SÃO PAULO WINS CAMPEONATO BRASILEIRO FOR THE 6TH TIME

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 2 Comments

It’s hard to talk about the third Brazilian title in a row of Sao Paulo without repeating all the cliches. I spent the day thinking a different way to put it, but the supremacy of the club over Brazilian football is obvious. The club is the youngest of the traditional clubs in Brazil – only [...]

VASCO RELEGATED TO SECOND DIVISION

By: Bruno Romani | Comments No Comments

Vasco is another victim. Not a victim of bad football. A bad moment is expected within every single club or national team. But for a club who is 4 times Brazilian Champion, a club that won Copa Libertadores, a club who has a history that includes Romario, Bebeto, Juninho Pernambucano and many others relegation is [...]

But Inter decided to take this girl to dance when it noticed that its main rival Gremio could’ve started flirting with her. Still a bit embarrassed as the the two draws against U. Catolica suggest, Inter [...]

Inter: The First Brazilian Club to Reach the Finals of Sudamericana

By: Bruno Romani | Comments No Comments

Inter 4 – 0 Chivas.

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

By: Bruno Romani | Comments 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 [...]
