Ronaldo is out for at least five weeks. He broke his hand in Sunday’s match against Palmeiras. I hate to say I told you so but “NA, NA, NA.” He is getting old and his body is breaking down from all the wear and tear from playing top-flight futebol all these years.

Ronaldo is coming off of three knee surgeries. That last one should have forced him to retire but God was watching over Ronaldo.

This is too bad. He was having a great season. He has scored eight goals in fourteen matches in the Campeonato do Brasil. 

The other outcast Adriano has nine goals in fourteen matches.

Who would have thunked it two old men sitting a top the leader board of goal scorers.

Not in this lifetime.

Adriano’s teammate Emerson has scored six goals. Imagine this two Flamenguistas in the three goal scorers in the league.

Great “O” for Flamengo but no “D.”

Flamengo has scored 20 goals however they have given up 22 for a minus 2-goal difference. That’s not good. That &&%%$#.

Flamengo has a huge match coming up Thursday July 30^th against league leader Atletico-MG at home in Maracanã.

This is another one of those must win situations.

Atletico-MG has 28 points.

The “D” and the “O” have to show up on Thursday or it will be a long night.
