Great Game

I went to the game this evening. Palmeiras played a great match and is now leading the league by 6 points.

All Palmeiras fans will be cheering for Corinthians on Sunday against São Paulo. This will be a very good match.

Palmeiras paid R$100,000 for Danilo to play against his old team. Palmeiras needed to pay this much because of the contract that Danilo signed. He is still Atletico Paranaenses player.

Toninho Cecilio, director, took a very wise decision. I am glad this happened, since I was there. (:

Today, there was a very ridiculous fight between two teams of the second division . Paraná's stricker made a goal using his hand, which is not allowed in soccer. Ceará's athletes became very angry and began a fight with the other team. See the goal and the fight here.

This is something that should not happen in soccer mainly because soccer is for entertainment. I believe that fights like these are what makes families with small children not go to the stadium to see the game. Brazil should be an example since it will be hosting the 2014 world cup.

There was another strange fight between two gangs: Força Jovem Vasco and Torcida Fúria Independente. Vasco's fans stole a flag from the the rival gang and the police had to hit the fans to try to get the flag back. 52 thousand tickets were sold before the match, and the game ended Vasco 1 x 0 Guarani at Maracanã.

Last saturday,Palmeiras beat Barueri 2 x 1. Guess who scored? Vagner Love. He played an expectacular game and helped Palmeiras win the game . São Paulo also played a great game against Cruzeiro at Belo Horizonte. The goals were scored by two players that replaced two others.

São Paulo played again this Saturday, the 12th. They beat Avaí, which has been in the first positions in the tournament. This victory was very important so Palmeiras can not construct a very large lead if they beat Vitória on Sunday.

Corinthians x Santos -

Wednesday, Corinthians and Santos played a very good game. Santos scored first and Corinthians scored 2 after a lot of pressure coming from the fans. They wanted victory because Tuesday Corinthians completed 99 years of existance. The players dedicated the victory as a present to all the fans. This result was very good for Corinthains since they had tied the last game. This was only one of the 10 games this round that will be happening on the weekend.

Visit the blog on Monday to get informed about how the round was. Thanks.

Last round, Palmeiras' game against São Paulo ended up in a tie. After this great game, Palmeiras remains in first place and São Paulo in its same position. The biggest threat to Palmeiras is Goias, which has been playing very well and is only 1 point behind. Palmeiras now bought Vagner Love which is one of the best brazilian players playing in Asia. He played for Palmeiras in 2003 and 2004 and was one of the lead scorers.

Corinthians tied with Barueri, 2 x 2. That was a really bad result for both teams because if they won, they would get closer to the first teams in the overall classification.

Saturday we will have another round. Palmeiras will play at Palestra Italia against Barueri. Today, 22 thousand tickets were sold. I expect a very good game since I will be there.
