This is really getting nuts in Campeonato Brasil. The bottom feeder teams are cleaning the top clubs clocks. I think this is really cool and funny as all get out. Palmeiras had a chance to get more separation from second place Tricolor and third place Internacional but no such luck. Verdao goes out and loses to eighteenth place Nautico 3-0 in Recife.

Yes, it was as bad as it looked.  

Nautico struck in the sixth minute. Irenio wove his way through Palmeiras “D”. He fired a low shot that rebounded off the keeper and into the waiting feet of Luiz Claudio. Claudio knock home the winner low left to give Nautico a 1-0 lead. Marcus was as helpless as a little baby on this puppy.

Three minutes before half Carlinhos Bala took it to the rack. He deeked right and laid off a perfect pass to teammate Bruno Mineiro. Verdao’s keeper Marcos hands Mineiro his jock and says you need this more than me. Bam. Mineiro’s walk in goal gives Timbu a 2-0 lead after forty-two minutes.

Timbu puts the icing on the cake in the fifty-second minute. Irenio was at again. This time he weaved his way inside the box. Irenio let fly with a great pass to Bruno Mineiro. Mineiro out leaped the Verdao defenders and noodles home the winner for a 3-0 Nautico lead.

Turn out the lights the party’s over Palmeiras gets their lunch handed to them by lowly Nautico.

Timbu completely outplayed Verdao the entire match. Can you say Palmeiras phoned in the match. Yep. That’s what happened. This is why they got their butts cleaned out.

Goias had chance to move up the table as well but they failed miserably. Goias and Sport tied one all.

Atletico-MG could have leaped frogged into second place but no these clowns lost to Cruzeiro 1-0.

Botafogo may have saved their season with a two all tie with Avai.

Santos and Vitoria fought to a zero-zero tie.

This is getting to be really ridiculous. Palmeiras could have been eight points up on second place  Tricolor and nine points on Internacional but now Verdao is hanging on to a five point lead over Sao Paulo and six points over third place Internacional. Atletico-MG is fourth place with 47 points. Goias is in fifth place with 46.

Rubro-Negro is in sixth place with 45 points.

Mengao is nine points off the pace. There is hope that Flamengo can continue this run up the table.

Do you remember what I wrote maybe three weeks ago outlining how the top teams must go into a huge tailspin and if this happens and Rubro-Negro goes on a hot streak Mengao can sneak into the Campeonato race. I hate to say this but I told you so. This is exactly what is happening. I must have ESPN I mean ESP.

Way to go garoto.

Botafogo is now three points clear of the drop zone. Fogao is currently in sixteenth place with 32 points. Santo Andre is in seventeenth place 29 points. You can almost stick a fork in Fluminense and Sport chances of climbing out of the I am outta here zone. Both clubs had 25 points apiece. Not good.
