.... Lots of it. After looking like the virtual champion of Campeonato Brasileiro, Palmeiras lost points and the chances of confirming the title. And with that, 4 clubs have now the chance of taking the title away from the side headed by Muricy Ramalho. In the 31st round of Brasileiro, Atletico-MG, Inter, Sao Paulo and Flamengo won their matches and are just a few step away from jumping to first (something that can happen in the next round).

After the 29th round of Brasileiro, it seems no one wants to take the title home. Like in the last round, when only one club on the top won, the leaders collectively failed again. Palmeiras, Sao Paulo and Atletico-MG lost. Inter and Goias tied at home. And, in this way, Flamengo, the 6th side on the table, was the first team on the top to win.

It was one of the most dramatic victories of this year's Brasileirao. Sao Paulo had all the reasons to see its visit to Nautico end up in a sound defeat.

1)Sao Paulo did not have keeper Rogerio Ceni and two of its main forwards;
2)Nautico had a penalty with just 4 minutes into the match;
3)Sao Paulo had 2 players ejected one in each half;
4)Nautico scored (through Bruno Mineiro) a goal early in the match.

With the departure of Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso, the Premiership looks in danger of lacking the Latin/Iberian flair and creativity. It is my opinion that English football needs entertainers while maintaining its physical and energetic characteristics. Players who can bring crowds and viewers to their feet with moments of magic.

Ah, how typical of Hernanes to break out into a dance halfway during Sao Paulo's training session! It could just be one of� Ricardo Gomes' 'tactics' to loosen things up in the team. You can always count on Hernanes to make everyone feel like they're in the middle of a circus.

Risate, ironia, e poi alla fine la richiesta seria. Il Milan vuole Hernanes, centrocampista brasiliano e stella del San Paolo, definito con parole importanti da Dunga: "è Pirlo più Gattuso", ma la societ� brasiliana, per bocca del suo Dg, De Jesus Lopez, risponde picche, almeno per ora, soprattutto dopo aver ascoltato l'offerta rossonera.

La 40ª edición del Brasileirão, que se promete como la más emocionante de los últimos tiempos, dará comienzo este fin de semana, con el atractivo del presumible debut de Adriano Leite con la camiseta del Flamengo en la cancha del Cruzeiro.

Además, otros partidos interesantes como el Fluminense-São Paulo o el Grêmio-Santos darán el pistoletazo de salida a la competición nacional, horas después de que se conozca que el equipo 'tricolor' no tendrá que ir a disputar su encuentro de Copa Libertadores en México ante las Chivas de Guadalajara, debido a la renuncia de los conjuntos 'aztecas' a la disputa del torneo.
