There were unfounded rumors today that Boca Jrs will bring Ronaldinho to replace Riquelme.
:getin:

Minas Gerais media is reporting that tonight might have been the last match he played for Atletico, though where he is going is uncertain. He's been terribly out of shape since late last season, and most Atletico fans speculated that his good form from 2012 through late 2013 was because he was trying to go to the world cup. Once it became clear he wouldn't, he wasn't the same.

Tied at 3, Atletico leads 4-3 on aggregate. Last half of extra time is about to start.

Levir Culpi is a decent coach with a massive problem: whenever he gets a lead he will just try to protect it. Atletico is far superior to Lanus, as both times they were behind showed. But when they had the aggregate lead they played ultra cowardly.

Levir has done this so many times, and lost titles because of it, that his nickname for a while was Levice (Brazilian league runner up after starting the final 2-0, twice runner up of the Brazilian cup after initially being up in the final, runner up in Mercosur cup after leading in the first match, etc). You'd figured that after a while he'd learn.



edit: as I was posting, the TV is showing Ronaldinho going from player to player, giving them a hug and saying a bunch of stuff. People on the radio saying it might be goodbye.

Pinto is out as Costa Rica manager. The federation refused his conditions (none of them regarding salary). He wanted to revamp the youth league system and get more control over his staff.

Farewell Pinto and good luck wherever you go. Can't wait until we lose to Belize with a loser like Ronald Mora at the helm :suicide:

Now there's a lot of drama about there being issues between Pinto and basically everyone else in the dressing room. This is now a ridiculous soap opera full of knee-jerk reactions and resentment. Tercermundistas indeed.

e: I heard from an itk that Pinto was an out of control tyrant, at this point who knows what's true?

How come nobody has talked about Cruzeiro's manager? They had 2 Serie A championships when he started, and they're on pace to have 4 after 2 years of him being there. That team plays really well.
