De Futebol
The seventh round of the campeonato is in the books. Corinthians and Ceara each have 18 big ones. Corinthians is the top dog due to a better goal difference. Timao is a plus seven while Vovo is a plus six.
Flu is in third place with 15 points after a one all tie with Gremio Barueri.
Santos, Guarani-SP, Flamengo, Cruzeiro, and Palmeiras each have 12 points.
Santos is fourth spot with a plus four-goal difference.
Cruzeiro and Flamengo are for fifth with a plus two.
Palmeiras has a plus two as well but both Cruzeiro and Flamengo have scored 10 goals compared with Verdao’s eight goals.
Sao Paulo sits in ninth spot with 11 points.
The biggest disappointment is Vasco.
Gigante de Colina fought like hell in 2009 to get back to the Campeonato but now they are stinking the joint out.
Vasco is 19th place with six points.
The surprise side is Fluminense.
Last year Po-de- arroz hovered near the bottom of the table.
Flu was almost given the heave-hoe.
Now Po-de-arroz is in third place.
Kudos to Fluminense on a great start to the campaign.
Rubro-Negro needs help.
Hopefully the offer made to Milan to only pay them the salary and not pay Milan the opt out clause.
The supposed buyout is worth ten million.
UOL put it this way-Após uma primeira negativa do vice-presidente do Milan, Adriano Galliani, a negociação de Ronaldinho Gaúcho com o Flamengo pode ganhar novo capítulo. De acordo com o diário Corriere dello Sport, o jogador chega a Milão no próximo sábado acompanhado pelo irmão e agente, Assis, que deve enfim levar uma proposta oficial do clube carioca. Especula-se que o valor oferecido pelo Flamengo seja de aproximadamente 10 milhões de euros.
Milan officials thought this was a joke.
Na quinta-feira, Galliani ironizou o interesse flamenguista em contar com o jogador. “Flamengo? Nunca deu sinal de vida. Não levo em consideração hipóteses absurdas. Ronaldinho é do Milan e jogará a próxima temporada no Milan”, disse.
We will see.
The Flamengo nation needs another striker.
