Actually, it’s funny that you posted the Eurocentricness complaint on the main page. I was actually thinking of asking to start a Corinthians blog just so I could learn more about Brazilian football, but then I kept putting it off, and now they’re relegated. Of course I could still do it, but it’s hard enough as it is getting info for Serie A matches. Forget B. So maybe Vasco (cause of Juninho!) or Flamengo (because it’s my favorite animal). Hmm…

hey guillermo, just point to me where I said that corinthians played better than gremio?

besides that, the ref in goiania had less participation in dealying the match than the local press.

Bruno,

Some corrections…

(1) Goias didn’t tried to delay the beginning of their game. The referee, Djalma Beltrami – the same from the “Batalha dos Aflitos” (”Aflitos Battle”), tried to make the game there at the same time from the game here in Porto Alegre.
(2) Corinthians NEVER played better than GREMIO in the 95 minutes match yesterday. What happened was that after hear that Cruzeiro was beating America by 2-0 our dream to play again the Libertadores became impossible to be reached so there was no really need to keep playing the game. The only thing being that really mattered after that was the supporters cheering to see Corinthians being relegated.

GO GRÊMIO!!!

Bruno, I’ll second what Martha says over on the main page. Sorry about not reporting on this.

Believe it or not, our main page Eurocentrism bothers us, too! Problem is, at least on my part, I read French and am a fan of French football, so I know the French news sites and can find the news as it happens. Unfortunately I don’t speak either Spanish or Portuguese, so it’s hard for us to find South American football news on our own. It’s very helpful if somebody can point us in the right direction.

I know Martha has the Corinthians news going up in the Daily Dose tonight as the last post of the day. That’s a start. I also know all of us would like to move forward from there and develop more Central and South American coverage. We can do it with your help. As Martha said over on the main page comment, send e-mail at tips[at]theoffside[dot]com. Or you can email any of the four of us directly at [firstname][at]theoffside[dot]com.

Thanks for being patient! This is a work in progress and we’re still figuring things out.

Wow. Sounds like a thrilling finale. Unfortunately the video link doesn’t seem to work on a Mac.:(

Was the reason for Corinthians downfall all due to the MSI thing back in July/August?

As an Atlético Mineiro´s fan I was pissed when I saw some people from the press (especially from São Paulo – the city) saying how easy it would be for Palmeiras to beat Atlético Mineiro.
That´s 3 – 1 for them to swallow. (Should´ve been more).
