The snow wrecked havoc with the EPL matches on Sunday. But don’t despair for we have my favorite Brasileiro futebol to talk about.

The Copa Sao Paulo is about to wrap up the group stage. Figueirense and Juventude advanced to the next round.  Figueirense defeated Desportivo Brasil 1-0. Juventude doubled up Vila Nova-GO 2-1.

The big boys are getting ready to kick off the season. Flamengo, Sao Paulo, Palmeiras, and the rest are gearing up for the start of the Campeonato Paulista and the Copa Rio.

Duque de Caxias took on the under twenty squad from Fluminense in a scrimmage. Caxias defeated Fluminense young cats 2-1.

Caxias coach Alvaro Miranda liked what he saw from his squad in their first scrimmage of the year.

Palmeiras striker Wagner Love will be headed to Flamengo. However, Russian Club CSKA is asking compensation from Palmeiras. We will see if this baby goes through or not.

This addition will give Mengao more firepower up front.

Imagine Adriano and Love firing bullets at the goal. You gotta love it. Us Flamenguistas will be in hog heaven with this duo up front. Couple this with Petkovic and Obina this will give Rubro-Negro a deadly strike force.

Mengao headman Andrade is worried about some key losses in the Flamengo midfield. Maldonado is out with a serious knee injury.

Airton will miss most of the season because of World Cup duty for his native Chile.

This could hurt but we will see.

Coach Al plans to use Fernando Petkovic, Lenon, and Williams as midfielders. 

Fluminense took on Rio Branco is a scrimmage. Fireworks flew in this baby as Po-de-arroz headman Cuca was given the heave-hoe. Fluminense won 2-0.

Fred and Mauricio scored both goals for Po-de-arroz.

So there, you have it from the far side.

One last parting shot.

Landon Donovan’s debut with Everton was a huge success. I was pleasantly surprised. Donovan had an assist and nearly scored as well. Way to go garoto.
