It’s the weekend and it is hot as hell. Triple digits are not my cup of tea. At least this beats the hell hole Rogers, Arkansas.
I will take dry heat rather than that hot humid crap any day of the week.
Mengao has a hot date with Atletico-PR at Furcacao’s house in Curitiba.
After three matches, my guys from Rubro-Negro have one road win and one road tie.
Flamengo has played one home match and we tied with Corinthians.
I am not saying this is a must win but Mengao needs to come away with a positive result if we want to stay in touch with the leaders Sao Paulo.
Tricolor has nine points.
Mengao has five.
Furacão has zero points and have scored zero goals after three matches. This means Atletico-PR can be very dangerous. Mengao must come with their A game if we want to win this sucker.
Flamengo has not won in Furcacao’s house since 1974.
UOL out it this way- Após o jogo festivo para Petkovic, o Flamengo volta a encarar com “seriedade” a competição. O adversário, apesar de estar na zona de rebaixamento, não perde em casa para o rubro-negro carioca desde 1974. Na Arena da Baixada, o time da Gávea jamais triunfou.
Embora conte com o retrospecto positivo, o Atlético-PR está longe da tranquilidade. Até agora, foram três derrotas e nenhum gol marcado. É o único time da Série A que ainda não balançou as redes. O técnico Adilson Batista deve mexer no meio-campo da equipe para torná-lo mais ofensivo
Rubro-Negro will have Ronaldinho Gaucho and Wanderley as the two attackers.

The entire Flamenguista nation is happy. Mengao defeated Atletico-GO 1-0.
This was a huge road win.
Mengao flat out took it to Atletico-GO.
Globo Esporte- Pintado de rubro-negro, o Serra Dourada foi palco de um jogo aberto e com muitas chances de gols. Mas quem deixou o estádio satisfeito e motivado foi o Flamengo, que apesar de ter sido pressionado no fim do jogo, venceu o Atlético-GO por 1 a 0 na tarde deste domingo. O único gol do jogo foi marcado por Petkovic, em pênalti sofrido pelo jovem Diego Maurício.
The turning point in the match happened in the 36th minute.
Rubro-Negro’s Diego Mauricio took it to the rack. He was fouled.
PK time for Mengao.
Petkovic nailed the PK.
Game, set, and match to Flamengo.
These three points are huge for us Flamenguistas.
Road wins are almost like double wins.
These puppies are hard to come by.
Lomba came up huge in goal again for Mengao.
He made three lights out saves.
Marcelo Lomba saved Mengao’s bacon.
With the win, Flamengo is close to the top of the table. Fourth place to be exact.
Com o resultado, o Flamengo conseguiu sua segunda vitória seguida após a paralisação do Brasileiro por causa da Copa do Mundo. O time passou a somar 15 pontos e está na parte de cima da tabela, podendo acabar a rodada no G-4. Já o Atlético-GO segue sendo o lanterna da competição com apenas 4 pontos somados.
Flamengo has a hot date with Avai.
Leao de Ilha is hotter than the fourth of July.
Avai beat Palmeiras 4-2 on Sunday.
Leao de Ilha has won two straight just like Mengao.
The heat is on.
Flamengo is now in fourth place with 15 points
Avai is in fifth place with 14 big ones.
I love it.
