Yeah, super post Vinestalk, thanks so much for the effort.

Topical to this thread, I've been slowly working my way through Futebol: The Brazilian Way. It covers the history by distinct chapters that tend to cover individual players across different eras, it's a cool format. For example, the first chapter covers the scattering of Brazilian players across the smaller leagues of Europe by following the first 4 Brazilian players to play in the Faroe Islands league, how they have to work in local industry to make ends meet, etc.

Good book, worth checking out if you get the chance.

For those with ESPN3, it looks like they have started showing one Brazilian match per week. Tomorrow is Flamengo against Internacional.

The stream I'm watching had a compilation the best goals of the Blue Square Premiere League at halftime. It was great, they basically were fluky deflections that caught the keeper off guard.

https://www.livesport.tv has legal streams for several South American leagues, and the prices are cheap. I have never ordered them however since they don't offer match replays. But, the quality might be better than the illegal streams out there.

Drogadon, what is the general perception of LDA and their supporters? I recently found out that my friend's dad is a supporter and had gone to matches for like 60 years (he has health problems now and can't make it out to games anymore).

Giovanni, other than Chivas/America what are the other big Mexican derbys?

I don't know anything about Mexican football, but I was on vacation in Mexico once when America and Cruz Azul played, and that's the only thing ESPN and Fox Deportes talked about all week. It was a good match too.
