Flamengo stunk the joint out in our victory over Caracas 3-2. The win was huge but Mengao needed to win by a wider margin. Flamengo has no room for error if we want to move on to the next round of the Copa Libertadores.

UOL put it this way-A vitória não bastava. Era preciso golear. Nem isso o Flamengo fez ao bater o Caracas-VEN por 3 a 2, nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, pelo grupo 8 da Copa Libertadores e terá de torcer por uma grande combinação de resultados para se classificar à próxima fase. Enquanto, Ronaldo Angelim, Michael e David marcaram para os rubro-negros, Castellín e Gomez anotaram para os visitantes. Com o resultado, o time da Gávea se consolidou na segunda posição de seu grupo, com 10 pontos. Já o time da Venezuela terminou esta fase na última posição, com dois

Us Flamenguistas were down right pissed with the way Mengao played. Globo Esporte had this to say-A atuação não foi boa, a ira da torcida só fez aumentar, e o que imperou na noite desta quarta-feira no Maracanã foram vaias e xingamentos vindos das arquibancadas. O Império do Amor não fez sua parte, e o placar do alívio, com pelo menos dois gols de diferença, não veio. Mas, aos trancos e barrancos, o Flamengo venceu o Caracas por 3 a 2 e complicou suas chances de classificação às oitavas de final da Taça Libertadores.

Adriano played like crap. He had one great season and now he’s reverted to his old ways. If this BS play continues the Emperor can kiss his shot at making the World Cup squad bye-bye. Pior para Adriano, que teve outra atuação abaixo da crítica e, após o apito final, ouviu algo que jamais imaginou desde sua volta ao Fla: “Ei, Adriano, vai tomar no c*”. O conjunto rubro-negro também foi muito vaiado e saiu de campo sob os gritos de “time sem vergonha”.

It comes dowm to this if Menago is to advance to the next round of the Copa. Menago has hope the other teams either lose or have a worse goal difference than us-

Agora, para conseguir a vaga, o time – que tem 10 pontos e saldo de 2 gols – precisa ficar de olho em outros resultados nos jogos desta quinta. Os alvos são os Grupos 1 e 5. No primeiro, o time tem que torcer para o Racing-URU (7 pontos, saldo -1) não vencer o Cerro Porteño-PAR por mais de três gols de diferença, em Assunção. Já na outra chave, a tarefa é secar o Cerro-URU (7 pontos, saldo zero) contra o eliminado Emelec. Os uruguaios não podem vencer por mais de dois gols. Além disso, o Fla também precisa torcer para que Inter (9 pontos, saldo + 3) e Deportivo Quito (10 pontos, saldo + 1) não empatem no Beira-Rio. Se qualquer um desses resultados for desfavorável para o Fla, o clube estará eliminado

Mengao has no one to blame but themselves for the mess they are in.

Everything worked out for Mengao. Rubro-Negro is on to the next round of the Copa Libertadores,

Up next for Mengao is Corinthians.

The headlines in Brasil go like this-It is the Battle of the fat men- Ronaldo and Adriano. It will be a heavy weight way.

Only in Brasil.

There are two huge matches on Saturday in the EPL. Tottenham takes on Manchester United at Old Trafford. Both sides have the world to play for.

The boys from Old Trafford need the big three if they want to stay in the title hunt.

Spurs in the other hand are locked in a death match with City for the final Champions League spot.

Arsenal and Man City go at it in our house. We need the W if we want to keep our dim hopes of the EPL title alive. City on the other hand needs the big W as well. If City lose they might as well kiss their dreams of a Champions League spot voce vai.

Yes indeed it is surely nut-cutting time in the EPL.

Mengao took care of business in Caracas, Venezuela on Wednesday night. Flamengo took it to the home side and won going away 3-1 in the Copa Libertadores.

Vagner Love continued his torrid scoring pace.

Love hit the daily double.

Rubro-Negro’s first goal was the result of a penalty. Leonardo Moura made a great run into the box. He fired a wicked pass to Petkovic. The ball nipped the hand of Caracas defender Romero.

Magic presto Mengao has a gift.

Love nailed the PK in the 35^th minute to give us a 1-0 lead.

Caracas tied this baby up in the 65^th minute.

Castellin whipped a pass to mate Alvaro. Alvaro flat out beat Bruno to level the match at one all.

Flamengo pressed the attack.

Mengao was rewarded in the 79^th minute.

Vagner Love took it straight to the rack. He fired a rocket that hit the crossbar. The shot went ker plunk into the back of the net.

Mengao was up 2-1.

Rubro-Negro put this puppy away in the 93^rd minute.

Kleberson stole the ball in the Caracas end of the pitch. He whipped a pass to Rodrigo Alvirn.

Alvirn nailed this gimmie to put Caracas out of their misery.

We now are atop Group 8 with six points.

Yes, this was a much-needed win for Mengao in Caracas’s house.

Mengao entered this match with a lot of crazy stuff happening. Adriano had to miss this match because he and his fiancé are fighting.

Besides that, The Emperor is out of shape.

UOL www.uol.com.br had this to say- O Flamengo entrou em campo nesta quarta-feira, contra o Caracas, na Venezuela, sabendo que somente uma vitória faria com que a crise na Gávea fosse amenizada após a polêmica em torno de Adriano na última semana. Mesmo pressionado e com um a menos durante boa parte do segundo tempo, o time se superou e, sob a batuta de Vagner Love, autor de dois gols, venceu mais uma sem o Imperador, desta vez por 3 a 1.

Without Adriano head man Andrade used Love as his lone striker. Petkovic was moved into the midfield. Sem o astro, o técnico Andrade optou por deixar apenas Vagner Love no ataque e voltou a escalar Petkovic como titular. Desde o Fla-Flu do dia 31 de janeiro, o qual foi substituído no intervalo e abandonou o estádio, o sérvio não iniciava um jogo.

Mengao defender Toro was sent to the sin bin for rough play in the 53^rd minute. This could have cost Mengao the match but the guys sucked it up and powered through being a man down to take the win.

Globo Esporte http://globoesporte.globo.com/ had this to say- O Flamengo conseguiu uma vitória heroica sobre o Caracas, nesta quarta-feira, na Venezuela, pela Taça Libertadores, que serviu para afastar a crise do “caso Chatuba”, que tomou conta da Gávea nos últimos dias. Mesmo sem Adriano, o time venceu por 3 a 1, e o segundo tempo foi emocionante. O Rubro-Negro teve um jogador a menos desde os minutos iniciais – Toró recebeu o cartão vermelho. Vagner Love fez dois gols, e Rodrigo Alvim, o terceiro. Castellín marcou o da equipe da casa.

Two bad things happened to Mengao. First Willams was lost due to an injury and then Toro was sent off for his second yellow card. The second card was an ugly foul. The ref had to send him bye-bye.

A partir daí, dois fatos inesperados. O primeiro aconteceu quando Fernando sentiu um problema muscular e teve de deixar o campo. Quando o Flamengo estava com um a menos, Gabriel Cichero deu um drible entre as pernas de Toró, que fez falta feia, recebeu o segundo amarelo e foi expulso. Em dois minutos, Andrade ficou sem seus dois volantes de marcação. O jeito foi improvisar Rodrigo Alvim, que substituiu Fernando.

Not a pretty win but us Flamengistas will take it.

Chelsea and Inter battled it out in the first round of the knockout stage of the Champions League. Ex-Blues boss Jose Mourinho is the Inter headman. Ex AC Milan headman Carlo Ancelotti is Chelsea’s main man.

Let’s talk about this barnburner of a match. Inter drew first blood in the 3^rd minute. Alberto Diego Milito did a little side step action to the left. This slick move set up this strike that beat keeper Petr Cech to the short post left.

John Terry played horrible “D” on the play.

Chelsea discovered the answer in the 51^st minute. Salomon Kalou was just outside the top of the box. He fired a weak shot that bounced past keepers Julio Cesar’s outstretched left paw. This should have been an easy stop. But no, Cesar flat out blew it.

The match is knotted at one all.

Inter began to apply the pressure on the Blues “D”.

Esteban Cambiasso fired a wicked shot but Didier Drogba blocked it. Rebound. Shot. Score Cambiasso in the 55^th minute.

Inter is up 2-1.

Oh yes, we have a fight on our hands in Internazionale’s house.

Neither side is playing it safe. Chelsea and Inter are playing fast break, racehorse style futebol. I love it.

We have non-stop end-to-end action.

Both sides have had some great scoring opportunities but neither the Blues nor Inter have yet to pull the trigger.

It is all done. Inter defeated Chelsea 2-1.

The Blues picked up the all-important away goal.

Advantage Inter as we head back to Stamford Bridge for the second part of the story. The return match should be another nail bitter.

Lots of Copa Libertadores action on Wednesday.

Flamengo has a hot date with Universidad Catolica at Maracana. The Chilean side is currently in 11^th place in the Chilean Apertura. Catolica has seven points. They are 2-1-3.

Mengao needs to flat out take it to Catolica.

Adriano and Love need to rip the twines.

Bruno will be out with a pulled adductor muscle in his right thigh. Youngster Marcelo Lomba will in goal. I sure hope this doesn’t kill us. This is the grand daddy of em all in South America-The Copa Libertadores.

Rubro-Negro opens the Copa at home then we are on the road for the next two matches.

Mengao travels to Chile to battle Universidad de Chile and Caracas, Venezuela.

Mengao has not tasted victory in first round play of Copa since 1984.

Flamengo needs to stop this schnid now.

Mengao has six draws and two losses in their previous eight Copa openers.

Not good garoto.

Flamenguistas needs a win.

In fifth round FA Cup replay action, Tottenham took it to Bolton 4-0. Super Russian Roman Pavlyuchenko hit for the daily double in the 23^rd and 87^th minute. The Wanderers hit the daily double own goal in the 35^th and 47^th minute.

Please say it ain’t so Joe.

It is. 

Spurs are on to the next round of the FA cup.

Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 3-1 to advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

Reading defeated West Brom 3-2.

Reading’s Brian Howard tied this baby up at two all in 90^th minute to send this guy into thirty minutes of extra time.

Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the match winner in the 95^th minute to send West Brom packing.

Stoke City needed the full 120 minutes to stifle City 3-1. This loss sure puts a damper Man City’s season.

Ryan Shawcross scored in the 95^th minute.

Tuncay Sanli fired home the winner in the 99^th minute to put this sucker out of reach.

City is sent packing as well.

Oh what a crazy day in the futebol world.
