As you're probably aware, Brazilian football (CBF and CONMEBOL for that matter) have no respect
for the international break. So two matches took place in Brazil on Wednesday night one for Copa
Sudamericana and one for the Brasileiro. And it was enough for the biggest collective nervous
breakdown, I've ever seen.

What seemed to be a terrible year for Fluminense may end up as a good one, after all (obviously,
staying in the first division is fundamental to that). In the first-leg of the semis, Flu played as
it is supposed to: as a big and traditional club. It played the first-half better than Cerro
Porteno, but did not score.

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.

The two Brazilian clubs still in the Copa Sudamericana did not start well the quarter-finals of
Copa Sudamericana. Botafogo and Fluminense will have a lot of work if they plan to advance to the
semis. Botafogo visited Cerro Porteno in Paraguay and lost 2-1. Reinaldo scored for Bota, but if
the club from Rio wants to advance, it must win at Maracana.

The irony? Those two clubs are in the relegation zone of Campeonato Brasileiro. This shows how
much Brazilian clubs care about this competition and how low its level is. Botafogo and Fluminense
are the ones trying not only to save the season, but also to save Brazil's reputation in the
tournament.
