Winter Transfers - Final Report

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 3 Comments

In bold, activity that happened in the past month. With the transfer window in Europe almost closed, this is it. Unless some huge deal is offered overnight. This year, the bleeding of talents wasn’t as bad as in previous years. Gremio kept Leo. Sao Paulo kept Hernanes. Inter kept Nilmar. And some nice transfers happened, [...]

Canal 100 Tuesday

By: Bruno Romani | Comments No Comments

With the end of the Olympics, Canal 100 Tuesday is back. Today, I went further inthe past. The match is for the 1965 Rio State Championship. Bangu, once a traditional side from Rio, thrashed Flamengo with a 3-0. Look at the third goal by Paulo Borges. It’s pure genius. The nice twist about this match [...]

Midweek round review

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 4 Comments

I should start getting paid for making this blog so updated (hey you, you wanna hire me?). In case you were wondering, here is a brief comment about the midweek round of Campeonato Brasileiro (which has been called by some “experts of The Offside as a “not real league”).
Grêmio, Cruzeiro and Palmeiras lost:
Flamengo 2 [...]

From Goalie to Goalie: Goal!

By: Bruno Romani | Comments No Comments

In the match for the second division of Campeonato Brasileiro which Avaí beat Paraná 3-1, the highlight of the day was Avaí’s keeper Eduardo Martini. With 12 minutes into the match, Martini returned the ball to action. The ball bounced in the area of Parana and tricked keeper Mauro, who was having his debut at [...]

Still on the job, Dunga Announces the Players for the Next Round of the WC Qualifying

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 5 Comments

9 players who went to the Olympics. And the first appearance of Flamengo’s leftback Juan. Hopefully, this was the last time Dunga calls players. However, to not be completely unfair, where is Kaka? As usual, the player who belongs to Jesus cannot play. Could he just change his citizenship?
Goalkeeers:
Júlio César (Internazionale-ITA)
Renan (Internacional)
Sidebacks:
Maicon [...]

Saddest and Proudest Post of the History of this Blog

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 2 Comments

This is the saddest post since I started this blog. We lost the final of the Olympics for the USA in the extra-time. And the reason it hurts so much is that those girls played with their hearts every minute of this final. They had soul. Their effort and bravery is something that makes every [...]

Thank You Argentina!

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 16 Comments

Argentina,
you don’t even know, but you just did a major favor to Brazil. Hopefully, that obscene attemp of coach named Dunga will be fired. Argentina, yes, it was a pretty bad spank. It does not feel good. But, had we won that match (and I wanted it really bad, don’t get me wrong here), [...]

Brazil 4 - 1 Germany: The Underdogs are in the Final Again!

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 4 Comments

Brazil started as the underdog. A smell of inferiority complex was in the air. Germany scored in a mistake of Érika. Germany missed a few other chances. But that lasted only 25 minutes. From that point, Brazil became powerful. It humiliated Germany. The current World Champs did not see the ball in the second half. [...]
