After granting a spot in next year's first division of Brazilian football, Vasco da Gama finished the combo and took home the dubious title of champion of the second division. Wearing a commemorative jersey (not very tasteful, if I may say), the club cameback to beat America-RN at a packed Maracana.

Vasco da Gama is back from hell. The Brazilian giant granted its return to the first division of Campeonato Brasileiro less than a year after being relegated. Vasco was another giant that, as it's been happening a lot lately, felt the results of the poor administrations that control most of Brazilian football.

There is no doubt this is a wonder goal, but is it enough to fuel speculation that you may leave the second tier of Brazilian football and be on your way to Anfield? Well why not watch and then decide for yourself.

Algo que yo nunca había presenciado en la historia del futbol es ver a un futbolista cerca de la muerte por asfixiarse con su propio chicle.

Resulta que se estaban enfrentando el Vasco da Gama y el Brasiliense (ambos equipos de la serie B brasileña), en donde en una jugada dividida ocurre un fuerte choque de cabezas entre el delantero del Vasco da Gama, José Aloísio y el defensa del Brasiliense, dejando con la peor parte al jugador del Vasco que quedó inconsciente en el campo de juego.

Click to continue reading...

El jugador del Vasco da Gama de Brasil, Aloisio, por razones estupidas decidio que era buena idea masticar chicle durante un partido. Pero cuando se golpeo la cabeza, el jugador cayo al pasto inconsiente y el chicle aprovecho el momento para atorarlo y no dejarlo respirar. Saliendo del hospital Aloisio dijo que desde ahora en adelante va a empezar a cepillarse los dientes y no enmascarar el mal aliento con chicle. Click to continue reading...

Brazilian striker Aloisio made a memorable debut for Vasco da Gama on Tuesday, in a league match against Brasiliense. Not memorable good though; memorable bad. Bad meaning fatal, almost. In the second half Aloisio knocked heads with an opponent...

Aloisio, a striker for Brazilian second division club Vasco da Gama, was making his debut as a starter on Tuesday when he nearly died as a result of chewing gum while playing. Seriously. And no, the Brazilian second division isn't a part of the Special Olympics.

Aloisio went up to challenge for a high ball, but instead butted heads with the opposing player in front of him while the ball went over both of them.

Its an Argentina vs Brazil final. What more can you do to stir passion?

However as Tim Vickery points out, the Copa Libertadores is looked down by many in Brazil even as the clubs fight for the final four spots in the national championships because similar to the European Championships, entry into the Copa yields big financial payoffs and a potential launching pad for players interested in an international career.

Así es amigos lectores, América en los próximos dos torneos estará librando una batalla por no descender sólo dos juegos ó seis puntos como lo quieran ver los separan del último lugar general, exceptuando al recién ascendido Querétaro que iniciará de cero, pero su porcentaje será muy volátil por no tener el colchón de 4 torneos anteriores como lo tienen la mayoría de los equipos, es decir ellos podrían subir mucho si ganan, pero igual bajaría mucho su porcentaje si pierden.

Ronaldo couldn't save them. But then again, not even Ronaldo in his prime could save them.
