Video of the Day: Ronaldinho’s Recent Good Form
Sorry for the lack of posts the past week, it’s been busy. There has been a Ronaldinho sighting the past few weeks, and with it a resurgent AC Milan. Before we start calling for his return to the national team let’s see this form last awhile longer.
The U-17 team had a terrible performance at the World Cup. They have been complaining about the amount of yellow cards they received as the reason for their group stage exit, which is a sorry excuse. Bruno has an excellent piece on what happened that I highly recommend.

Hulk, Fábio Aurélio, Carlos Eduardo, and Michel Bastos are the notable new faces. I am little surprised to see Carlos Eduardo and Julio Baptista get the call over Diego. Baptista is hardly seeing the pitch right now at Roma, and is probably leaving the club soon. Fábio Aurélio’s call up was long overdue, and he is a very ... [read]
Champions League; News and Notes
Dani Alves is set to be sidelined for around three weeks due to a thigh injury picked up yesterday, Barcelona have announced.
Felipe Melo was forced to leave the pitch having sustained an ankle injury, and will be evaluated on Friday. It doesn’t appear at that this injury will force him to miss an extended amount of time.

Brazil – Venezuela Recap
BRASIL 0 X 0 VENEZUELA
Well that’s it for qualification. It was not an emphatic end to the campaign, but not a bad one either. These last two matches saw many non-regulars get a look. I think sometimes we forgot what a grueling endurance test South American qualification really can be. To finish first in the standing after ... [read]
Brazil 0-0 Venezuela
Brazil really deserved three points from this match but it wasn’t in the cards. We got a good look at Lucas and Filipe tonight. I thought both were solid. However, Kaka had a sub par match. Regardless, I don’t mind this result. The team played well in a match that did not matter much. I’ll have the full recap tomorrow.

U-20 Through to the Final
They’ll play a solid Ghana team in the World Cup final on Friday. This was a well deserved win for the U20 team, although Costa Rica looked like a very legit side. Alan Kardec scored the game winner, and could have had more on more than a few occasions in this match. Rogério Lourenço has really done a masterful ... [read]

Bolivia – Brazil Recap
Apologies for the tardiness of this recap, it was a busy day today. I just found the time to put this together. Basically, and unsurprisingly, yesterday’s match sucked, there was no other way to put it. Its gotta be hard to motivate yourself for a rather meaningless match in a very difficult and exhausting setting due to the ... [read]
Bolivia 2 – 1 Brazil
That sucked. The team was very uninspired this afternoon. Josue and Miranda have no business being on the national team…none. Bolivia definitely deserved the points. I’ll have the full recap either tonight or tomorrow afternoon, no one is getting more than a 6.5 rating.
