Another one bit the dust Kenny Dalglish was given the heave-hoe by Liverpool. The Reds were a huge disappointment. They stunk the joint out big time. Liverpool finished in eight place. The Reds were seventeen points behind fourth place Tottenham.

Liverpool has been on a downhill slide since 2009 campaign. The Fenway Sports Group owns the Reds. No wonder Liverpool sucks.

 FSG said this “Fenway Sports Group (FSG) and Liverpool football club announced that Kenny Dalglish is to leave his post today as manager after having his contract terminated.

“After a careful and deliberative review of the season, the club came to the decision that a change was appropriate. It is not a decision that was reached lightly or hastily. The search for a new manager will begin immediately.”

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.

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.
