Mengao defeated Vasco 2-1. Flamengo is top dog in Group A with 12 points. Yes, this was a huge match up with Gigante de Colina. Vasco is one of the sides Rubro-Negro will battle in the Campeonato.
Goals by Deivid in the 22ndminute and Thiago Neves was all Flamengo needed to secure the win.
Yes, we gave up a goal in the second half but all in all, it was a solid performance by Mengao.
For what it is worth Vasco is stinking the joint up this year. Gigante de Colina has lost four matches so far in Carioca.
Vasco will be sent home packing from the first round of the Carioca.
Globo Esporte wrote this- O Flamengo venceu o Vasco por 2 a 1 e reassumiu a liderança do Grupo A da Taça Guanabara. De quebra, eliminou o rival do torneio. Deivid e Thiago Neves marcaram os gols que fizeram a equipe da Gávea chegar aos 12 pontos na competição. Romulo descontou para o time cruzmaltino, que segue sem pontuar e está em oitavo lugar. No momento, a equipe está à frente apenas do Cabofriense devido ao saldo de gols.
UOL put it this way- O Flamengo atuou de forma segura e Thiago Neves exibiu o melhor do seu repertório para que o time vencesse o Vasco por 2 a 1, neste domingo, no Engenhão, e se isolasse na liderança do Grupo A da Taça Guanabara, com 12 pontos. Deivid marcou o primeiro e o camisa 7 deu um chapéu em Fernando Prass para completar o placar. Rômulo descontou. O resultado eliminou o Vasco da competição, que segue em crise. Os quatro jogos sem vitória marcam o pior início do clube de São Januário na história do torneio.
Yes, this does bode well for all Flamenguistas but remember this is just the pre season. The real season starts in May.
Then we will know for sure how good or bad Flamengo really is.
Until then let’s enjoy the “W”.

Flamengo is good at beating up on the little sisters of poor and the other also rands as of late. I am happy we are winning but I will withhold my judgment until Mengao plays a real futebol side such as Botafogo.
When this match takes place the Flamenguista faithful will have a real gage on what we are really packing if anything.
Rubro-Negro defeated Americano-RJ 2-0.
Wanderley struck the daily lotto twice in Mengao’s win.
This win gives Flamengo nine points in three matches in the Carioca Campeonato.
You can sing all the praises you want but this Flamenguista wants to see Flamengo play a real futebol side.
UOL wrote this- www.uol.com.br Na estreia de Thiago Neves quem brilhou foi Wanderley. O atacante, que saiu do banco ainda no primeiro tempo, fez os gols da vitória rubro-negra sobre o Americano por 2 a 0, na noite desta quarta-feira, no Estádio Cláudio Moacyr Azevedo, em Macaé, pela terceira rodada do grupo A da Taça Guanabara, primeiro turno do Campeonato Carioca.
Com a vitória, o Flamengo, que jogou com um jogador a mais desde os 19 minutos do primeiro tempo, chegou aos nove pontos e segue na liderança do grupo com 100% de aproveitamento. O Americano permaneceu com dois, na quinta posição.
It is easy to look brilliant against inferior competition.
This all I have to say about this drivel.
I can’t wait until Ronaldinho Gaucho starts playing for Flamengo. Then I want to see how this will translate into “W’s” in the Campeonato.

The EPL has a break in the in the action this weekend. The FA Cup will now take center stage on Saturday and Sunday. This is the oldest championship in the world. The FA Cup began play in 1871-72.

This break will give my team Arsenal time to heal some of the walking wounded before we get back into action next week. Man U will get a chance to heal some of their hurting guys as well too. Thank God for small favors.
The Gunners have two hot dates next week. The first is on Wednesday February 17th. We have a classic encounter with FC Porto in the knockout stage of the Champions League. The first leg will take place at Porto’s house in Estadio do Dragao.
Man U battles AC Milan in one of those titanic epic battles on Tuesday February 16th at Milan’s house in Giuseppe Meazza. You can bet both sides will throw the kitchen sink at each other.
In Brasil the semi finals of Carioca Guanabara takes on Saturday and Ash Wednesday. Saturday we find Fluminense batting Vasco. On Ash Wednesday, Flamengo has a hot date with Botafogo. This should be an all out war between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo. Us Flamenguistas will be in full throat.
Adriano and the guys need to step it up a notch and kick some major butt. We need to strike early and often. The Emperor, Vagner Love, and Petkovic need to rip the twines.
Chelsea has a hot fifth round date with Cardiff on Saturday. The Blues will be missing some key players. John Terry was given time off to try and fix his marriage. Good luck bucko after being caught with your drawers down with another woman. Play nice Bobby. I know but I can’t help myself. John Terry comes from the womanizer school of Tiger Woods, Joe Namath, John Kennedy, and Wilt Chamberlain. Compared to those guys John Terry is a piker. He needs more practice.
Ashley Cole will miss the Cardiff match due to the fractured ankle he sustained in the Everton match. Keeper Petre Cech and striker Nicolas Anelka will not make the trip either.
The Blues head man Carlo Ancelotti emphatically insists he is taking FA Cup seriously.
We will see.
Man City battles Stoke City, Southampton-Portsmouth, Reading- West Brom, and Derby-Birmingham are the other FA Cup match ups on Saturday.
On Sunday Tottenham-Bolton, Crystal Palace-Aston Villa, and Fulham-Notts County will duke it out.
