Riquelme fed his buddy Martin Palermo NOT! Palermo tickled the twines in the 71^st minute to secure the win.

Carnavel is underway in Brasil. Vasco and Fluminense battled it out on Saturday in the semifinals of the Taça Guanabara.

Due to Carnavel, Flamengo-Botafogo semi final match will take place on Ash Wednesday February 17^th.

Both Po-de-Arroz and Gigante da Colina battled tooth and nail to a nil-nil draw. It came to the dreaded PK shootout. When the dust settled Vasco defeated Fluminense 6-5.

The first round the PK shootout both sides were a perfect five for five.

Enter the sudden death PK shootout round. Up steps Nilton for Vasco. He calmly nails the PK.

Po-de-Arroz sent Alan for the do of die try. Make it and Fluminense sends the PK to the next round. Miss this baby and Po-de-Arroz goes home. Alan’s shot goes clang off the crossbar.

Vasco is on the finals of the Taça Guanabara.

Either Flamengo or Botafogo awaits Gigante da Colina in the finals.

Flamenguistas will be in full throat on Wednesday at Maracana.

Adriano and the guys need to put pedal to the metal. Love and Petkovic need attack and rip the twines early and often.

Rubro-Negro cannot afford to have any defensive brain farts.
Flamengo cannot give up easy goals.

Bruno needs to be sharp.

Mengao cannot play the famous Oh Lay “D”.

Let’s send Botafogo packing.

This should be a battle royal.

Sao Paulo had a close call with Ituano. Tricolor keeper Rogeiro Ceni nailed the PK in the 16^th minute to lift Sao Paulo to a hard fought 1-0 win in the Campeonato de Paulista.

Santos came from behind to nip Rio Claro 2-1.

Santos sits atop the table with 19 points. Botafogo-Sao Paulo is in second place with 17 points. Esporte Clube Santo Andrea is third with 15 points. Corinthians is fourth with 15 points. Sao Paulo is fifth 14 points.

In the Clausura, Velez Sarsfield, Independiente, Colon de Santa Fe, and Godoy all have eight points. Velez is in first with a plus four-goal difference. Independiente is plus three. Colon is third with plus two. Godoy is fourth with a plus two as well.

Velez hung on to first place with a nil-nil draw with San Lorenzo.

Boca Juniors took on the chin in a nil-nil tie with bottom feeder Atletico Tucuman.

River Plate lost to Colon de Santa Fe 1-0.

Esteban Fuentes nailed the PK in the 43^rd for the only tally of the match.

It sure looks like a long season for both River and Boca.

Boca is in tenth place with five points.

River Plate is in 14^th place with four points.

Yes, I know only four points separate the top fourteen places but the top teams are beating the teams they should while Boca tied with bottom feeder Tucuman.

River had four points entering into Sunday’s match with Colon. Colon de Santa Fe had five.

Colon flat out beat River. River Plate gave up a dumb penalty.

River had a chance to make game of it but two of River’s players were given the heave-hoe for committing stupid fouls in the second half. 

This just about sums up River Plate’s play, the last two seasons dumb and dumber.
