Mengao is jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Flamengo pulled a rabbit out of their hat to achieve a one all tie with Botafogo.

This tie kept us just above the heave-hoe zone.

Fogao struck first.

Lucio Flavio dialed up a long-range bomb in the 35^th minute.

He launched a perfect strike that flat out beat keeper Marcelo Lomba.

Here we go again.

Flamengo is headed to the you’re outta here zone.

In the 75^th minute Botafogo did the dumbest thing in the world.

A foul in the box.Petkovic took the PK. Clang off the keeper Jefferson. Rebound. Score! Leo Moura nailed the one timer past Jefferson.

This was a much-needed point.

Mengao is still in 15^th place with 30 points.

We are four points away from being sent packing.

Com o resultado, o Flamengo segue vendo de perto o fantasma do rebaixamento, o time tem 30 pontos, no décimo quinto lugar. Além disso, o técnico Silas, que sequer comemorou o gol de empate de sua equipe, segue ameaçado no cargo. Já o Alvinegro está em sexto lugar, com 42 pontos.

After the match, Zico and headman Silas were given the heave-hoe.

UOL-A saída de Zico já era um prenúncio de uma acentuação na crise instalada no Flamengo. Situação que poderia ser agravada com uma derrota para o Botafogo. Porém, após jogada infantil de Alessandro, o Rubro-Negro arrancou um empate por 1 a 1 e complicou o sonho do Alvinegro de disputar a Copa Libertadores de 2011. Lucio Flavio, em cobrança de falta magistral, e Leonardo Moura marcaram os gols deste sábado, no Engenhão, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.

Luxemburgo is expected to be the next coach- UOL-O que já era esperado desde quinta-feira se consumou nesta segunda. O técnico Silas, sem o respaldo do ex-diretor executivo Zico, acabou demitido pela diretoria rubro-negra. Vanderlei Luxemburgo, que recentemente foi mandado embora do Atlético-MG, é o mais cotado para assumir o cargo. A decisão já tinha tomada e o treinador foi comunicado após uma reunião com a presidente do clube, Patrícia Amorim.

Monday October 4^th UOL wrote that Luxemburgo will be the next coach.

A diretoria do Flamengo espera fazer o anúncio oficial da contratação do técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo ainda na noite desta segunda-feira. Os últimos detalhes do acerto estão sendo costurados pela presidente Patrícia Amorim e seus pares

Flamengo stunk the joint out in a 1-0 loss at Pacaembu against Corinthians.

This was worse than pathetic.

It was down right horrible.

Globo Esporte was very kind to Flamengo- Não teve o mesmo sabor ou valor de um triunfo pela Libertadores, mas os corintianos deixaram o Pacaembu com uma pontinha de gosto de vingança. Diante de um Flamengo inexpressivo no ataque, diferente daquele que calou o mesmo estádio há três meses com Adriano e Vagner Love, o Timão dominou amplamente o “Clássico do Povo” e venceu por 1 a 0. Elias, em um belo chute da entrada da área, marcou o único gol do jogo (assista aos melhores momentos no vídeo ao lado).

Corinthians remained one point behind league leader Fluminense.

O resultado faz o Corinthians chegar aos 28 pontos, apenas um abaixo do Fluminense, que derrotou o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre. O Timão mantém o ótimo retrospecto jogando no Pacaembu nos últimos meses. A última derrota aconteceu em novembro do ano passado, quando foi batido pelo Náutico, também pelo Brasileirão.

Timao has 28 points.

Flu has 29 big ones.

This was a close affair. Sure, Timao had a difficult finding the back of the net but Mengao was worse.

Flamengo maybe mounted two at most three serious attacks but other than that it was lets play paddy cake with Corinthians.

The only marker came in the 38^th minute.

Elias wove his way thru three Flamengo defenders at the top of the box.

He stopped at the half moon and fired.

Elias fired a low ball that beat keeper Marcelo Lomba to the right post.

Game, set and match to Timao.

Flamengo’s winless streak is at four games.

Mengao has scored a whopping two goals in their last four matches.

O Flamengo não consegue quebrar a série ruim. Acumula agora quatro partidas sem vencer e caiu para a 10ª colocação, com 17 pontos, mais distante da zona de classificação para a Libertadores. Para piorar, o ataque formado por Val Baiano e Borja não engrena e já enfrenta a ira da torcida. Foi o terceiro jogo consecutivo sem o Rubro-Negro balançar as redes.

Since July 14^th Flamengo has scored a mega three goals in six matches.

We have two wins, two losses, and two ties.

This Bullshit will not suffice.

We find ourselves in tenth place with 17 points.

The idiot for a Prez Patricia Amorim let our two best attackers go- Adriano and Love.

This is dumb.

It was worse than dumb.

It is stupid.

If Mengao does not right the ship, we will wind up dead last.

This sucks big time.

I can’t believe this garbage coming out of Flamengo. Mengao signed an over the hill striker Leandro Amaral. He’s been hurt since 2009 with a bum knee.

Amaral hasn’t scored since November 2008.

Globo Esporte wrote these gems of wisdom- Uma das apostas da diretoria do Flamengo para resolver os problemas do ataque rubro-negro, o atacante Leandro Amaral foi apresentado oficialmente como jogador do Flamengo na tarde desta terça-feira, na Gávea. Afastado dos gramados desde julho de 2009 após sofrer uma grave lesão no joelho direito, o jogador agradeceu ao clube e, particularmente, a Zico, diretor executivo, la chance de poder voltar a atuar. O atacante vai vestir a camisa 33, em alusão à idade que completará na próxima sexta-feira e em homenagem aos filhos trigêmeos.

Jeez guys, why not get a guy in a wheelchair.

Amaral is coming off of an arthroscopy that turned into a wicked infection. This dude is barely able to walk.

Leandro foi submetido a uma artroscopia no joelho direito em 2009, cuja previsão inicial dos médicos era de retorno em cerca de um mês. Mas por conta de uma infecção causada por um fungo (Candida Albicans), o tratamento durou seis meses (sendo dez dias de internação e seis semanas com um cateter para receber fortes antibióticos). Na apresentação na Gávea, o jogador foi às lágrimas ao comentar toda a demora na recuperação. Até pelo fato de temer pelo pior e não conseguir voltar a jogar.

This is stupid.

Spend the money to get Ronaldinho Gaucho.

Patricia Amorim get real. Lets go back in the not to distant past and recall when Rubro-Negro hired Adriano.

This was a huge success.

The Emperor led Mengao to the 2009 Campeonato title.

This clown Leandro Amaral won’t.

I will bet dollars to holes in doughnut this will be a bust.

Flamengo is hovering just above mid table.

We haven’t scored a goal in two straight matches.

That’s 180 plus minutes without scoring.

Hire a real striker not a fake one.

Please, I am begging you.

Fluminense is a top the table with 26 points.

Corinthians is in second place with 25 big ones.

Internacional is third place because Colorado has six wins compared to Ceara’s five wins. Both sides have 20 points apiece.

Flamengo has a huge match with Timao on Sunday at Pacaembu.

We need to win this sucker.

Losses and ties are out of the question.

Flamenguista for life.

By the way Patricia Amorim and the crew have shit for brains.

Corinthians is top dog.

Timao defeated Atletico-MG 1-0.

Ceara lost to Internacional 2-1.

The loss dropped Vovo to third place.

Fluminense got by Santos 1-0.

The win vaulted Flu to second place in the table.

Corinthians has 21 bad boys.

Po-de-arroz has 19 points.

Ceara has 18 points.

Flamengo moved up one spot to fourth place with 15 points.

The race is on.

Sao Paulo has almost dropped outta sight.

Tricolor is buried in 13^th place.

Vasco is still in the danger zone.

Gigante de Colina is in 17^th place with nine points.

It is still very early in the season to ring up the white flag however; nine matches into the season there are some trends.

Timao started out very strong last year but by the end of the 2009 season Corinthians wound up in tenth place.

This year will be different for Timao.

Corinthians is strong this year.

Timao has more pieces in place and this will make them very dangerous.

All one has to do is look at the results.

Six wins, three draws, and zero losses.

Flamengo seems to have found a diamond in the rough with keeper Marcelo Lomba. Lomba has been playing lights since the murder Bruno was sent to prison.

The loss of Bruno, the drug addict Adriano, and Love may have motivated Petkovic and the rest to show us how good they can be.

Mengao has controlled the two last to matches.

Flamengo is now dictating the tempo and flow of the match thus forcing opponents to play our style of play.

This is upbeat and attacking.

Rubro-Negro needs another striker.

Other than Mengao is on the right path.

On Wednesday, Flamengo battles third place Avai.

This should be a battle royal.

Flamengo is at home Maracanã.

Home cooking has been bad for us.

I have to admit I was very surprised that Mengao pulled out a huge 1-0 win over Botafogo at Maracanã.

This sucker was huge.

Paulo Sergio nailed the match winner in the 69^th minute.

A wicked penetration into the box by Petkovic set this puppy up. He made a sweet pass to mate Vinicius Pacheco. Pacheco dished the cheeky pass off to Sergio. Sergio deposited the ball into the naked net.

Game, set, and match to Rubro-Negro.

This gave us 12 points.

Flamengo moved up into a tie with Cruzeiro fro fifth place.

Corinthians and Ceara tied nil-nil.

We are only six points outta first place.

This was a huge win.

Botafogo-Flamengo is a huge clássico in Rio de Janeiro.

Overall, Mengao played well without Adriano, Love, and Bruno.

Bruno’s replacement Marcelo Lomba did very well in goal. He made several acrobatic saves. Lomba also saved Mengao’s bacon at three times.

I will give him a B plus for effort.

President Patricia Amorim said this was good news for the Flamenguista nation. This win brought us some joy.

Globo Esporte- “O Flamengo precisa de boas notícias”. A frase da presidente Patrícia Amorim teve repercussão nos jogadores na noite desta quarta-feira. Em jogo de muita aplicação e uma pitada de talento de Petkovic, o Rubro-Negro superou o favoritismo do Botafogo e venceu por 1 a 0, no Maracanã. O gol da vitória foi de Paulo Sergio, no segundo tempo, após excelente passe do sérvio.

A vitória devolve um pouco da alegria perdida na Gávea após a prisão do goleiro Bruno. Nos dias que antecederam o jogo, tanto Patrícia quanto o diretor-executivo Zico ressaltaram a necessidade de vitória para desviar o noticiário das páginas policiais. Foram atendidos.

In reality, the win took the attention off of the murder Bruno who is now in jail awaiting trial.

Youngster Diego Mauricio and Vinicius Pacheco took a while before the duo began to click but once they did this will give Flamengo a good strike force. Throw into the mix Petkovic and Mengao could do some damage.

O time desmantelado e o ataque jovem pesaram para as dificuldades do Flamengo nos minutos iniciais. Mas aos poucos o nervosismo passou. Diego Maurício caprichou no visual, colocou tranças dread e conseguiu acertar a primeira jogada aos 19. Ele tabelou com Vinícius Pacheco dentro da área, mas o companheiro precipitou o chute e mandou para fora.

A dupla fez outra boa jogada aos 22 e Vinícius, desta vez como pé esquerdo, chutou forte. Jefferson espalmou para escanteio. O Botafogo recorreu aos contra-ataques. Marcelo Cordeiro fez ótimo lançamento aos 27, Juan cochilou e Alessandro entrou livre na área. O lateral do Flamengo se recuperou e conseguiu atrapalhar o chute.

Por causa de toda a situação que precedeu a partida, o Rubro-Negro, surpreendentemente, dominou boa parte do primeiro tempo. Aos 34, Kleberson cruzou rasteiro e Petkovic chutou rente ao ângulo esquerdo.

Sao Paulo got the butts handed to them by Avai 2-1.

Avai scored the first two goals of the match before Tricolor added a cosmetic goal midway through the second half.

All and all I am a very happy camper.

Mengao travels to Atletico-MG on Sunday July 18^th at Goiania.

Flamengo has had tons of trouble on the road. For that matter at home Mengao stinks the joint out too.

Maybe this trend will change.

I am not holding my breath.

We have some huge matches that place on Wednesday. Corinthians and Ceara each had 17 points.

These two sides will meet at Vovo house in Rei Pele.

Sao Paulo is taking on mid table Avai in Mouribi.

Tricolor cannot afford to lose this sucker.

If Sao Paulo loses and either Timao or Vovo win this will drop Tricolor further off the pace.

We are only seven matches into the season. There is lots of futebol to be played but eight out of ten times that side that gets off to a hot start will usually win the Campeonato.

Last year was the exception when Mengao came roaring back after a horrible start.

I don’t think this is going to happen this year.

Flamengo is missing the drug addict and drunk Adriano, the murder Bruno, and Vagner Love.

This year we may wind up at the bottom of the heap.

Lets see what happens after Rubro-Negro’s match against Botafogo on Wednesday.

I am sure hoping we play better than our last outing against Goias on June 6^th, which Mengao lost 2-1.

The funny thing is this Flamengo, Fogao, Palmeiras, and Cruzeiro each has nine points.

Lots of great stuff to talk about on Friday.

Now it’s back to my favorite team Flamengo. I am total Flamenguista.

Flamengo has been playing crap before for the World Cup break on June 10^th.

Rubro-negro lost to Goias 2-1 at Maracanã.

This marked the last match Vagner Love played for Flamengo.

There is some really good news for us Flamenguistas. Ronaldinho Gaucho has reportedly has a verbal agreement to play for Flamengo.

This is almost a done deal according to several sources-ESPN and Globo Esporte.

President Patricia Amorim said it is almost a done deal.

Globo Esporte put it this way- A notícia divulgada pelo “Gazzetta dello Sport” de que o Milan estaria disposto a liberar Ronaldinho Gaúcho antes do fim de seu contrato deixou a presidente Patrícia Amorim animada. Ela disse, no início da noite desta terça-feira, na Gávea, que se esta situação for resolvida, são boas e reais as chances de o apoiador ser contratado pelo Flamengo. Apesar de dizer que não existe nada muito adiantado, a dirigente confirmou que já deu início a um projeto de marketing para bancar os salários do jogador.

Ronaldinho Gaucho coming to Mengao hinges on him getting out of his AC Milan contract. The contract expires 2012.

Preocupada em não iludir o torcedor, Patrícia Amorim disse que a chegada de Ronaldinho depende basicamente da sua liberação junto ao Milan, com quem tem vínculo até julho de 2012. Por isso, ficou satisfeita ao saber que a imprensa italiana já divulga que seu clube não descarta a possibilidade de rescindir seu contrato para ter mais poder de fogo para investir em outras contratações.

This will surely help us since Bruno is in jail, Adriano left for Italy, and Vagner Love is back with CSK Moscow.

Menago has a huge match tonight agianst Botafogo.

Flamengo is currently in 9th place with nine points.

Fogao has nine points but are in the 8th spot due to a better goal difference.

Menago is a plus one while Botafogo is a plus 2.

Corinthians and Ceare are tied with 17 points each but Timao is the top dog with a plus seven compared to a plus six for Vovo.

Fluminense is third with 15 points.

Flu in third place is the big surprise so far in the Campeonato.

Sao Paulo sits in 6th place with 11 points.

Brasil Cameonato is back in full swing.

Let’s hope Mengao doesn’t stink the joint out.

On the verge of leading Brasil into their quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, former Dutch star Johann Cruyff said he wouldn’t pay to see Brasil play.

He said Dunga has led Brasil into the shits.

Globo Esporte put it this way- Dunga aproveitou a entrevista coletiva oficial da Fifa, nesta quinta-feira, em Porto Elizabeth, na África do Sul, para responder a Johann Cruyff. Considerado um dos melhores jogadores de todos os tempos, o líder do Carrossel Holandês que encantou o mundo na Copa de 1974 disse que “não pagaria para ver a seleção brasileira jogar” e que o Brasil comandado por Dunga tinha se transformado em “um time como qualquer outro da Copa”.

Dunag fired back that FIFA gave him free tickets.

Ele (Cruyff) deve ter ingresso de graça. Por isso ele não paga. Ele pode escolher as partidas para ver. Na democracia você escolhe os jogos que quer e vai assistir. Ele deve ter ingressos de graça da Fifa e por isso não vai comprar.

Perguntado se pagaria para ver alguma partida da Holanda nesta Copa do Mundo, Dunga preferiu brincar.

Eu sou pão duro, vejo pela televisão.

Logo depois, o técnico brasileiro procurou amenizar a polêmica. Jogos de Copa do Mundo sempre valem a pena assistir. São um espetáculo. São jogadores de qualidade de todos os países. É algo único que acontece de quatro em quatro anos

Não sei se o mundo para, mas uma boa parte do mundo para para assistir. Eu pagaria sem dúvida. Gostamos de olhar os jogos porque são jogadores muito técnicos.

Johann Cruyff também havia criticado os talentos individuais escolhidos por Dunga para disputar a Copa do Mundo.

 Eu olho para esse time e me lembro de pessoas como Gerson, Tostão, Falcão, Zico ou Sócrates. Agora, só vejo Gilberto (Silva), (Felipe) Melo, (Michel) Bastos, Julio Baptista. Onde está a magia brasileira? – disse o holandês.

Mengao has two more matches before a month long break for World Cup play.

Flamengo battles Palmeiras on Wednesday in Sao Paulo and then we return home to battle Goias at Maracanã on Saturday.

These next two matches are of extreme importance to Rubro-Negro.

Mengao needs wins not draws or losses.

With Love on the way out in July, Flamengo needs the Love man to score a plethora of goals.

Mengao needs it now not a month from now.

Corinthians has 13 points.

This is a six point differential.

Sure, we made up 13 points in a little more than a month but this year is different.

First Andrade was the headman. Second Adriano was playing top flight futebol now he’s gone. Third, Patricia Amorim is the new Prez. She fired Andrade. Both Love and Adriano are gone.  Finally, Rubro-Negro has no firepower.

It could be a long season.

Now the idiot in chief Rogerio Lourenço has a new director of  player personal for Mengao. It is former Flamengo star Zico.

Little good this will do. We need players not some lackey who is going to kiss Patricia’s butt and do nothing.

Both Zico and Lourenço were Flamengo teammates.

Globo Esporte wrote this A chegada de Zico ao Flamengo foi festejada por quase todos os rubro-negros. Com Rogério Lourenço não foi diferente. O treinador relembrou conselhos recebidos na época de jogador e comemorou com muitos adjetivos a possibilidade de trabalhar ao lado de alguém que é exemplo dentro e fora do campo. Na entrevista coletiva, o Galinho elogiou o treinador.

Go out and bring in some players. For example, a striker, a midfielder, and a defender would go a long way to heal our woes.

Let’s see if this will happen.

I doubt it.

Corinthians finds themselves the front-runners again. Timao was in the pole position this same time last year.

Corinthians wound up in tenth place.

Corinthians took to Santos 4-2.

Ceara is in second place with 11 points.

Third place belongs to Fluminense. Po-de-arroz took it Atletico-MG 3-1.

The way Flu is playing.

This is a huge surprise to the pundits.

Muricy Ramalho is the headman. You might remember him. He was fired last year by Sao Paulo. He only led Tricolor to three straight Campeonato titles. After a horrible start, Ramalho was given the heave-hoe.

He now has Fluminense off to great start.

Let’s see what happens.

Mengao is buried in tenth place with six points.

Flamengo is playing like crap.

We can’t win at home or on the road.

Ties are the order of the day.

One win, one loss, and three ties won’t cut the mustard.

Amorim must go. She must take her clown of a coach Lourenço with her too.

Sao Paulo is struggling as well too.

Tricolor is in seventh place with eight points.

Sao Paulo is five points off the pace but remember Tricolor always gets off to a slow start due to their deep run in Copa Libertadores.

Sao Paulo has made it to the semi-finals.

Last year Tricolor was dumped in the quarterfinals and this resulted in Ramalho getting the axe.

Mengao has no excuse.

Amorim has lost two key players Adriano and Vagner Love. She let Andrade go too.

All Andrade did was led Rubro-Negro their sixth Campeonato.

No wonder we are in deep crap.

The season is young so we will see what happens.

I am not holding my breath.

Mengao is just like the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Birds break your hearts.

So, be it.
