Ronaldo renting his Leblon apartment to FIFA president Blatter for World Cup

Even in retirement it appears that Ronaldo has the ability to make substantial money out of the Beautiful Game after reports in the Brazilian media suggested that the former Brazil striker is to rent out his plush Rio de Janeiro apartment to FIFA chief Sepp Blatter during this summer´s World Cup.

A fee of £500,000 has been mooted for the head of global football´s stay in the plush Leblon area, said to be the most affluent in all of South America; allegedly FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke had the same plan during last year´s Confederations Cup tournament.

Ronaldo is on the committee for the World Cup and is an ambassador for the competition that is being staged in his homeland. He is often referred to as being the most gifted forward of a generation and scored a hugely impressive 62 goals in 98 games for thr Brazil national side, winning the World Cup in 2002 under current Selecao boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Fluminense win 5-0 to spare Copa do Brasil blushes

Fluminense escaped the embarrassment of an early exit from the Copa do Brasil by thumping Horizon 5-0 in the second leg of their tie, thus eradicating the 3-0 reverse in the opening fixture.

A frankly shocking first leg of the tie was forgotten about as the side from Rio de Janeiro, who have won the trophy only once, in 2007, won their final game before the start of the Campeonato Brasileiro next Saturday.

The goals came from Dario Conca, defender Gum and Rafael Sobis before half time and Wagner and Fred before the 90 minutes was up.

The result is a timely boost to Fluminense, who will be hoping to have a stronger season than in 2013, when their now-expectant fans were forced to see their team slump to a 17th place finish- only avoiding a relegation due to the controversial Portuguesa points-docking over fielding an ineligible player.

Det er faktisk befriende, at vi faktisk ser at Rio og São Paulo holdene halter i år, alt imens Rio Grande do Sul og Minas Gerias holder fanen højt. Dejligt!

Copa Libertadores last 16 fixtures announced

The three remaining Brazilian teams in this season´s Copa Libertadores have found out their opponents for the round of 16 in the competition.

After Flamengo, Botafogo and Atletico Paranaense suffered the ignomity of failing to progress past the group stages (All six of Brazil´s representatives managed to do so last term), the hopes of a Samba triumph will rest on the following:

Atletico Mineiro v Atletico Nacional

San Lorenzo v Gremio

Cruzeiro v Cerro Porteno

The Gremio fixture in particular will give the chance of some revenge for the Brazilian domestic game; opponents San Lorenzo thrashed Botafogo 3-0 on Wednesday evening to dump the Rio de Janeiro side out of the tournament by finishing bottom of their section.

The games will be played over two legs towards the end of the month and the start of May.

Atletico Mineiro beat Zamora 1-0 to remain undefeated in Copa Libertadores

Atletico Mineiro ensured that they would be defending their Copa Libertadores title as group 4 winners after a narrow 1-0 win over Zamora of Venezuela last night; striker Jo provided the three points with a goal after ten minutes.

The side from Belo Horizonte, who were without the services of Ronaldinho for the final group tie, progress to the knockout stages of the tournament with 12 points from their six fixtures- three wins and three draws meaning they are undefeated in the competition for almost a year.

Atletico, who have just announced the signing of much-travelled French striker Nicolas Anelka, must now turn their attentions to Sunday´s Mineiro 1 state championship final against national champions Cruzeiro.

Gremio ease past Nacional in final Copa Libertadores game to top Group 6

Gremio won what was effectively a dead rubber in their final Copa Libertadores Group 6 against Nacional of Colombia, winning the section by four points and remaining undefeated in the process.

The side from Porto Alegre finished the Round Robin stage of the tournament on 14 points after four wins and two draws and eased past their opponents courtesy of a penalty from Argentine striker Hernan Barcos after 13 minutes.

In a relatively otherwise low-key game, Gremio narrowly won the shots on target count five to three, with perhaps one eye on their big gaucho 1 final on Sunday against perennial rivals Internacional, where they will be bidding to win the regional championship for 37th the time.

San Lorenzo imod Gremio bliver vanvittigt.

Jeps. Glæder mig til at se pavens hold komme til Porto Alegre!;-)
