The Potential and Progress of Philippe Coutinho
Back in 2011, I said that Philippe Coutinho was possibly the 2nd most talented U23 player Brazil had other than Neymar. Of course, “talent” does not equal “execution.” It doesn’t even necessarily equal “skill.” And certainly Coutinho’s execution was wanting way back then, whether playing for Ney Franco or for Inter. Why did I say Coutinho ... [read more]

Goodbye!
I know I have sporadically posted on here for the past year, but, even though I've been busy, for the last month I've been making a conscious effort to post and keep you guys updated on the best soccer in the world (kinda). However I'm disappointed with the state that ...
Neymar, Neymar, Neymar, Neymar

Larissa Riquelme will present/model América-PE's new uniforms for the 2012 season. The news is a bit random (América-PE is completely unknown in Brazil).

Brazilian Managers Earn European Salaries
Brazilian Managers Earn European Salaries I'm sure we are all aware of the economic "boom" in Brazil right now? The result has been a wave of veteran players returning and young stars staying. These players are earning millions and millions (a month)...cough cough Neymar cough. But managers are also getting in ...
Corinthians Orders Chinese, Neymar Best in the Americas and Copinha
Sup guys? I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays (and has recovered from their hangovers). Chen Zhi-Zhao to Corinthians If it sounds strange, that's because it is. Rarely do Brazilian clubs sign non-South Americans, so for one to hire a Chinese player of all people is beyond bizarre. China isn't exactly known ...
The End
After a little over two years of documenting my thoughts on Santos on this platform, I will be moving to my own blog for the new year. When I made my first post I was a novice in every sense of the word. Now I can look back and smile ...
2011 Santos Season Review
The Club World Cup Final marked the end to yet another eventful year as a Santos fan. It was with great successes, immense failures, beautiful attacking, and the - almost inevitable- comedy acts at the back. With the players on holidays and Brazilian football in a temporary lull, it's time ...
