Seems like it's been a pretty even game to me. That goal was great.

This was the worst game I have ever seen. Defensor looked like they came straight from their holidays to the game, which knowing the players union they probably did.

I remember when the Argentinian press hyped Boghossian like he was the next great thing and ended being a lazier version of Abreu.

He was literally good for half a season, and then he moved to Austria and he was poo poo.

I remember Armenians running a campaign to get him to play for their national team. They can have him imo.

The first 2-3 streams I tried all buffered too much to follow the game, so I ended up stumbling on that one. When the first goal happened he was like "A great finish!" and then said nothing for like 5 seconds. I turned that poo poo off so fast.

Volkerball, don't you live in CO? It'll be easy to find a place showing the game live on Fox Desportes. I'll definitely be doing that for the second leg of the final on the 13th.

HAHAHA, Flamengo fired Ney Franco to hire... Luxemburgo.

It will be interesting to see how far of its way CBF and Globo will go to prevent Flamengo's relegation.

No, but they do have crazy legal challenges to being relegated, which result in weird tournaments like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copa_Jo%E3o_Havelange

The good ol' Fluminense maneuver.

But Flamengo has a historic of being shite for the first leg of the championship and then magically finding cash for new players, paying off the five months of owed players' wages that are making mediocre footballers even worse and getting some clutch referee calls in their favor.

Fluminense has been relegated on the field 4 times, including once to the third division. They only played in the second division once, were relegated to the third division, then went straight to the first.

In 2012, flamengo was fighting relegation, had just fired its headcoach, and were about to play atletico, which was on a long winning streak. CBF decided to postpone the match due to stadium security issues, so flamengo got a two week break. The stadium with security issues was used that same weekend by botafogo.

CBF and globo will not let flamengo get relegated.
