Unless if what caused it is your team being relegated.

Whoever doesn't support Corinthians in Brazil is behind Boca on this one and that goal out of a guy that's pretty much no one as of now leaves a sour taste in our mouth. :-(

To be more precise, games are played on weekends, usually at 4pm and 6:30pm GMT -3:00, so do the math for your timezone. After Libertadores is over, there will be matches on Wednesday and Thursday too, at 7:30pm, 8:30pm, 9pm and 9:45pm, since teams need to catch up on games postponed because of the cups.

I'm from the United States, but I lived in Buenos Aires for a while and Atlanta are my team. They were relegated to the third division a couple weeks ago, unfortunately. The Argentine league system's complicated, at least for my feeble Yankee mind, with the three-season rolling averages and a bunch of promotion/relegation playoffs across the entire system. Atlanta's bitter rivals Chacarita Juniors, who were docked a point by the AFA when their fans were quite charmingly caught singing in their home match against Atlanta that they wanted to "kill the Jews to make soap" (Atlanta has a traditionally Jewish fanbase), finished a place or two above Atlanta, and they had to play in one of these two leg promotion-relegation playoffs against Nueva Chicago of the third division. Chicago won the first leg 1-0 at home, and they needed a tie in the second leg away to get promoted as a tie in aggregate favors the team in the higher division. Get hosed, Chaca.

Football is the stage of some ridiculous moments, that's why it's so awesome to watch. Like defending a penalty while down four players and afterwards scoring on a crazy run thru the field to win a promotion game by 1-0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9eiMu-D78Y Also, Botafogo hiring Seedorf. That's also quite ridiculous.

On today's gently caress MY STUPID LIFE AND TEAM, Fábio Aurélio, who was recently hired by Grêmio and about to make his debut appearance playing for the team this very Sunday, injured himself in training today and could spend up to six loving goddamn months out. gently caress.

Just a little question/discussion point from someone who doesn't really know a whole lot at all about the history of the game in South America: Managers seem to get fired and float around from team to team much more often than I'm used to in European soccer and American sports. Atlanta went through four different managers in their B Nacional season. Some article I just read says that five other teams in their division, including Chaca, also went through four different managers. Chaca's current manager - well, watch this space, he may not be too current soon - has previously managed Atlanta in two different stints. Looking at the Wiki pages of top Brazilian/Argentinian managers shows me the same trend: those guys have all been everywhere! How much control does the average manager at the average club have over transfer policy? I'd assume "very little," that it's mostly down to the president/the board if their average lifespan is so short. Managers in England are expected to try to build a team in their image; I can't imagine that could have been expected out of Chaca or Atlanta's third or fourth manager of 2011-2012. Does the role focus more heavily on tactics, motivation, and short-term results? Where do the divergences in the role of "manager" between European soccer and South American soccer come from?

That Chacarita video is fantastic.Dias posted:Yep. Confirmed by Botafogo a couple hours ago. It's gonna be great when Seedorf commits suicide after having all his good passes and plays wasted by Botafogo's stupid strikers. Speaking of Botafogo stupid strikers, where's Abreu heading to? I heard he was looking for a new club where he can be a starter because he wants to play the WC in 2014. I hope he gets transferred to the glue factory. On Gremio news, I heard Aurelio got pretty badly injured at training, that guy must be cursed or something. edit: beaten on the Fabio thing.

That's So Fabio. I believe the last time he suffered a major knee injury at Liverpool, it was from playing football with his kids.

bow chicka wow wow posted:Just a little question/discussion point who doesn't really know a whole lot at all about the history of the game in South America: This is a very interesting question and I don't really have a good answer for you. I do agree that maybe managers here have less control over transfers and club policies than they do in Europe and definitely everyone thinks more about short-term results. I could'nt explain exactly why the difference is so marked, maybe because clubs in the americas have considerably less money? maybe something about hot-blooded latinos/brazilians being impulsive lol. What do you guys think?

Managers in Brazil have little control over transfers, usually they work with what they get and just suggest a couple of names or so. Felipão has actually complained about that recently in Palmeiras, that he asks for certain players and completely different ones are hired. Most of the time, they're expected to get results fast, whether it's avoiding relegation, getting a Libertadores spot or winning a cup. If they do it, they stay on and get "assigned" a new set of results to strive for. Otherwise, it's bye-bye coach. But it's not really just up to board either: they come and go according to what the supporters think of them at the moment too. Even if they didn't do that bad, if we think they should go, they end up going. For most clubs, managers make quite convenient scapegoats sometimes - it's easier to hire a new coach than, you know, good players. Plus, it's also cheaper, which is VERY important. One could say all of this is basically ingrained into Brazilian football culture by now. We were always more about talent than tactics, with no need for long-term planning because we spawned new stars so often, and that explains why managers are relegated to a second plane - only recently this has started to change, with an attempt by some clubs to make squads last, like São Paulo in 2005 - 2008.

A big reason prolonged manager tenure is a part of Europe, at least in my opinion, is there's a lot more financial stability in clubs. We hear about the Portsmouths, Rangers, and Leeds of Europe, but it's still a much less economically volatile environment. If a new manager in Europe is failing, they'll be given a chance to turn it around because "maybe he just needs his signings next season..." and they can take it on the chin financially. Unless they're getting relegated or bumped out of a competition they're economically dependent on, they're still going to get that consistent revenue stream. As Dias pointed out, though, having a socio setup over being a PLC or privately owned company means a club is really at the whims of the fans. Fan owned clubs are pretty uncommon in Europe, and there are very very few successful ones.
