Brazil 6 – 2 Portugal
Can I even argue against this score? It was one of those matches perfect for being used in TV commercials. If Brazil has been ugly for the entire year, tonight it was fabuloso. It played like never before in the Dunga era, and if throughout the year Brazil did not score [...]

Brazil 0 – 0 Colombia: You’re from here, Remember?

By: Bruno Romani | 6 Comments

The disconnection between Brazil and the Brazilian squad reached a limit tonight in Rio. Brazilian players forgot how to play in Brazil. Tonight’s result was the third 0-0 in a row at home for the World Cup Qualifying. Those players feel comfortable playing anywhere but Brazil. Our last goal scored at home was on November [...]

We always hope this is the last time Dunga calls the players. but this time I won’t say anything. These are the players to take on Colombia and Venezuela. Nice to see that Ronaldinho and Diego are not even in the list. Too bad Andreson did not join them. Kleber is not playing well for [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
