Who better then FIFA to expect something great from the greatest? I just read this article after it was translated from the FIFA website and published in a Brazilian blog that writes texts about Flamengo and here I come with the original stuff.
Can you fell it?

Sometimes I have the feeling that I am not making my point here. Of course; English is not my mother language and despite having studied it for years I know I’ll never be as good as you guys are, even if I study English for the rest of my life. So, to make it easier to understand, I’ll show you the league tables to explain the current situation of the Brasileirão.
Keep in mind that Flamengo and São Paulo have three matches left and that Palmeiras has only two.
Theoretically these are the title and Libertadores contestants. São Paulo and Flamengo will struggle for the title, say the critics and there is a great chance that Flamengo finishes next round in first position. I’ll show you why. Read the rest of this entry »
Two points and four matches from glory

And we are back (Flamengo and I)! Last time I wrote here was our day, but St. Jude Thaddeus seemed to be in a bad mood and Flamengo lost the match that night. But after 11 unbeaten matches, you will have to agree with me that it was very possible that Flamengo would be defeated.

October 28. St. Jude Thaddeus – one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus – feast day. In the Roman Catholic Church he is considered the saint of desperate cases and lost causes; therefore, he is the patron saint of Flamengo. When Flamengo is in need of something, the board goes to the Igreja de São Judas Tadeu (St. Jude Thaddeus Church) and there they pray for those things they want – usually, not to be relegated, a title, or even a blessed new shirt.

Nelson Rodrigues was a brazilian dramatist – also a journalist and writer. He was born on August 23, 1912 in Recife. He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1916 and there lived under the influence of his journalist father, working since he was 14, covering the police beat for his father’s newspaper. By 15 he dropped out of school and by 16 he already had his own column. But in a couple years his family’s business would fail. His dad died and he and his brothers had to seek work at rival newspapers.

Friday videos (1)

Alright. I’m starting now a section I will call Friday Videos. Every Friday I am going to post (at least I’ll try to) some videos here so you can have a great weekend and I hope it will inspire our players.
This first video is from the match known as the start of our most glorious time. Flamengo had a great team but never took the championship. Zico crossed from a corner kick and Rondinelli headed to the goal, scoring the championship goal and beginning Flamengo’s golden age. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow I will be on the road heading to my hometown, but I don’t want to leave an old post here and I know you guys from Europe are already asleep. So, in addition to this post I will write other one and schedule it. Well, I don’t know if I can call it writing, but I will embed some videos here.
Northeastern shame?

As I said, a tie, but not as I was hoping Vitória scored 3 times. Bruno had a not so good presentation and our defensive players were kind of sleepy. But man, even with Adriano out we scored three times, the last goal being at the 90th minute. Read the rest of this entry »

That tonight’s gonna be a good night. Well. Not on a Black Eyed Peas way of good night. I don’t expect a victory, but having in mind that we had a clean sheet for the last 6 matches, I expect another tonight, and even though we are going to face our inglorious brothers who never honored the red and the black, we will play in their stadium. We played against them 50 times, winning 31 matches and losing only 8. But I wouldn’t be so surprised if we win. Read the rest of this entry »
