En angrebstrio med Neymar, Ronaldo "Fenônemo" og Bebeto og så med Zico bagved til at støbe kuglerne? Det var hvad tilskuerne på Arena do Grêmio fik at se onsdag aften, hvor der var "Kamp mod fattigdom". Ronaldos udvalgte slog Zidanes blå venner med 3-2

@samaba Sådan!;-)

Fedt med den kamp om fattigdom.. Zidane lavede et rigtig flot mål! Det var meget sjovt at se, Grêmio´s fans reaktion da Damião scorede hahaa

Ja, vi har fået Dida hjem.. Endelig ganske fint, nu da Marcelo Grohe ikke har den vanvittige store erfaring, når det gælder Liberadores. Desuden er det en kort kontrakt, såvidt jeg blevet orrinteret.
Grêmio´s fans er ikke glade for købet.. Men det er nok bare en overreaktion, da de tror, de vil skille sig af med Marcelo.

Desuden så går rygterne på, at CBF er igang med at udvide den Brasilianske med 22 hold, for at redde Palmerias. Lad os se om det går igennem..

Grunden til Corinthians vandt..

@KayOkay

Nej ikke endnu. Først d. 25. Influenzaen fik dog ram på mig, så har været offline i en lille uge. Udfra diskussionen herinde gør det mig bestemt ikke noget (ja jeg har lige læst alt for mange sider igennem).

God tur til USA og Brasilien, FAS.

Mit elskede Herediano tabte første kamp hjemme med 2-1. Nu bliver det sgu svært.

Ja, jeg så også velgørenhedskampen. Man skal ikke lade sig narre af Zicos tiltagende korpus, fordi der er altså stadig noget magi over ham.


Hvad mon man i øvrigt kan forvente af Lucas Moura efter PSG-skiftet?

Synes ikke, man har hørt så meget til den unge herre på det seneste, og så er han vist heller ikke helt i mental balance - i al fald skulle han være let at få op i det røde felt samt have fået "seconds thoughts" omkring PSG.
- Men han er selvfølgelig ung endnu.

Internacional og Cruzeiro spiller på lørdag om det brasilianske mesterskab for U/20-hold. Inter nakkede de forsvarende mestre fra América Mineiro med 3-1, mens Cruzeiro slog Coritiba med 1-0 i torsdagens semifinaler. Dermed får vi en gentagelse af finalen fra 2007. Inter vandt titlen i 2006 med en vis Alexandre Pato som topscorer. Det er den eneste gang, at de røde har vundet turneringen, mens Cruzeiro sluttede som vinder i 2007 og 2010. Grêmio har også vundet U/20-mesterskabet 2 gange. Det må vi hellere få med...

@FF17
Ja, det bliver spændende om Lucas slår igennem i PSG. Han blomstrede op til sidst, men var helt væk i forhold til OL. Han er et sympatisk og følsomt gemyt. Frygter lidt at Zlatan sender Lucas til at hente de bolde, som svenskeren skyder over hegnet på træningsanlægget :)

Hahaha sambafodbold, det går nok;-) må indrømme at lige præcis dét Inter-hold havde med Pato var jeg fan af. Jeg kan huske dengang jeg boede i Syd-Brasilien, vendte flere små 10-12 årige drenge på gaden og spurgte om jeg var Alexandre Pato. Hahaha..:-) Surrealistisk.

Grêmio på vej til at lande vinters største scoop?

Grêmio close in on loan move for Napoli forward Eduardo Vargas
By Josh Pedley 2012-12-20 19:06:00

Vargas was part of the Universidad de Chile that won the 2011 Copa Sul-Americana -

Grêmio are closing in on a loan move for Napoli’s Chilean forward Eduardo Vargas, and the move could be confirmed next week according to director Omar Selaimen.

Vargas, 23, made a name for himself as part of the successful Universidad de Chile side that won the Copa Sul-Americana in 2011 and earned a move to the Italian club earlier this year for around £11.5 million, but has failed to impress yet in Naples.

“Everything is on track, we have interest in Vargas and he in Grêmio,” Selaimen told Lancenet!

“We are working on it. Nothing is finalised, there is a path to be walked yet. But most things have already been covered, we have made the proposal. Let´s see, we want to close it next week.”

Italian website Tutto Mercato are speculating that Grêmio will pay around €1 million for the loan, after baulking at the €8 million wanted for a permanent deal. Vargas is just one of the big names coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo wants to bring to Porto Alegre to assist in Grêmio’s Copa Libertadores campaign.

Jeg vikarier lidt for Deportivo FAS, nu når manden er på badeferie;-)

Corinthians to pull out of Pato negotiations - report
By Tom Etherington 2012-12-20 23:24:00

Corinthians are reportedly pulling out of negotiations for Alexandre Pato after rumours of Paris Saint-Germain seeing a €30million turned down by AC Milan.

Adriano Galliani confirmed the Rossoneri have received an offer for the Seleção striker but admitted the club are yet to decide his future.

The recently crowned Club World Cup winners were said to have made a bid of €15million for Pato.

However, now there are suggestions emerging from Brazil that the the club are ready to pull out of talks.

It comes after rumours that PSG made a proposal worth €30million that Milan rejected, though there is no confirmation of this yet.

The Ligue 1 leaders had been on the verge of signing Pato last year, but the club pulled out at the last minute.

Lupo named as Atlético Mineiro´s mystery kit sponsor
By Callum Fox 2012-12-21 11:05:00

Atlético Mineiro´s mystery sponsor has been revealed as Brazilian sportswear firm Lupo who will replace previous kit sponsors Topper.

The club announced the $25m deal yesterday but were unable to reveal the identity of the sponsor until now.

Lupo´s commercial director, Valquírio Cabral Jr. said: "With Atlético-MG, we arrive at a completely different level, much higher than the clubs that we sponsored before.

“We’re talking about one of the great clubs of Brazil, who next year will compete in the Copa Libertadores, and has one of the biggest supporter bases in the country.”

In an interview with Radio Itatiaia, club president Alexandre Kalil said: "It´s one of the biggest contracts in the history of Brazilian football, of course not as big as São Paulo or Corinthians, but I doubt very much that many clubs in Brazil has a contract worth $12.5m per year.

"I´m happy and delighted. The vendor asked not us to disclose their name because they want to make a super disclosure."

Hahaha.. Så tror jeg nok, Atletico får kikset shorts til næste sæson.

Brazil set to face Italy in friendly clash
By Callum Fox 2012-12-21 10:40:00

Brazil will face European Championship runners up Italy in a friendly ahead of the 2013 Confederations Cup.

The friendly between the two nations is scheduled for March 21 in the Stade de Geneve, home of Swiss club Servette.

This will represent an early clash between the two teams ahead of their group match in the Confederations Cup in the summer.

The group match takes place on June 22 in Salvador. Brazil will be looking for a repeat of their last game against Italy, a 3-0 win in the 2009 Confederations Cup.

However, before that Brazil will be preparing for their friendly game against England on February 6 at Wembley to mark 150 years of the FA´s existence.

The two friendly games will represent chances for Brazil to climb back up the FIFA rankings as it was announced recently that the Seleção had dropped to 18th place, an all time low.

Loco Abreu confirms he will return to Botafogo in January
By Josh Pedley 2012-12-20 20:06:00

Uruguayan striker Loco Abreu has confirmed that he will return to Botafogo in January but will consider offers from other clubs for next season.

Abreu, 36, was loaned to Figueirense towards the end of last season after falling out of favour with coach Oswaldo de Oliveira, but will report for pre-season as expected and then look to make a decision on his future.

“My projection for 2013 is back at Botafogo,” he told Globo Esporte reporters in Porto Alegre, where he was taking part in the Match against Poverty friendly on Wednesday evening.

“On January 5th I will restate with the club and, if the situation does not change, I will work normally.”

The striker, who has 70 caps for Uruguay, is still under contract at Botafogo and stated that any clubs interested in him should speak to the club president.

“I have a contract with the club until 2014, those interested in having me on their team must first talk to the Botafogo president (Maurício Assumpção) because I owe much to him.

“But the doors are open for any kind of possibility.”

Botafogo coach Oswaldo de Oliveira is open to Abreu returning to the first team squad but admitted that it may be tough to play both him and Seedorf at the same time given their age.

“He plays for Botafogo, but was not playing well. Therefore, we use less frequently.

“The proposal was to use it in special moment. He preferred to exchange club. With my stay, it must adapt to what we want. I cannot deny that with Abreu and Seedorf will be very difficult to start the games, especially with the heat.

“It is a situation that needs to be well organised,” the coach told SporTV."

Zinedine Zidane: Brazil favourites to win 2014 World Cup
By Tom Etherington 2012-12-21 13:15:00

Former France international Zinedine Zidane believes that host nation Brazil are the team to beat at the 2014 World Cup.

The Seleção last won the tournament in 2002, when they beat Germany 2-0 in the final, following four previous trophy wins.

During the last two competitions Brazil, who recently re-appointed Luiz Felipe Scolari as head coach, have been eliminated at the quarter-final stages.

However, Zidane, who took part in the 10th annual Match Against Poverty in Porto Alegre on Wednesday, believes the host nation have what it takes to go all the way in two years´ time.

The 40-year-old said: "Brazil is the country of football. They are the favourites for me as they have home advantage as well as a number of very talented players.

"They have a lot of individual quality. They have excellent youngsters such as Neymar and Lucas, who are only 20 and already have plenty of experience."

fed assist af loco abreu på zidanes mål :-) Jeg håber at han skifter til Colo Colo.

Der har været lodtrækning til næste års Copa Libertadores. São Paulo og Grêmio kan godt finde iltmaskerne frem. Kvalifikationen til gruppespillet går over hhv. Bolívar og LDU Quito. Corinthians, Fluminense, Atlético Mineiro og Palmeiras er allerede placeret i en af de 8 grupper. Hvis Grêmio nakker LDU, kommer de i gruppe med Fluminense. São Paulo vil kommer i en interessant pulje med Atlético Mineiro, Arsenal de Sarandí og The Strongest.
