See The Cup 19 November @ 12:43 AM EST
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.

The Offside 12 November @ 01:43 AM EST
This video quickly goes from the worst non-offside call in history to the worst offside trap in
history to the worst goalkeeping in history. In essence this video should have all its copies burn
and rid from the earth so as to avoid being viewed by a young, impressionable footballer. There are

Dirty Tackle 09 November @ 03:14 PM EST
While Sir Alex once again displayed his ref insulting Tourrettes after his side's loss to
Chelsea, what Palmeiras president Luiz Gonzaga Belluzzo had to say about referee Carlos Eugenio
Simon after their 1-0 loss to Fluminense makes the sum total of Fergie's ref rants look downright
complimentary by comparison.

Until the 32nd started, things looked dull for Palmeiras. There was enormous pressure and the
fear that the team had just lost the Brasileiro. But after the last mid-week round of Brasileirao,
things changed again. Palmeiras won and all direct rivals, but one, lost precious points. With
that, the hopes of Palmeiras fans have been renewed.

We're back in the United States for the week while club football returns to action around the
world. All of the top clubs were in action this past weekend and most of them play twice in the
coming week, so we are back in full force.
The volatility that marked the past few weeks in the rankings has slowed down this week, though
top-ranked Chelsea did manage to lose to Aston Villa to give up its place at the top spot both in
the Premiership and the rankings.

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.

Despite a shock 3-0 loss at strugglers Náutico, Palmeiras remain five points clear at the top
of the Brasileiro with nine games to go. As usual when the Palestra Itália outfit slip up, none of
their main rivals were able to take advantage as no one in the top five managed to win.

Blue is the colour
For their penultimate game in the WC qualifiers, Brazil take on Bolivia in La Paz and Dunga is
expected to make changes from his regular starting line-up. With Kaká, Gilberto Silva and Luis
Fabiano all rested, the coach could test Josué, Miranda, and Diego Souza. The latter two have had
good seasons for São Paulo and Palmeiras respectively but have yet to secure a place in the squad
for next year's finals.

On the 27th round of Brasileirao, Palmeiras gave an important step towards the title by keeping
the 5 point lead over Sao Paulo, the second team in the table. And it wasn't a simple victory. It
was a clear display of the discipline, power and luck (why not?) against Santos at Vila
Belmiro.

It appears that Santos seems to have a larger army of female supporters as opposed

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.

This is a bit a late, but it confirms what i wrote earlier this week about the 25 round of
Brasileirao. It was a Palmeiras round. The club visited Cruzeiro and performed like a club coached
by Muricy Ramalho: solid in the defense and precise in the counter-attacks. The winning goal, by
Vagner Love, was constructed in such fashion.
