Grêmio eu te dou a vida

oque nós queremos é ser campeão.

Hehehe nu nr 4 og foran Internacional....


Copa Sudamericana

Oriente Petrolero (Bolivia) - Guarani (Paraguay) 1-2

På Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera i Santa Cruz tog de lokale helte med træner Edwin Platini Sánchez i spidsen (Nogen husker muligvis Sánchez som frisparksspecialist i Boavista i 90´erne) mod Guarani fra Paraguay. Los refineros havde et godt udgangspunkt inden returkampen eftersom de havde besejret paraguaynerne med 1-0 i Asuncion i den første kamp. - Men tog mål af gæsternes uruguayanske spillere Sergio Ortemnan og Dante López vendte kampen på hovedet op på trods af Danilo Carando´s midlertidige udligning - kvalificerede paraguayanerne sig til næste runde.

I Puerto Ordaz fuldente hjemmeholdet overraskelse ved også her at besejre det colombianske hold og dermed bliver hvad der ligner den eneste repræsentant for venezuelansk fodbold i næste runde. colombianerne kom foran med Carmelo Valencia , men Jose Vallenilla og Alejandro Guerra sikrede sejren for La Pandilla del Sur

Brasserbold:
Atlético Mineiro er tilbage i førertrøjen i Serie A efter 1-0 over Coritiba. Ronaldinho Gaúcho spillede en fin kamp og stod fadder til den enlige scoring. Fluminense holder presset på de foranliggende Vasco og Atlético med 2-1 sejren over São Paulo. Fred og Leandro Ezébio scorede for Flu, mens Cícero kom på tavlen for gæsterne. Ponte Preta og Grêmio spillede 0-0 i en jævnbyrdig affære. Grêmio er stadig i Top 4, men det havde pyntet med en sejr i Campinas.
Der er lækkerier i weekenden på TV2 Sport. Lørdag vises Bahia-Cruzeiro kl. 23.30, og om søndagen er der topbrag kl. 21.00 mellem Atlético Mineiro og Vasco. Nå ja, så er der også en OL-finale lørdag kl. 15.00. Mexico-Brasilien kan ses på DR1.

Bad boy Garrincha remembered

The grave is in a country cemetery about an hour´s drive from Rio de Janeiro, a simple slab of grimy concrete squeezed between fancier tombs.

The epitaph says only: "Here rests in peace the one who was the Joy of the People -- Mane Garrincha."

It is a humble resting place for one of the great soccer players of all time but then Garrincha was always true to his roots. He was also one of soccer´s original bad boys and his life is a cautionary tale for today´s misbehaving celebrities.

Garrincha fathered at least 14 children by several women, had a scandalous affair with a pop singer, killed his mother-in-law in a car crash, squandered his money and drank himself into an alcoholic´s grave in 1983 at the age of 49.

He also delighted fans from South America to Scandinavia and played a crucial role in Brazil´s 1958 and 1962 World Cup victories. Brazil never lost when he and Pele played together.

"The club, Botafogo, really should build something better here," said cemetery worker Jorge da Souza, who remembers that the funeral crowd was so great that gravestones were smashed.

Garrincha´s story is back in the public eye just now.

A movie "Garrincha -- Estrela Solitaria" (Solitary Star), is set to go on release in Brazil. In Britain, Ruy Castro´s book "Garrincha -- the Triumph and Tragedy of Brazil´s Forgotten Footballing Hero" has just been published in English.

"The people talk about King Pele. No, the king is Garrincha," said his old friend Malvina, now aged 71 and still living in Pau Grande.

LITTLE BIRD

Garrincha was born Manuel dos Santos in this factory town nestled among lush mountains. He had crooked legs, one shorter than the other, and the world came to know him by his childhood nickname, which means "Little Bird."

He played for the factory team before Botafogo spotted him. He left behind his wife and young family but took a girlfriend with him to Rio. Barely literate, he signed a blank contract.

His life was then the proverbial game of two halves -- the glory years then a sad decline as personal problems, drink and injury brought him to ruin.

The fans adored him from the start as he waltzed past defenders with his dribbles down the right wing.

"He played for the joy, he played for love," Malvina said, sitting outside his cabin in shorts and vest. "Garrincha could drink the night before and go and play the next day in the Maracana stadium. After the match, back here for a drink.

"Can you see David Beckham going back to his hometown on Saturday night to play with his mates?" said Andrew Downie, a journalist who translated Castro´s book. "You went to see him play because you knew he would entertain you."

His greatest triumphs were in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden and the 1962 tournament in Chile. In 1958, the Brazilians met the mighty Soviet Union in the group stage. In what some writers have called the greatest three minutes of soccer ever, Brazil attacked from the start with Garrincha leading the charge.

They scored after three minutes, won 2-0, and went on to beat Sweden in the final to become world champions.

STORMY AFFAIR

Four years later, with Pele sidelined by injury, Garrincha was again the star of the show as Brazil won a second World Cup.

As the naked players celebrated in the dressing room, a sultry Brazilian singer named Elza Soares walked in and embraced Garrincha in the shower, thus beginning a stormy affair that lasted for more than 15 years.

While the couple lived in Rio, Garrincha´s wife and growing family were back in Pau Grande. It turned many Brazilians against him and over the next few years, the rot set in.

Botafogo insisted on playing him even as injuries began to take a toll. His consumption of cachaca -- a sugarcane liquor -- became constant. Money troubles added up as he failed to secure lucrative terms.

Neighbours in Rio´s posh Urca area harassed him and Elza. The pair were attacked when they visited Pau Grande. When a military dictatorship took over Brazil, the couple moved to Rome after a vigilante squad visited their house.

In 1980, Rio´s Mangueira samba school put him on its carnival parade float. In an episode that features in the film, a shocked nation watched on television as an alcohol-numbed figure in a yellow Brazil shirt sat there oblivious to all around him.

A few years later he was dead.

Garrincha, though, will always remain a people´s player.

"He never forgot where he came from. They love Pele but they don´t identify with him," Downie told Reuters.

Pau Grande seems to have forgiven Garrincha his transgressions. A bust sits in the square and the soccer field bears his name, with a few old photographs of him hanging inside the scruffy bar.

"He was a simple guy, he didn´t have a nasty thought," said local carpenter Zaza. "Another Garrincha has never been born."

Har TV2 Sport sendt brasiliansk fodbold igennem længere tid? Opdagede det selv igår (Fluminese - Sao Paolo) - fantastisk! Hvordan ser I kampen mellem Atlético Mineiro og Vasco? Jeg ser, og har ikke set, særligt meget brasiliansk fodbold, hvilket jeg dog gerne vil ændre, så muligheden til at se et absolut topopgør skal da udnyttes. Ronaldinho må vel formodes at spille? Atlético Mineiro eller Vasco?

@DFAS
He he. Det ser dog ikke helt godt ud, :< - vi burde ha taget 3 point i Campinas, men de er nu velplaceret i tabellen. Ponte Preta så dog stabile ud i forsvaret og gav intet.
Det bliver dog skidt. Inter møder den sort´ bro i næste runde hjemme og vi skal endnu en tur til São Paulo, for at møde Rógerio Ceni & co.
Vi har det altid svært mod dem. Hvis Ceni scorer et frisparksmål, så bider jeg min egen hat.
Tror nok at jeg fik drukket lidt for meget igår. faldt i søvn med computeren tændt ved siden af min pude. Så går der altid lidt stemning i lejlighed.

dobbel post. woohoo.
nånå, nu hvor samba snakkede lidt om futsal, så kan vi da lige nyde verdens bedste futsal spiller, Falcão:

@VCC
TV2 Sport lagde ud i februar med den regionale liga i São Paulo og har heldigvis fortsat med kampe fra den landsdækkende række. Søndag bliver en lækkerbisken med topkampen Atlético Mineiro-Vasco. Du har ret mht Ronaldinho, som spiller for Atlético-MG sammen med Jô og de 2 finurlige Bernard og Danilinho på kanterne. Vasco har bl.a. frisparkskongen Juninho, topscorer Alecsandro og problembarnet Alberto Carlos på holdet. Det bliver stort :)

@FAS
Ser at du holder fanen højt i Damião-tråden :) Har du hørt om Dener? Lige som brasserne snakker om Garrincha som den bedste, så kører historierne også om Deners store talent. Han døde desværre i en trafikulykke i en alder af 23 år, men han vurderes til at være et af de største talenter i brasiliansk fodbold nogensinde. Fart, teknik og kreativitet, tudo incluido.

@éMeuGrêmio
Du havde elsket Dener. Han spillede en kort periode i Grêmio med hvem han vandt gaucho-mesterskabet 93. Senere fik han dog ambitioner og skiftede til Vasco ;-)

Hej Drenge...Velkommen tilbage VCC ! :-)

Samba - hehehe jaeh syntes nu ofte at Brasiliansk fodbold undervurderes pga manglende eksponering i Europa - men så er det godt vi har TV2 Sport - Iøvrigt ham Danilinho - tror faktisk har jeg har "mødt" ham i Mexico har han ikke spillet i Tigres og i Chiapas ?...Dener siger mig et eller andet var det ikke Vasco da gama og landsholdspiller ?

hvorfor lod Vasco egentlig Diego Souza gå her i sommer ? - det er da lidt af en svækkelse....


emeugremio - det lyder som en god fest du har holdt hehehe - det er nok ikke helt umuligt at få et point mod Sao Paulo - O tricolor gaucho har ihvertfald fået en meget bedre start end i statsmesterskabet - er sikker på de ender over internacional i tabellen til slut - hvis ikke det bliver en rio-klub der vinder så håber jeg på Gremio (har stadigvæk halstørklædet)

Så lidt opdateringer...der blev spillet et par kampe i de sydamerikanske ligaer i nat.

i Peru blev 29 runde afsluttet med kampen mellem Universidad Deportivo San Martin og Union Comercio, en kamp San Martin vandt med 1-0 på mål af indskiftede Juan González Vigil.
