Ja tænker det er billigere i Brasilien , det alt for dyrt i Europa, særligt i England, det er nogle heftige priser i de tager for merchandise fra Sydamerika. Hvis du køber det i Brasilien slipper du også for Told problemer og alt det og forsendelser tager en helvedes tid - det tog oceaner af tid før jeg fik den her her...

bevares den skulle jo have navn og nr. på osv men den skulle jo have været en fødselsdagsgave...det blev den så ikke.

ellers tjek Ebay - der er en del brasilianske sælgere af fodbold merchandise.


Desværre ja.. Jeg ved ikke om den her side kan hjælpe?? http://www.shopusa.com/shopusa/denmark/ - muligvis kunne man bruge den som shippingadresse?? Jeg kan lige kigge på det.;-)


Jeps, Vanderlei Luxemburgo blev fyret. Han vandt INGEN titler for Grêmio i sin tid som træner og kunne ikke komme langt i Copa Libertadores. Det bliver spændende med den nye træner.. JEG DRØMMER OM RAMALHO. Bring it on!

Det lyder som en vild god ide, med en shipping adresse i USA, men det er der vel kun fidus i, hvis du handler på amerikanske online butikker ? Med undtagelse af Mexico og Colombia hvor jeg brugte USA som ende eller mellemstation, betaler du også heftige afgifter i told og transport ved at sende det over/eller til USA. så kan en fodbold trøje fra Chile snildt kom op i 170 USD og så risikerer du at skulle betale told af den i DK også...

Med mindre du har et netværk i andre latinamerikanske lande, så vil jeg anbefale du sender det direkte til Danmark. Men ideen med at have en amerikansk shipping adresse, er værd at forfølge med mindre du har bekendte i USA, hvis adresse du kan bruge.

Vedrørende Brasilien de fleste af de brasilianere jeg har handlet med på Ebay, når det kommer til indkøb af sportsrelateret ting og sager, så tilbyder de free shipping og så er det pludselig ikke så dyrt alt taget i betragtning, plus de selvfølgelig også er leveringsdygtige i, T-shirts, polos , jaquetas og det andet fan udstyr.


Alternativt kunne man forhøre sig med Samba, han er jo tit i Brasilien, du ved sende lidt penge med manden til troperne ?

Rivaldo believes Neymar could be the best in the world in two years

Former Palmeiras and Barcelona star Rivaldo believes Neymar has the talent to become the best player in the world within the next two years.

Rivaldo talked with the French language site lebuteur.com about Neymar and about his plans for the future.

When asked about seeing Neymar and Messi at the same team, Rivaldo said: “It will be great to see them play together.

Neymar has always had clear ideas and from the start said he wanted to sign with Barcelona. In a team like Barcelona, he could be the best player in the world in one or two years."

Rivaldo also praised his experience at the Catalan club, he said: “Barcelona is famous worldwide and they gave me the possibility to become well-known too.

I gave the club a lot in those five years I played there, but Barcelona also gave me a lot. Of all my experiences outside Brazil, Barcelona was the place I enjoyed the most."

The 2002 World Cup winner believes the move to Barcelona will help Neymar, he said: “At Barcelona he will find tranquility he will not have at any other team."

Rivaldo also expects to return to Barcelona one day, but in a different role, he said: “The doors of the club are open for me in the future, I think I did a lot of work in the five years I played there.

That is why returning to Spain is a possibility, even more so knowing that my family and I have Spanish citizenship.”

Return of the Selecao

Brazil had two World Cup-winning coaches up on stage ahead of the news conference for the Confederations Cup final. One, obviously, was Luiz Felipe Scolari, in full jovial "Felipao" mode, joking that he was so tense that he had "three cats inside my stomach."

The other was Carlos Alberto Parreira, the man who led Brazil to victory at USA ´94. If you caught any of the footage, you probably didn´t see him because he was actually all the way to the left of the stage, seated on an office chair with wheels, listening intently in the darkness. Had it not been for his bright white socks and the fact that he was not stroking a cat of the same color, he might have almost been a Bond villain.

Officially, Parreira is a consultant to the Selecao. Those close to the team say he is part "psychologist" -- man management hasn´t always been Scolari´s strong suit -- and part "consigliere" to Felipao. It´s probably a testament to Scolari´s folksiness and confidence that he readily accepts Parreira´s role. National team bosses -- especially ones who have already won World Cups -- tend to have egos, and that´s not always compatible with having another big-time coach around, particularly one such as Parreira who is also a World Cup winner (actually, a two-time winner: he was the fitness coach on the 1970 team).

Still, when things are going well, there´s no call for infighting. And Scolari was positively beaming.

"I don´t consider Spain great favorites," he said. "Sure, they´ve won two Euros and a World Cup and have essentially had the same team, give or take a few guys, for the past six years. That´s an advantage. But we´ll be at home, in front of these incredible fans. And, most of all, we´ve regained our credibility."

You can see where he´s coming from. Scolari replaced the much-criticized Mano Menezes in November 2012. Menezes´ Brazil had lost three times in 2012 (twice to Argentina, once to Mexico) but, more tellingly, simply didn´t play well even when they didn´t lose (a 1-1 draw with Colombia and a miserable 1-0 win over South Africa at the Morumbi in Sao Paulo spring to mind).

Scolari didn´t exactly impress in the early going, winning just one of his first six games. But all that changed at the Confederations Cup, and Brazil go into this final on the back of five straight wins.

"So many didn´t believe in us going into this tournament," Thiago Silva said after the semifinal victory over Uruguay. "In fact, many even thought we´d go out in the group stage. But now we´re in the final. And even if we weren´t, I think the positives of working closely with [Scolari] are coming to light. The biggest thing he´s given us? I´d say, apart from self-belief, it´s patience."

That, perhaps, has been the biggest difference seen at this tournament. This Brazil team, even when they don´t play well, tend not to play scared or frenetic. There´s a sense of control that emanates directly from the veterans at the back: Silva, Dani Alves, Julio Cesar.

In that environment, even the youngsters show poise, above all Neymar. He has plenty in which he can grow, but there are times when he doesn´t look 21.

"That´s because even our youngsters have experience and have faced great pressure and responsibility," Silva said. "Often that´s as important as age."

In that sense, Spain, with their five years of hegemony, are the polar opposites. They know how to win, and they know how to do it with class and a touch of humility. Ask Xavi why La Roja has dominated the game over the past five years, and his answer is simple: "Lots of talent, lots of hard work and lots of luck."

Iker Casillas, equally, was the picture of humility, talking about how Brazil put four past Italy, the same team that made Spain "suffer."

You never quite know whether they´re being genuine or, simply, polite. Or whether the scare they got against Italy -- that puny 54 percent possession for a group that lives and dies by having the ball ("we are so much more comfortable when we have it," Xavi reiterated) -- has set off alarm bells.

Some might argue that these are two sides going in different directions: Brazil on the rise, Spain on the decline.

"We´ll be playing to send the world a message," said Scolari, never afraid to play to the crowd.

But if Spain are on the slide, they´re sliding from a very high peak indeed, the kind from which you peer down on everyone else and they look the size of ants. It might take a long time for La Roja to descend to the level of everyone else. And given what´s coming through at the under-21 level, reinforcements are on the way.

As for Brazil and the message Scolari wants to send in many ways, it already left with a loud whoosh: The Selecao is back. Not back to the idealized, world-conquering, Jogo Bonito stereotype, not even back to where they were. But back to a point where they can give anyone a game, where the defensive nous, organization and mental toughness preached by Scolari (and Parreira) can keep things close enough for Neymar and the front men to break something at the other end. And that´s a formula that, thus far, has worked against every opponent in this tournament.

Will it work against La Roja? It doesn´t need to. Not on Sunday, anyway. It just needs to be ready in eleven months´ time.

Can El Tri ´B´ team reach the Gold Cup final?


FORTALEZA, Brazil – A quick glance over Mexico´s 2013 Gold Cup will reveal only one player who has amassed double-digits in caps. That would be Guadalajara´s Rafael Marquez Lugo, a striker who´s parlayed his 11 appearances in a lengthy career into exactly one goal with the national team.

In all, the team that usual Tri assistant Salvador Reyes will be coaching in the United States has just four goals in them, two of which were scored by defenders. Four debutants will search for their first appearance in the tournament, while three others have participated in exactly one game with the team. To call his team inexperienced is, quite frankly, an understatement.

Then again, that was sort of the point. The team´s average age is in the low to mid 20´s, allowing Reyes and Jose Manuel de la Torre to make judgments on up-and-coming players who were perhaps too inexperienced or left on the fringe of the Confederations Cup squad. A total of seven players on the roster were on the 2012 U-23 team that won gold at the London Olympics, offering that particular group another shot at stardom.

Players like Chivas´ Marco Fabian, Jorge Enriquez and Cruz Azul´s Javier Orozco who had tough club season will also be given a chance to redeem themselves with something on the line. Unlike prior iterations of the bi-annual Gold Cup where a Confederations Cup was not near, the winner of CONCACAF´s biggest tournament will clinch a spot in a playoff with the 2015 champ, for the ultimate possibility of participating in Russia 2017 amidst the rest of the world’s continental title holders.

Fabian and Orozco are likely starters, with the latter having to battle it out for minutes with Marquez Lugo and Club America´s Raul Jimenez, the only player on the roster who participated in the Confederations Cup (albeit racking up just 97 minutes). The battle for the starting goalkeeper spot will also be enthralling. Jonathan Orozco and Cirilo Saucedo have gotten recent cameos with El Tri during friendly matches, but Club America goalkeeper Moises Munoz is coming off a brilliant campaign and a league title, where he was anointed a hero in the final´s second leg after his injury time goal forced extra time.

As mentioned, several young players will receive opportunities to play, and special attention will be placed on both the left back and right back spots, considering the low returns that Mexico has obtained from both positions with its "A" squad in both the Confederations Cup and FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Darvin Chavez, Israel Jimenez, Adrian Aldrete and even Miguel Layun will receive opportunities on either flank, hoping to have a breakout tournament and compete for a spot with the first-choice team as El Tri continues its so far stunted and underwhelming road through the CONCACAF field hoping for a Brazil 2014 berth.

Meanwhile, other position battles that might arise from the Gold Cup squad is central midfielder. Veteran Gerardo Torrado showed that he was not up to scratch at the Confederations Cup, and with many in the media clamoring for a younger, more dynamic player to take his place, Carlos Pena of Leon and the aforementioned Enriquez will get a shot. It´s clear that Chepo de la Torre wants both offense and defense from the position, and with Torrado unable to give him the push up front that the team needs, Pena and Enriquez will be likely to fight for the opportunity to be taken seriously in future matches.

Of course, the big risk that Reyes and this "B" team face is falling flat and closing out Mexico´s underperforming summer with yet another whimper. This team, the coaching staff alleges, is the Liga MX´s cream of the crop (Confed Cup selectees notwithstanding). If it doesn´t get to the final, doubts will be raised not just of the national team’s capability, but of the strength of the domestic championship, as well.

It is, perhaps, a harsh judgment. But bitter Tri fans suffering through a long and fruitless summer won’t pity them.

Peruzzi poised for Sunderland switch

Velez Sarsfield´s Gino Peruzzi has confirmed that negotiations over a move to Sunderland are at a "very advanced" stage.

The Argentina international has long been linked with a move to The Stadium of Light as manager Paolo Di Canio looks to overhaul his squad after a disappointing 17th-place finish in the Premier League last time out.

And Peruzzi, 21, revealed that he had been encouraged by Velez general manager and former Newcastle United player Christian Bassedas to give the north east of England a serious look.

"Bassedas told me about the city, the people, that there is a lot of respect, he said something about the team. He told me that he liked to play there," Peruzzi explained to Ole.

Peruzzi is also relishing the challenge of playing in the Premier League, specifically because of the speed at which the game is played.

"It´s beautiful, especially since in my opinion it´s one of the best leagues because of the tempo played there," he continued.

"I think English football is the most competitive."

Velez vice-president Julio Baldomar had previously confirmed that two clubs are interested in signing Peruzzi.

Brave new world: mixed reactions as fans in Rio return to new, FIFA-standard Maracanã

To the uninitiated, getting around Rio de Janeiro is about as easy as solving a Rubik’s Cube. Sure there’s a passable metro system, but that only caters for the millionaires, trust-funders and unadventurous tourists who tend to populate the city’s affluent Zona Sul (South Zone). Venture west beyond the confines of Leblon or north past Rio’s financial district and you’ll soon find yourself thrust into a veritable hinterland, full of surprisingly alien rules and practices.

Here’s a case in point. Let’s say that, for whatever reason, you’re waiting at the side of the road. A stranger walks over and stands less than ten metres away. Another turns up. Congratulations, you’ve just created a bus stop. (I exaggerate, but only slightly.) There are no signs to tell you which buses pass and where they go; you have to ask someone. If that person doesn’t know, you ask someone else. Part of the reason Brazilians are so staggeringly helpful is that, in situations like this, they need to be. This is a country of enforced informational samaritanism.

Once you have a bus in mind, the next task is to squint at the oncoming traffic until it appears and wave it down before it gets away. This is easier said than done; the bus won’t always be in the lane closest to the pavement and is likely to be going pretty fast. Sometimes your best option is a kombi – a dilapidated minibus. These are rather less common since Rio mayor Eduardo Paes banned them from the South Zone, but you’ll still see the odd VW camper trundling around, seemingly fuelled only by the incessant energy of the driver’s assistant, who barks a strangely poetic list of destinations (“Cascadura, Madureira, Mercadão!”) out of the window.

Worn out yet? Then you’ve yet to experience the actual journey. Imagine being inside a washing machine (sweat is your analogue for water here) and you’ll be pretty close. No wonder public transport has been such a key issue in the protests that have swept through Brazil over the last week and a half. Anyway, the point of all this rambling is this: When you’re offered a lift in Rio de Janeiro, you bloody well take it.

(This is especially true when you’re based, as I currently am, in Barra da Tijuca. Part of the city’s ever-unfurling western sprawl, Barra is linked to the rest of Rio only by a ten-lane strip of road that recalls Miami more than it does Brazil. Admittedly, this is in part due to the names of the high-rise condominiums that pepper the area – Ocean Drive (any link to the Lighthouse Family purely accidental), Liberty Place, Summer Dream – all of which are in English.)

So it was with some relief that I hopped in the back of a car and headed to the Maracanã last week for Rio’s first taste of Confederations Cup action – the Group A match between Mexico and Italy.

It was to be the first competitive match at the historic stadium since September 2010, a fact not lost on my company for the day – João, a ludicrously fanatic Fluminense fan, and his Flamengo-supporting friend, Rafael. As we settled down for a pre-match chopp (draft beer) and galeto (spit-roasted chicken) on the wonderfully named Rua Haddock Lobo, they told me how it felt to be returning to a ground they knew so well.

“It’s the Maracanã, man!” Rafael beamed. “There’s no other way to explain it. I woke up at 3am today and couldn’t get back to sleep. I was too excited.” João concurred: “I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. The Maracanã is Rio.”

We wondered down to the stadium via a quick stop at a traditional Brazilian boteco – a cheap, cheerful bar that helps to satisfy the country’s unquenchable thirst for beer. On the menu this time was a local delicacy: fried cod balls. “These are some of the best around,” João assured me. I wasn’t arguing.

The exterior of the Maracanã was as alluring as it was the last time I visited, in 2009. Brighter and cleaner too – although you’d expect nothing less after a renovation that ended up costing a colossal R$1billion ($458million). Some incomplete building works aside, all was running like clockwork: signs were clear and plentiful, volunteers well informed.

Things were similarly slick inside. Gone were the seats with no backs, replaced by comparative armchairs. The view, from my spot at in the northeast corner at least, was stunning. In the toilets I overhead a young fan giggling with his friend: “Paper towels! This is an emotional moment!”

As the game began, there were mutterings of approval from those sat around me. (In Brazilian stadiums you don’t often have to persuade someone to share their opinions; they are usually submitted freely and loudly for the approval – or otherwise – of surrounding fans.) “It’s beautiful,” said João, with a twinkle in his eye.

The crowd was – or, to my eyes at least, looked – decidedly more middle class than it did in 2009, snapping away on smartphones and behaving genteelly. (One notable exception: a moment of petulance from Mario Balotelli prompted a terrifyingly unanimous chant of “Balotelli is gay.” This sort of homophobia is all too common in Brazilian society, unfortunately.)

That those present were for the most part merely curious rather than gripped can be partly attributed to a lack of partisanship towards either of the sides involved. But an undercurrent of scepticism began to emerge as supporters surveyed the extensive array of corporate and hospitality seating in the stadium’s middle tier.

The tickets that did go on sale to the public weren’t cheap either: a Category 3 seat for the game was priced at $52 for local fans (and more for us gringos). To put this in context, the cheapest tickets at the stadium cost around $1.50 as recently as 2005 – although admittedly for club matches. “I’m worried it’s going to be like this when [domestic football] returns: nice and clean but too expensive for the man on the street,” Rafael told me later.

This, of course, is where the renovation of the stadium – and Brazil’s World Cup preparation in general – reaches choppy waters. There is a feeling that the FIFA arenas will lead to a (re)gentrification of the game in the country; that, as Roberto Assaf put it in sports daily Lance!, “football will be controlled and watched by the elite... like it was in at the start of the 20th century.”

There are other related worries. Rafael and João bemoaned the fact that traditional displays of fandom – particularly Fluminense’s famed mosaics and the enormous flags waved in big games – would die out due to tighter regulations. The seats, too, leave little room for fans to stand and mill about as they always used to in certain sections of the ground.

A supporter sat behind me during the match also highlighted the fact that the traditional shallow Maracanã goals had been replaced by the deeper nets used in Europe. “It’s FIFA rules,” his friend sighed, which provoked a response that has been fairly common in these parts of late: “Fuck FIFA.”

This is all particularly painful because, perhaps more than any other ground, the Maracanã has always been the stadium of the people. With its plentiful seating and heavy workload (both Flamengo and Fluminense have called it home for long periods of their history; Vasco da Gama and Botafogo have been frequent tenants), it is has provided joy and respite to millions of Brazilian fans during its 53-year history. If the beach is Rio de Janeiro’s most democratic public good, the Maracanã has never been far behind.

Last Sunday the crowd was at its loudest when singing a well-worn Maracanã favourite, Domingo Eu Vou Ao Maracanã. But while the song, made famous by the Beija-Flor samba school, used to be belted out with pure joy, the sentiment this time was rather more bittersweet.

“On Sunday I’m going to the Maracanã
to cheer for the team I support!
I’ll take fireworks and flags.
There will be no messing around.
We’re going to be the champions!

I don’t want a seat with a number!
I’ll stay in the standing area
to feel more emotion!”

It may be too early to draw concrete conclusions about the long-term effects of the World Cup on football at the Maracanã. But if my trip to the stadium was anything to go by, feelings will be mixed as Brazil embraces FIFA’s vision of modernity.

Tabárez: "Debemos ser intensos"

SALVADOR -- El seleccionador uruguayo, Óscar Washington Tabárez, afirmó el sábado que Uruguay e Italia, que definirán el tercer puesto de la Copa Confederaciones en el estadio Fonte Nova, de Salvador, tenían condiciones para ir a la final del torneo que disputarán Brasil y España.

"Esperamos un partido muy difícil y necesitamos ser intensos", declaró Tabárez en una rueda de prensa en el estadio Fonte Nova, después de un entrenamiento a puertas cerradas en la cancha del Pituaçu, otros de los escenarios futboleros de la capital del nororiental estado de Bahía.

Para Tabárez, "se van a enfrentar dos equipos que juegan el tercer puesto por no haber aprovechado sus oportunidades para meterse en la final, pero que perfectamente podrían haber estado allí, más allá de que los resultados en el fútbol son inapelables y hay que felicitar a los que van a jugar la final".

"Para mí es muy importante este partido, no sólo por el honor de estar en el podio del torneo, sino por aprovechar una nueva oportunidad que tenemos de volver a enfrentar a una escuadra de la elite del fútbol mundial", destacó el técnico.

El Maestro valoró la participación con protagonismo de Uruguay en recientes competencias internacionales, como la Copa América de Argentina y el Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010 y la "convivencia" del grupo en ese tipo de torneos.

"Por la mentalidad que tiene este grupo, la idea siempre será ganar. Es el objetivo que nos proponemos", resaltó el entrenador, que descartó alguna estrategia particular con los jugadores para evitar una expulsión ante Italia, que sería purgada en la próxima jornada de la eliminatoria mundialista, ante Perú.

"No hemos tenido una charla de ese tema pero los jugadores están al tanto de que una expulsión acá se paga en Perú y de que las amonestaciones no se acumulan. No hay nadie que esté en una condición diferente a los demás y para todos es igual. Confío mucho en la profesionalidad de los futbolistas", detalló.

No obstante, Tabárez aclaró: "No digo que no me preocupe, porque esto es fútbol y hay muchos imponderables o muchas circunstancias que pueden hacer que un futbolista sea expulsado aún cuidándose, pero esperamos que eso no ocurra".

El delantero Edinson Cavani, máximo artillero en la última temporada de la Liga italiana con el Napoli, participó también de la rueda de prensa y expresó que ante los italianos "será un partido duro", a pesar de que muchos jugadores del rival están lesionados.

Cavani admitió que los "rumores" que circularon dentro de la Copa Confederaciones sobre una posible transferencia a un club grande de Europa "interfieren un poco" en su desempeño.

Italia perdió el jueves en Fortaleza por 7-6 ante España, después de un 0-0 en 120 minutos de juego, en la definición desde el punto penalti, mientras que Uruguay cayó el miércoles en Belo Horizonte, por 2-1, en la otra semifinal frente al anfitrión Brasil.
