This insane futebol schedule has to stop.
Too many players are getting hurt.
Some of these injuries could be career ending.
The body needs to rest.
FIFA please wake the blank up and stop forcing players to play upwards of 150 matches a year without a break.
Players you need to form a union to stop this BS.
The latest example is England’s Michael Dawson blew out his knee in the 56th minute.
This injury could be career ending.
Dawson plays for Spurs.
Please stop this insanity.
Pele had a long and great career but Pele didn’t play year in and year out 24-7 three hundred and sixty days a year futebol.
Pele took at least three months off to rest.
Futebol needs a players union to protect them from the evil FIFA idiots who have set up this insane futebol schedule.
Let someone with a lick of sense give the players at least three months off too rest.
These injuries are occurring at a higher rate.
Enough said on this.
Corinthians fell behind 1-0 to Goias before scoring the next five goals to win going away 5-1.
Timao is the real deal.
Corinthians Iarley hit for the daily double.
Botafogo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Gremio came back to score two second half goals to tie this sucker up at two all.
This was a huge loss of two points for Fogao.
Vasco defeated Ceara 2-0.
Corinthians is now one point behind league leader Fluminense.
Flu has 38 points while Timao has 37.
Botafogo had a chance to cut the gap to five points instead Fogao now has 31 points.
Fluminense and Corinthians each have a game in hand.
Vasco now has 26 points.
Gigante da Colina is in seventh place.
Flamengo drops to 15th place.
Mengao has a huge match against Santo on Sunday.
Peixe is in fourth place with 20 points.
We have to win this sucker at home-Maracanã.
Flamengo is two steps above the drop zone.
Flamenguista for life.

We have arrived at the first international break of the new futebol season.
This is the stupidest idea in the world to begin play in the European Championships.
No wonder the world’s top players are breaking down all the time.
Rooney is broken. Robin Van Persie is coming off an injury. Fernando Torres is a wreck.
Why?
The world’s best players are playing 24-7 futebol.
The human body can only take so much wear and tear before it breaks down.
This is what is happening.
The best players in the world are coming off a domestic league schedule and then pile on top of that World Cup play.
Jeez, give me a break will ya.
FIFA needs their heads examined.
Give the players a break will ya.
The life of the world-class player now is what? Maybe ten years before the good old bod goes south.
Rooney can’t find the barn because he’s been playing non-stop since 2008.
Torres, Robin Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, and the rest might make it until they are in their thirties before they are force to quit to due to injuries.
FIFA wake up and change this now.
You are ruining players and the game.
Enough is enough.
Maybe it is time to form a players union to stop this bullshit.
These are my thoughts during a break in the play in the EPL.
Players unite and form a union to stop the goons at FIFA from killing you.

This is getting beyond ridicules.
This is down right scary and insane.
Mengao has not won a match since play resumed after the World Cup.
Flamengo was up to their old tricks losing to Cruzeiro 1-0.
Roberto nailed the rebounded off a wicked miss in the 9th minute.
Raposa was on the attack from the opening minute.
Lomba stopped the initial shot with a great leg whip kick save. Rebound. Block. Shot. Block. Pass. Score.
Thanks to keeper Marcelo Lomba.
He kept the score a close 1-0 loss.
The Mengao “D” sucks big time.
No striker and no “D” make for a long season.
You hire and fire coaches until the cows come home but if you don’t have the players, guess what? You lose.
We are now in 14th place with 21 points.
At this rate, Rubro-Negro will wind up at the butt end of the table by mid September.
Cruzeiro completely outplayed Flamengo.
We had a new coach in Silas.
Way to go garoto lose one for the gipper.
Globo Esporte- O Cruzeiro não tomou conhecimento da estreia do técnico Silas e nem perdoou o mau momento do Flamengo no Campeonato Brasileiro. Sobrando física e taticamente, o time mineiro perdeu um caminhão de gols e acabou vencendo “apenas” por 1 a 0, no Parque do Sabiá, em Uberlândia. O gol de Robert leva a Raposa à quinta posição, com 28 pontos, mesmo número do Inter, quarto colocado. O time colorado, no entanto, tem uma vitória a mais: 8 a 7.
Mengao is in a very difficult situation. We haven’t won since doomsday actually Flamengo hasn’t won in four matches.
To top that Rubro-Negro has the worst attack in the Campeonato scoring a whopping 14 goals.
O Flamengo, por sua vez, segue em situação difícil na competição: há quatro jogos sem vencer, os cariocas caíram para o 14º lugar, com 21 pontos. E a inoperância ofensiva, cada vez mais evidente, também se reflete nos números: com 14 gols marcados, a equipe tem o pior ataque do Brasileirão.
Up next for Mengao is Santo at home Maracanã on Sunday September 6th.
Right now Rubro-Negro is four points from the drop zone.
I am not a happy Flamenguista.

A few quick observations about the EPL as we head into a two week break.
Chelsea has not given up a goal in three matches.
The Blues are top dogs but they haven’t played anyone yet.
Chelsea has beaten up on the weak sisters of the EPL Wigan, Stoke City, and West Brom.
Two out of three sides are one step above stink.
Stoke City stinks down right bad.
My guys from Arsenal should have lost to Liverpool the opening weekend but we pulled out a great tie.
We picked up an all-important road win.
The big surprise is the way Theo Walcott is ripping the twines.
Walcott has scored big time (four goals) in three matches.
This is huge for the Gunner nation.
Andrei Arshavin has scored twice.
With RVP hurt, this means the young cats are stepping up to the plate big time.
Lets see how this plays out through the rest of the season.
Manchester United is loaded with talent and team speed.
The Red Devils are greased lightening.
The only stumble so far is a tie against Fulham.
The Cottagers have a habit of driving Sir Alex and the boy’s nuts.
The second week draw proves my point.
Fulham came back twice to tie this sucker up.
The big surprise is Dimitar Berbatov has two goals.
If he can continue to score, Man U will be unreal.
Tottenham losing to lowly Wigan was a shocker.
Spurs are in above their heads.
Tottenham will finish mid table.
Man City is team full of head cases.
City has great talent but ten-cent brains.
Mancini will struggle to find continuity with Man City.
City will finish just outside the money.
Villa looks strong.
Aston Villa will finish in the top six.
Liverpool is on the downhill slide.
The Reds will in the lower half of the table.
Newcastle will stay up n the EPL.
The Magpies have a chip on their shoulders.
Toons have a point to prove.
Newcastle might challenge for a Europa spot.
We’ll talk more about EPL later.
These are off the cuff remarks.

Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory guys.
Flamengo was in control of the match until injury time.
Guarani-SP scored two lightening quick goals in the 91st and 93rd minutes to hand Mengao a 2-1 loss in Sao Paulo.
Globo Esporte- Em um jogo com um lance duvidoso e um pênalti inexistente, o Guarani teve uma reação impressionante nos minutos finais e venceu, de virada, o Flamengo por 2 a 1, na tarde deste domingo, no Brinco de Ouro da Princesa, em Campinas, pela 17ª rodada do Brasileiro. O time carioca foi comandado pelo interino Toninho Barroso, mas observado por Silas, anunciado como novo treinador da equipe. O Bugre de Vagner Mancini reclamou muito de uma penalidade não marcada no primeiro tempo e, quando teve outra a favor, desperdiçou. Mas fez dois gols nos acréscimos e decidiu a partida, embora tenha sido dominado praticamente o jogo
This sucks big time,
I am not a happy Flamenguista.
A new coach will not help until some new players are brought in. Hey guys how about a striker or two.
Rogerio Lourenço was fired on Friday. Silas will take over the headman duties on Monday.
We scored in injury time in the first half (47th minute).
Jean’s header ripped the twines to give Rubro-Negro a 1-0 lead.
Mate Petkovic nailed a perfect corner kick to the back post.
Lomba stopped a phantom penalty in the 76th minute.
However, Mengao’s defense fell apart in injury time.
Ailson used his noggin to nail a perfectly placed ball that beat the keeper Marcelo Lomba dead to rights in the 91st minute to level this sucker up at one all.
To add insult to injury Reinaldo unleashed a rocket from just inside the box in 93rd minute to win this baby for Guarani.
The blasted caromed off of Jean’s leg.
Shoddy defense cost us the win.
Reinaldo had an easy walk in the park thru the Mengao “D” to score the winner.
The entire Flamengo team needs to be shot at dusk for crappy player.
Fire the entire team.
They stink big time.
Our slide down the table will continue until the idiots who run Flamengo are fired.
Mengao is now in 13th place.
Com o resultado, o time de Campinas está em 11º, com 23 pontos,. O Flamengo tem 21 pontos, na 13ª posição. Na próxima rodada, o Bugre enfrenta o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre, na quarta-feira. No mesmo dia, o Rubro-Negro encara o Cruzeiro, no Parque do Sabiá.
We are in the shits.
Flamenguista for life.

Three matches into the EPL season and now we have our first international break. The action resumes September 12th after a two week break.
On Sunday, Liverpool finally picked up a 1-0 win over West Brom.
Super striker for the Reds Fernando Torres scored the only match of the goal in the 65th minute.
Torres is still not a 100%. He has had two major knee operations plus a pulled hammy in Spain’s World Cup final match in July.
His score showed how great this player is. Torres shifed ball the ball and fired the volley into the back of the net.
Game, set, and match to Liverpool.
This was a huge three points for the Reds.
Aston Villa defeated Everton 1-0.
In the battle of American keepers Tim Howard and Brad Friedel, Friedel had the best of it.
Tim Howard made two lights out saves but this was not enough to over come crappy defense by the Toffees.
The score of the match came in the 9th minute.
Luke Young received a great pass from mate Ashley Young. Luke Young fired home the winner past a helpless Tim Howard.
Toffees defender Marouane Fellaini let the ball slip under his feet. Whamo, bamo turnover. Goal for Villa.
Not good Garoto.
Everton now has two losses and tie to start the season.
This could spell doom for the Toffees.
Villa on the other hand has won two out of their first three matches.
Bolton and Birmingham tied at two all.
Sunderland pulled the upset special of the day beating Manchester City 1-0.
After blowing out Liverpool, what happened?
Lose to lowly Sunderland.
Way to go Garoto.
I love it.
Sybil City is your new name.
A PK in the dying moments cost man City big time.
Choke City baby.
City’s Micah Richards decided to play American Football and tackle the Black Cats Darren Bent.
You dummy.
I love it.
We’ll talk more about this in the next few days.

Manchester United invited lowly West Ham to Old Trafford.
The host’s treated the Hammers to a shooting gallery.
Yes, my friend, the mighty boys from Old Trafford fired shot after shot after shot at West Ham keeper Robert Green.
It took a while before the Red Devils found the back of the net.
Ryan Giggs took it to the rack. Hammers defender Jonathan Spector was forced to tackle Giggs in the box. Whamo, bamo, It’s PK time. Rooney breaks his scoring drought in the 33rd minute,
This is the Wayne man’s first goal in five months.
The Hammers hung in there.
I mean, man it was rough out there for the Hammers.
This match was hard to watch.
The feeding frenzy was on.
Nani beat almost entire West Ham team in the 50th minute to make 2-nil Man U.
Juke right. Side step left. Step side right. Pause. Shift the ball to left. Fire. Bingo. Back of the net.
Nani made the entire Hammers side look ridiculous.
Berbatov added a great flying side ways bicycle kick into the back of the net in the 69th minute.
The deal was already sealed after the first goal.
The mighty boys from Old Trafford should have had a ton more goals but Hammers keeper Robert Green kept it a respectable massacre.
Man U is for real.
Chelsea and the rest better watch out.
The Red Devils have real team speed.
They can score.
The only problem is that super defender Rio Ferdinand is out.
Once he comes back watch out baby.
The other team to watch out for is my guys from Arsenal.
The young Gunners such as Theo Walcott are finding their stride.
With Walcott ripping the twines, watch out EPL.
The only bad news in Gunner land is that RVP is hurt.
Chelsea is beating up on the little old lady’s and the little sisters of the poor but let’s see what happens when the Blues get into the meat of their schedule.
Remember this Man U burned em in the Community Shield.
Last year Chelsea took it to the Red Devils.
This is a good indicator of what might be in store.

My guys from Arsenal won on the road.
This was a huge 2-1 win over the pesky Blackburn Rovers.
We did good but there were several mix-ups and sloppy “D” that could have cost us the big “W”.
Theo Walcott ripped the twines in the 20th minute to give us Gunners a 1-0 lead.
This baby was the direct result of a great counter attack.
Robin Van Persie took the ball and drove the left sideline.
Persie set up mate Walcott with a beautiful pass. All Theo Walcott had to do was deposit the ball into the back of the net.
Walcott’s rocket literally ripped the twines off the left side of net near the left post.
This was truly a rocket.
Blackburn nailed the equalizer in the 27th minute.
Rovers Hadji Diouf made the Gunners defender Laurent Koscielny look like a schoolgirl.
Wham. Bam. Diouf hands Koscielny his jock.
Hadji hits mate Mame Diouf who jams the ball into the back of the net.
I thought here we go again.
Get a crap tie on the road.
But no! My Gunners picked themselves up by the bootstraps and scored the winner in the 51st minute.
Andrei Arshavin nailed the rebound off a miss by mate Cesc Fabregas to give us the all-important road win.
The bad news is this.
Our top player Robin Van Persie left the match in the 35th minute with an ankle injury.
Headman Arsene Wenger thinks RVP will miss about ten days.
This was a huge road win for the Gunner Nation.
The biggest surprise of the day was when lowly Wigan pulled the upset city match of the day by beating Tottenham 1-0 at Spurs house-White Hart Lane.
What did I tell ya!
Spurs are in above their heads.
Tottenham didn’t play worth a crap.
Spurs key scorer Jermain Defoe is playing with an injured groin.
Peter Crouch isn’t worth a damn.
Sure, Tottenham had most of the possession but the name of the game is to put the ball into the back of the net.
Maybe Spurs should take lessons from my guys in Brasil Flamengo who couldn’t find an acorn with a GPS system.
Welcome to the real big leagues Tottenham.
This is a different animal.
Other than that business as usual in the EPL, Chelsea beat up little sisters of the poor Stoke City 2-0.
Blackpool and Fulham tied two all.
Newcastle and Wolves kissed their sister one all.
Manchester United blasted West Ham 3-0 on Saturday. We’ll talk about that more on Monday.

This is getting beyond ridiculous.
Flamengo can’t hit the broadside of a barn with a canon,a machine gun, or a howitzer.
Mengao and Atletico-MG tied nil-nil.
Globo Esporte-O time que não sabe atacar contra a equipe que não sabe vencer fora de casa. O resultado? Empate por 0 a 0, no Maracanã, e mais angústia para Flamengo e Atlético-MG na tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro.
The idiots in charge decided to get rid of Andrade. Then they lost Adriano and Vagner Love and low and behold, the offense is on life support. Better yet it has died.
We had several good chances but each time the boo-Mengao missed it by that much.
Yes, folks it was a down right offensive display.
Two goals in the last seven games are pitiful. One of them was a PK by Petkovic.
My grandmother could do better than this. She’s been dead since 1976.
Refletido em números, o caos ofensivo do Rubro-Negro tem dois gols marcados nos últimos sete jogos. E um deles de pênalti. A situação ficou quase insustentável para o técnico Rogério Lourenço. Ele deixou o gramado sob ofensas da torcida e o grito de “Fora, Rogério”.
The Flamenguistas are turning on headman Rogerio.
The real blame falls squarely on the shoulders of head idiot Patricia Amorim.
It stinks to high heaven.
My God hire a real striker not someone from the geriatric ward.
Sure Mengao finally used a striker but the cat Diogo is a has been.
This stinks.
O Flamengo, desta vez, até tinha um atacante em campo. Diogo estreou bem. Vontade, técnica, assistência linda para Leandro Amaral perder uma chance clara. Mas por trás havia um time desarrumado e que carece de saúde no seu meio-campo. Petkovic e Renato foram caricaturas dos jogadores que têm respeito e idolatria da torcida.
The hero of the match for Flamengo was the keeper Marcelo Lomba.
He made three saves that should have been goals.
One of them was a point blank shot that Lomba was able to swat away at the last possible second.
The Flamengo “D” played well for the most part however there were three times when the guys from Rubro-Negro fell asleep.
Marcelo Lomba proved to be the difference.
Mengao has 21 points.
We are hovering around mid table.
Flamengo is in tenth place to be exact.
This is not good.
As duas equipes tinham banca de protagonistas, mas depois de 16 rodadas são apenas coadjuvantes na tabela. O atual campeão está em décimo lugar, com 21 pontos, vendo o líder Fluminense (36) quase de telescópio. O Galo não larga a zona de rebaixamento e fica em 18º lugar, com 14 pontos.
If we don’t find a way score Rubro-Negro could find themselves in the heave-hoe zone.
I am not a happy Flamenguista.
Flamenguista for life.

On the brink of disaster, Tottenham exploded at White Lane to rout Young Boys 4-0 to advance to the group stage of the Champions league.
This is the first trip for Spurs in the quest of ultimate prize in club futebol-the Champions League.
It looked bleak for Tottenham after they fell behind 3-0 on the road to the Swiss side Young Boys before rallying to score two goals to make the final score a respectable 3-2.
These two away goals were of utmost importance.
Harry Redknapp had his chargers breathing firing at home.
Peter Crouch dented the nets in the 5th minute.
Jermain Defoe added a controversial goal in the 32nd minute.
Defoe controlled the ball with his arm before depositing it in the back of the net.
The Crouch Man added to more markers to complete his hat trick.
Way to go Harry me boy.
The only downer was superman Jermain Defoe needs to go under the knife to repair a torn groin.
This will set the Spurs back.
Defoe is one of the key players for Tottenham.
Let’s see how Spurs will handle the loss of a very good player.
I have a hunch Spurs will drop back to at least mid table.
The loss of Jermain Defoe hurts big time.
Now Harry and his guys will now find out first hand what it is like to juggle Champions League, EPL, Carling Cup, and FA Cup in a season.
Just ask Sir Alex, Wenger, and Carlo Ancelotti about this. These men face this year in and year out.
Welcome to the big time Harry me Boy.
This is not an easy task.
Players will play about 75 matches in a single season and this will lead to lots of wrecks.
Harry me Boy you’ll find out first hand.
You have when Jermain Defoe will miss at least a month or so.
Hats off to Tottenham for getting to the group stage of the Champions League.
Kudos.
