country exporting the most professional players.
Corinthians started the weekend as league leaders in the Campeonato Brasileiro but
ended it in second place. O Timão were involved in a thrilling encounter with this year's
Copa Libertadores (South American Champions League) winners Internacional whose victory allowed
Fluminense to leapfrog Corinthians into first place.
