Brazil played better the first-half, and […]

They don’t have any support. They don’t have clubs. The big press and the fans don’t care. The only thing they had was hunger. And passion. The women Brazilian national team showed today that it takes much more than nice TV commercials to win an important match. Marta, Cristiane, Daniela, Formiga… There’s so much talent […]

Another round out of São Paulo’s way to the Brazilian title. Can anybody stop them? Nine points ahead of the club in second with just 11 matches to go, best defense, 8 goals allowed in 27 matches, young talents, such as Hernanes and Breno, an experienced keeper, and now an attack that works.

Boca Juniors and São Paulo collided in Buenos Aires. It is […]
