That's a brilliant free kick, I can't remember the last time I saw something like that.

Any idea what channel these games are on in America, if any? I'd love to catch some of these matches on TV and maybe convince bartenders to put them on.

Great post Vinestalk. I think one of the best things about the Brazilian league is it's relative instability in terms of "big teams" compared to the European leagues. I remember not that long ago that Flamengo was close to being relegated, and if Im remembering right there was a time that Fluminense were in the third division. My wife's family are all Flamengo supporters so I shamelessly throw my plastic hat in for them. Adriano was only recently released by Corinthians, mostly for being a fat piece of poo poo who didn't care. What a waste. I don't know if there's any truth to it, but a lot of Milan speculators are thinking that Seedorf is going to go to Brazil next year. There were supposed negotiations going on with Botafogo, but that rumor's disappeared. It'd be cool to see him in a league that's so vastly different from the Italian Serie A.

The thing with Forlan is that he's overpriced for his age and he came off of a poo poo season with Inter. Inter isn't going to sell for much less than what they paid and Nobody in Europe will want to spend that much on someone who was poo poo (and injured and old) all season. A Brazilian side signing him would give him a chance to start over in a totally different league and playing style. I bet if he goes he'll score a shitload of goals.

Im glad Santiago Silva is getting a chance again. He really didn't fit in with Fiorentina's system at all. You can tell he missed playing in that video, even if it is in an insane way. About Forlan, does he play as a sort-of-midfielder for Uruguay? He was definitely being deployed as a top line forward for Inter. Maybe that's why it wasn't working.

I haven't heard a thing from him since, I basically forgot about him until you mentioned this match, looked it up and now he's on Gremio.

Caceres playing in a back three is weird - shouldn't be in the midfield on the wing? Seems like a waste.

Dias posted:Eh, I'm actually in favor of that. South America as a whole has spent way too long just giving away young prospects to Europe, keeping only the bad and/or old players on their leagues. At least cough up a LOT of cash if you want our really good players. Plus, it gives them more time to mature instead of going to Milan, getting caught in the nightlife and loving everything up. On the plus side the new Juan, who also plays for (the other) Inter, looked up for it. And Rafael was awesome. Nice to see Pato playing for more than 4 minutes and scoring at that

Have any of you guys seen the documentary The Two Escobars? It's about Pablo and Andres and how the worlds of drug trafficking and Colombian football collided during the 80's and 90's. I really enjoyed it but Im wondering if there were things that went missing or were otherwise glossed over as it was presented to American audiences.

Corinthians winning this trophy means that Milan still hold the title of "Club with the most trophies, including a bunch of poo poo and worthless ones" so that kind of makes me happy.

325 million and its still hosed; that's incredible. Is it down to cronyism and super low bid contracts and the usual poo poo or is it more sinister?

Volkerball posted:Corinthians game is interesting with no fans. All you can hear is the coaches yelling at the players. The leagues I follow are no strangers to empty stadiums or closed stadiums and I always find it interesting to hear the players shout at each other. It's especially good when they don't speak the same language.

Also, they showed Renato Gaucho's daughter in the stands and uh wow I'm on my phone but people should look this up. He beats two defenders and puts one right in the top corner. Lovely goal.

This puts it amongst the few clubs that won their league one year and got relegated the following. Congrats. Man that is incredible. I feel like this happens more often in South America since teams get torn apart by European clubs when they win anything and have to start over. So no Fla-Flu next year then.

So unrelated to the shady dealings of post-championship relegations, did Pato really win the equivalent of "biggest flop" of the year? I read on an Italian website that he won the Brazilian equivalent of the Bidone d'Oro.

joepinetree posted:Ronaldinho is staying with Atletico, Elano is going to Flamengo, and it is uncertain what is going to happen with Scocco and Forlan. Rumors are Forlan is going to Botafogo and Scocco is demanding a raise or more playing time. In extra field news, a district attorney for Sao Paulo state has sued to overturn the loss of points by Portuguesa, and unless something dramatic happens the likely result seems to be that they will have to change the formula for the Brazilian league. So what happened to the Ronaldinho to Besiktas thing, was that a hoax? Also I can't imagine the uproar when the league changes it's relegation/promotion formulas.

This rules, but surely both teams but out a second or third choice side.
