Since we're all isolated without any football, I decided to share videos of the recap of the most exciting stretch of football of my entire life, the period between the quarter finals for libertadores in 2013 and the final of the Brazil cup in 2014 where my favorite team beat the odds again and again, all with the play by play guy from my hometown radio (since the video is synced to the audio from the radio, the goals are shown multiple times, you can just skip ahead if the goals are all you care about):

1st leg, quarter finals, Atletico MG x Tijuana, Tijuana was winning 2x0 until halfway through the second half, and the game tying goal came in stoppage time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWvnRux-eXs

2nd leg, quarter finals, Tijuana scores first, Atletico ties it, then there is a PK in stoppage time for Tijuana and the goal keeper defends it, Atletico goes through on away goals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zTwLDf4SDI

In the semi finals, Newells won the 1st leg 2 x 0. Atletico then wins the 2nd leg 2 x 0 with the 2nd goal in stoppage time and goes through on PKs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GshypvprssQ

In the finals, Olimpia won the first leg 2 x 0, Atletico then won the 2nd leg 2 x 0, with the 2nd goal in the 86th minute, and wins it all on PKs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXwSyQVtqkY

Fast forward to the next year, quarter finals of the Brazilian Cup. Atletico loses the first leg in Sao Paulo to Corinthians by 2 x 0. In the second leg, Corinthians scores first, and so because of the away goal rule, Atletico would need to score 4 to go through. 4th goal comes in the 87th minute:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehG0Y90GNf8

Semi Finals, against Flamengo, same story. First leg in Rio flamengo wins 2 x 0. 2nd leg, Flamengo scores first, so once again Atletico would have to score 4 to go through. 4rh goal came in the 85th minute

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXMn_Ps4_vk

Finals were against the cross town rivals, Cruzeiro, who had just won their 2nd Brazilian league in a row. Finally an easy win

The rule is

quote:

The kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of play or the referee stops play for any offence; the kicker may not play the ball a second time.

Brazil lost the 1986 world cup in precisely the scenario that goddamnedtwisto mentioned, when a French player kicked the ball into the post and it then hit the back of the Brazilian goalkeeper to go in.

In terms of Photos that are Cool and Good:

Atletico Mineiro is on the verge of winning the Brazilian league for the first time in 50 years.
We've gotten close before. But *something* always happened. For example, in 1977 and 1980 we came very close to it. But here's the thing, during that time we had probably the greatest football player all of you have never heard of. Reinaldo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnCBi6-CVqQ

This guy:



He had an afro, and he celebrated that way because he was inspired by the Black Panthers. In the middle of the dictatorship. In 1978, for example, the Brazilian dictator told him not to celebrate that way in the world cup. He did, and not too long after that he was benched. But, of course, that is not the main thing I wanted to talk about. It's more about how Reinaldo was robbed twice of the Brazilian championship, and how he was hunted on the field.

In 1977, Reinaldo was 20 years old. He put together perhaps the greatest season in modern football history. Brazil still had one of those crazy championship formats with playoffs and all that poo poo. Keep in mind that this was still a good Brazilian league. There were more players based in the Brazilian league in the 1974 WC than in any other league in the world. The season for Atletico was 21 games long. Reinaldo played in 18 of those. And in 18 games he scored 28 goals. No typos there. An average of over 1.5 goals a game. He scored in every single one of the 18 games he played. Why did he miss 3 games? That is where the whole thing goes to poo poo. He received a red card in a game against Fast Club. He then sat out the next game, against Botafogo (which ended in a draw, 0x0), because of that red card. So he came back afterwards and played the next three games for Atletico. But in the middle of the semifinals against Londrina, CBF decided to suspend him for an additional 2 games. So he missed the second leg of the semifinal. The final was a single game, Atletico played without him, tied 0x0 and lost on PKs. Atletico was runner up with 17 wins, 4 ties, no losses. The 4 ties included the 3 games he missed. With him on the field, Atletico win 17 and tied 1.

Reinaldo's career would go on to be derailed by injuries. He was hunted on the field, with the implicit support of CBF. By age 21, he had no meniscus left. He missed a lot of games. Never became what he was destined to be.

But he had one more good season in him. And in 1980 he made it to the finals again. This time against Flamengo. Flamengo was the dictatorship's favorite team. To the point that Flamengo was sponsored by the state oil company, which, at the time, had a monopoly granted by the state. The finals were once again marked by a weirdness in format. The team who did better in the semi finals had the tie advantage in the final. Flamengo won 2 games against the relatively weak Coritiba, Atletico won 1 and tied 1 against defending champions Internacional.

First game of the final was 1 x 0 for Atletico.

Second game was in Rio. Flamengo scored 1st. Reinaldo tied it, Flamengo scored again, Reinaldo tied it again. He was hunted on the field, beaten up, limping, and still scoring. The ref was clearly bought and paid for. Now, I know that every losing fan says this. So I will post a single play and let you see for yourself:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eryUiaEMpmE&t=90s

(go to 1:30 if the timed url doesn't work). Game 2x2. Reinaldo is on a break way to score the 3rd goal. Play gets stopped for offsides. Look at the top of the video. He is clearly not offsides, by several meters. On the way back, he touches the ball, stands in front of the player trying to kick the offsides. Obviously a bit of time wasting. So he gets a red card. Not a yellow. Not a warning. A straight red card. 2 other Atletico players get sent off for complaining. 3 down, Flamengo scores, Atletico loses is because flamengo had a better performance in the semi-finals (overall, Atletico still had the better campaign).

Why all of this now?

This is Hulk, yesterday, after scoring his 5th goal in 3 games



This is who he was looking at



a 64 year old Reinaldo.

Atletico has 3 games left. Flamengo has 4. If atletico wins 1, or ties 2, or Flamengo ties any of their remaining games left, Atletico wins it all. 11 points ahead of Flamengo right now.

I didn't cry yesterday. But I did today.

Not a lot of state run companies left to sponsor clubs. Last weird deal was probably Eletrobras (a state run electrical company that has no consumer facing business) sponsoring Vasco between 2009 and 2013.

I don't live in Brazil anymore, so I don't know what people on the street feel. But in terms of media, Brazilian national media tends to be very centered around Sao Paulo and Rio, so Atletico kind of gets overshadowed. A lot more talking about Flamengo failing this year (flamengo is still the richest brazilian club by far, their monthly football payroll is about 40% bigger than Palmeiras and about 50% bigger than Atletico's) and Palmeiras winning their second straight Libertadores. In between talking about those 2 things, they will talk about Atletico probably winning after 50 years.

Thanks for this great post op

I was at a thanksgiving meal on saturday cooked by an American friend of mine and her parents who had come to visit, and her Brazilian boyfriend was there who is a huge chauvinist right wing Bolsonaro supporting piece of poo poo

He was wearing a Flamengo shirt and spent a good portion of the meal (when not talking over everyone) staring at his phone and bitching because Flamengo were losing the Copa Libertadores final so now I have even more context to be glad about their losses

I already hated Flamengo. Then on Friday Bolsonaro went and said that Saturday everyone should be rooting for Flamengo. It just made the whole thing so much sweeter.

I was at that Atletico x Flamengo, and then at Atletico x Fortaleza (when the reserves came back from 2 down to win 3x2). Tuesday Ill be at Atletico x Emelec for my first in person Libertadores game in 22 years, and then next week ill be at Atletico x Sao Paulo before heading back home. The morning after that Atletico x Flamengo I briefly freaked out thinking I had covid because I had a pretty sore throat. Then I remembered why I had a sore throat.

Here's probably better video of Atletico Flamengo from a Brazilian youtuber.

Not a particularly pretty goal. But notable nonetheless because it's the youngest player to ever score in the Brazilian league. He is 16 and 3 months. I've been following Brazilian soccer for a very long time, and I have never seen a player this hyped this young. Ronaldo was a few months older when he moved to the professional team. Whether he will amount to anything is of course up in the air, but at the very least I expect him to break the transfer fee record for Brazil very soon.
