Hey how’s everyone doing? My name is Jalil and I will be your new Brazil blogger hopefully from now until the 2010 world cup (as long as I don’t get kicked off for being too explicit!). I will be assiting you and giving you my twist of all the news and up coming matches which [...]

World Cup 2010 qualifying resumes in South America next month, and we need someone to captain our Brazilian national team blog.
If you follow the Seleção, and have plenty to say about it, then we want to hear from you.
It’s not a paid position, but it is a chance to write for a big audience and [...]

Dunga was ranked the best National Coach in 2007 by the IFFHS - International Federation of Football History & Statistics. I didn’t find the criteria they used to reach this conclusion, but if that is based purely on results and numbers, well, ok they may have a point. But as a coach he still has [...]

I know that many people will celebrate because Brazil has been awarded with the 2014 World Cup. I also know that many will bash, believing that our country is not capable of hosting an event of such magnitude. I will not even be surprised if most of the bashing comes from Brazilians either. There are [...]

Brazil has been awarded the 2014 World Cup. It will be a great opportunity for our country. Every people here love the sport and new (or renewed) stadiums will be very welcomed by all the cities chosen to host the event. New roads, subways and railways will bring many benefits too.

Here are some videos about the Brazil - Mexico friendly I found in YouTube. Note that in the second video the American broadcasting was still showing Kaka’s goal replay. The narrator gets confused. He than asks if it is worth to shout “GOAL” and he does that but with much less enthusiasm. All videos are [...]

Finally we won against the Mexicans. At the Confederations Cup last year we lost 1×0, then at the Copa America we lost 2×0. Since the year 2000 we played against Mexico 9 times, and this is only the second win, while they managed to beat us 5 times (plus 2 draws). It was like a [...]

Sunday’s friendly match against the US national team was nice and fun to watch. The American team played well and with an opened and forward attitude. With some of their players performing in Europe, their game is getting better. No wonder they have beaten Mexico at the Concacaf Gold Cup.
Brazil played well too, in a [...]

Very nice article in the Fifa website about the 2 twin brothers Fabio and Rafael, both wingers playing in the National Team in the U-17 World Championship. Both going to Manchester United, as I posted 2 days ago. Nice hopes for the future. I hope nobody starts to compare them with other great stars, as [...]

Brazil won… 2-0. While other great national teams are really testing themselves, we play against nº 73 in the Fifa ranking. Even worse: with the team that won the Copa America we didn’t score anything. Only during the second half, with Kaka and Ronaldinho, our team started to play. But just between you and me… [...]
