Too many players are getting hurt.

Some of these injuries could be career ending.

The body needs to rest.

FIFA please wake the blank up and stop forcing players to play upwards of 150 matches a year without a break.

Players you need to form a union to stop this BS.

The latest example is England’s Michael Dawson blew out his knee in the 56^th minute.

This injury could be career ending.

Dawson plays for Spurs.

Please stop this insanity.

Pele had a long and great career but Pele didn’t play year in and year out 24-7 three hundred and sixty days a year futebol.

Pele took at least three months off to rest.

Futebol needs a players union to protect them from the evil FIFA idiots who have set up this insane futebol schedule.

Let someone with a lick of sense give the players at least three months off too rest.

These injuries are occurring at a higher rate.

Enough said on this.

Corinthians fell behind 1-0 to Goias before scoring the next five goals to win going away 5-1.

Timao is the real deal.

Corinthians Iarley hit for the daily double.

Botafogo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Gremio came back to score two second half goals to tie this sucker up at two all.

This was a huge loss of two points for Fogao.

Vasco defeated Ceara 2-0.

Corinthians is now one point behind league leader Fluminense.

Flu has 38 points while Timao has 37.

Botafogo had a chance to cut the gap to five points instead Fogao now has 31 points.

Fluminense and Corinthians each have a game in hand.

Vasco now has 26 points.

Gigante da Colina is in seventh place.

Flamengo drops to 15^th place.

Mengao has a huge match against Santo on Sunday.

Peixe is in fourth place with 20 points.

We have to win this sucker at home-Maracanã.

Flamengo is two steps above the drop zone.

This is down right scary and insane.

Mengao has not won a match since play resumed after the World Cup.

Flamengo was up to their old tricks losing to Cruzeiro 1-0.

Roberto nailed the rebounded off a wicked miss in the 9^th minute.

Raposa was on the attack from the opening minute.

Lomba stopped the initial shot with a great leg whip kick save. Rebound. Block. Shot. Block. Pass. Score.

Thanks to keeper Marcelo Lomba.

He kept the score a close 1-0 loss.

The Mengao “D” sucks big time.

No striker and no “D” make for a long season.

You hire and fire coaches until the cows come home but if you don’t have the players, guess what? You lose.

We are now in 14^th place with 21 points.

At this rate, Rubro-Negro will wind up at the butt end of the table by mid September.

Cruzeiro completely outplayed Flamengo.

We had a new coach in Silas.

Way to go garoto lose one for the gipper.

Globo Esporte- O Cruzeiro não tomou conhecimento da estreia do técnico Silas e nem perdoou o mau momento do Flamengo no Campeonato Brasileiro. Sobrando física e taticamente, o time mineiro perdeu um caminhão de gols e acabou vencendo “apenas” por 1 a 0, no Parque do Sabiá, em Uberlândia. O gol de Robert leva a Raposa à quinta posição, com 28 pontos, mesmo número do Inter, quarto colocado. O time colorado, no entanto, tem uma vitória a mais: 8 a 7.

Mengao is in a very difficult situation. We haven’t won since doomsday actually Flamengo hasn’t won in four matches.

To top that Rubro-Negro has the worst attack in the Campeonato scoring a whopping 14 goals.

O Flamengo, por sua vez, segue em situação difícil na competição: há quatro jogos sem vencer, os cariocas caíram para o 14º lugar, com 21 pontos. E a inoperância ofensiva, cada vez mais evidente, também se reflete nos números: com 14 gols marcados, a equipe tem o pior ataque do Brasileirão.

Up next for Mengao is Santo at home Maracanã on Sunday September 6^th.

Right now Rubro-Negro is four points from the drop zone.

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

Flamengo was in control of the match until injury time.

Guarani-SP scored two lightening quick goals in the 91^st and 93^rd minutes to hand Mengao a 2-1 loss in Sao Paulo.

Globo Esporte- Em um jogo com um lance duvidoso e um pênalti inexistente, o Guarani teve uma reação impressionante nos minutos finais e venceu, de virada, o Flamengo por 2 a 1, na tarde deste domingo, no Brinco de Ouro da Princesa, em Campinas, pela 17ª rodada do Brasileiro. O time carioca foi comandado pelo interino Toninho Barroso, mas observado por Silas, anunciado como novo treinador da equipe. O Bugre de Vagner Mancini reclamou muito de uma penalidade não marcada no primeiro tempo e, quando teve outra a favor, desperdiçou. Mas fez dois gols nos acréscimos e decidiu a partida, embora tenha sido dominado praticamente o jogo

This sucks big time,

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

A new coach will not help until some new players are brought in. Hey guys how about a striker or two.

Rogerio Lourenço was fired on Friday. Silas will take over the headman duties on Monday.

We scored in injury time in the first half (47^th minute).

Jean’s header ripped the twines to give Rubro-Negro a 1-0 lead.

Mate Petkovic nailed a perfect corner kick to the back post.

Lomba stopped a phantom penalty in the 76^th minute.

However, Mengao’s defense fell apart in injury time.

Ailson used his noggin to nail a perfectly placed ball that beat the keeper Marcelo Lomba dead to rights in the 91^st minute to level this sucker up at one all.

To add insult to injury Reinaldo unleashed a rocket from just inside the box in 93^rd minute to win this baby for Guarani.

The blasted caromed off of Jean’s leg.

Shoddy defense cost us the win.

Reinaldo had an easy walk in the park thru the Mengao “D” to score the winner.

The entire Flamengo team needs to be shot at dusk for crappy player.

Fire the entire team.

They stink big time.

Our slide down the table will continue until the idiots who run Flamengo are fired.

Mengao is now in 13^th place.

Com o resultado, o time de Campinas está em 11º, com 23 pontos,. O Flamengo tem 21 pontos, na 13ª posição. Na próxima rodada, o Bugre enfrenta o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre, na quarta-feira. No mesmo dia, o Rubro-Negro encara o Cruzeiro, no Parque do Sabiá.

We are in the shits.

Flamengo can’t hit the broadside of a barn with a canon,a machine gun, or a howitzer.

Mengao and Atletico-MG tied nil-nil.

Globo Esporte-O time que não sabe atacar contra a equipe que não sabe vencer fora de casa. O resultado? Empate por 0 a 0, no Maracanã, e mais angústia para Flamengo e Atlético-MG na tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro.

The idiots in charge decided to get rid of Andrade. Then they lost Adriano and Vagner Love and low and behold, the offense is on life support. Better yet it has died.

We  had several good chances but each time the boo-Mengao missed it by that much.

Yes, folks it was a down right offensive display.

Two goals in the last seven games are  pitiful. One of them was a PK by Petkovic.

My grandmother could do better than this. She’s been dead since 1976.

Refletido em números, o caos ofensivo do Rubro-Negro tem dois gols marcados nos últimos sete jogos. E um deles de pênalti. A situação ficou quase insustentável para o técnico Rogério Lourenço. Ele deixou o gramado sob ofensas da torcida e o grito de “Fora, Rogério”.

The Flamenguistas are turning on headman Rogerio.

The real blame falls squarely on the shoulders of head idiot Patricia Amorim.

It stinks to high heaven.

My God hire a real striker not someone from the geriatric ward.

Sure Mengao finally used a striker but the cat Diogo is a has been.

This stinks.

O Flamengo, desta vez, até tinha um atacante em campo. Diogo estreou bem. Vontade, técnica, assistência linda para Leandro Amaral perder uma chance clara. Mas por trás havia um time desarrumado e que carece de saúde no seu meio-campo. Petkovic e Renato foram caricaturas dos jogadores que têm respeito e idolatria da torcida.

The hero of the match for Flamengo was the keeper Marcelo Lomba.

He made three saves that should have been goals.

One of them was a point blank shot that Lomba was able to swat away at the last possible second.

The Flamengo “D” played well for the most part however there were three times when the guys from Rubro-Negro fell asleep.

Marcelo Lomba proved to be the difference.

Mengao has 21 points.

We are hovering around mid table.

Flamengo is in tenth place to be exact.

This is not good.

As duas equipes tinham banca de protagonistas, mas depois de 16 rodadas são apenas coadjuvantes na tabela. O atual campeão está em décimo lugar, com 21 pontos, vendo o líder Fluminense (36) quase de telescópio. O Galo não larga a zona de rebaixamento e fica em 18º lugar, com 14 pontos.

If we don’t find a way score Rubro-Negro could find themselves in the heave-hoe zone.

Mengao lost to Atletico-PR 1-0.

Sure, we hung in there for most of the match,

Yes, Rubro-Negro had some great scoring opportunities but nothing resulted.

This is pure bupkis.

A late stupid defensive error allowed Atletico-PR to score in the 82^nd minute.

Paulo Baier floated a corner kick into the box.

Keeper Lomba and defender Leo Moura let Furacao attacker Manoel head home the match winner.

Flamengo keeper Marcelo Lomba looked like a windmill as he tried to stop the perfectly placed header that was squeezed between Lomba and the left post.

Mengao hasn’t won in Coritiba in 36 years.

You can stick a fork in Mengao’s chances of winning the Campeonato.

Hey Patricia baby sign a real striker.

Rubro-Negro’s offense is down right offensive.

It sucks big time baby.

UOL put it this way- Atlético-PR e Flamengo fizeram um jogo movimentado, neste domingo, na Arena da Baixada e, mais uma vez, o rubro-negro paranaense levou vantagem sobre o time carioca. Com um gol do zagueiro Manoel, no fim do segundo tempo, venceu por 1 a 0 e sustentou um tabu de 36 anos, nos quais não perde para o Fla, em Curitiba. Foi a 11ª partida entre os dois times na Arena da Baixada e nona vitória atleticana.

With the win, Atletico moved up the table and out of the danger zone. Furacao now has 17 points.

Globo Esporte-O Furacão, que passou a noite no Z4, respira. O time chegou aos 17 pontos e fica na 13ª posição, pelo menos até o fim dos jogos das 18h30m. O destaque da partida foi o ligeiro Maikon Leite.

Flamengo has now dropped out of the top four. Rubro-Negro is now in ninth place with 20 points.

O time carioca, por sua vez, também confirmou as conclusões da sua fraqueza ofensiva e precisa mais do que nunca da estreia da dupla Deivid e Diogo para voltar a ter um ataque repeitável. Nos oito jogos pós-Copa, a equipe fez quatro gols, dois deles de pênalti. Diante de números tão ruins, a equipe manteve os 20 pontos, caiu para o nono lugar e distanciou-se do G-4.

We are now in deep do-do.

Welcome to life at the top of the EPL table.

Man U, Chelsea, and my Gunners are used to this grind.

This is why Spurs played above their heads last year.

This year Tottenham came crashing down to earth.

Spurs lost to Young Boys 3-2 in the Champions league playoff round.

Tottenham started out like crap. Before Spurs knew it, they fell behind 3-0 before rallying to make the final score a respectable 3-2.

Spurs picked those all-important two away goals.

The second leg will be played next Wednesday at White Hart Lane.

Spurs need to win this sucker. If not Tottenham will not make it to the group stage of the Champions League.

Goals by Sebastien Bassong and Roman Pavlyuchenko gave Spurs a fighting chance to advance to the next round.

Win baby win. This is what it is.

Welcome to the big leagues Harry.

In the Campeonato Flu is top dog with 32 points.

Corinthians is in second place with 28 points.

Timao lost to Avai 3-2.

This loss cost Corinthians big time.

Avai stayed put in third place with 22 points.

Flamengo moved up to seventh place by virtue of the 1-0 win over Ceara.

Botafogo is in fourth place with 21 points.

Sao Paulo is in deep do-do. Tricolor is buried in 13^th place with 17 points.

Sao Paulo pulled out a huge two all draw with Cruzeiro.

Vasco is in 9^th place with 20 points.

We’ll talk more EPL and Campeonato tomorrow.

Mengao’s offense was non-existent in the win.

Globo Esporte-Num dia de estreias apagadas e atuação fraca do time, a torcida do Flamengo pôde comemorar pelo menos o fim do jejum de quatro jogos sem vitória e de três sem balançar as redes. Num gol de pênalti marcado por Petkovic no fim do primeiro tempo, o Rubro-Negro derrotou o Ceará por 1 a 0, neste sábado, no Maracanã. A equipe com defesa menos vazada do Brasileirão foi superior na maior parte do primeiro tempo e no fim da segunda etapa, mas saiu com outro resultado negativo e já acumula sete partidas sem vencer.

 The only saving grace was a PK awarded when Rubro-Negro’s Williams made a mad rush into the box. This push forced Anderson to foul Williams in the 44^th minute.

Petkovic nailed the PK for the only tally of the match.

Game, set, and match to Flamengo.

We picked up a much-needed win but if we don’t find a way to rip the twines, more often Flamengo is in deep do-do.

Marcelo Lomba played well in goal.

He made three key stops in the match.

Newly signed Leandro Amaral and Renato Abreu played like crap. This was another one of those horrible signings by chief idiot Patricia Amorim. This lady needs to be fired.

Globo Esporte wrote this-A grande expectativa era pelas estreias de Leandro Amaral e Renato Abreu. O primeiro teve atuação muito fraca, com pouca movimentação e receio de fazer as jogadas – não atuava há mais de um ano, desde julho de 2009. O meia, que veio do futebol árabe, mostrou estar sem ritmo de jogo, mas ao menos repetiu a boa pontaria dos velhos tempos em bela cobrança de falta, no segundo tempo

She sucks big time.

Get a real futebol Prez not a fake one.

The points were important.

Mengao has moved up the table.

Flamengo now has 20 points.

Na 15ª rodada, o Flamengo, que com a vitória pulou para 20 pontos ganhos e está, provisoriamente, na sétima posição, irá à Arena da Baixada encarar o Atlético-PR, no próximo domingo. O Ceará, que por enquanto caiu para o quarto lugar, estacionado nos 21, receberá no Castelão, no próximo sábado, o Grêmio.

But we need to sign a real striker not guys from the geriatric ward.

This time last year Flu was getting ready to be given their heave-hoe papers.

Enter former Sao Paulo headman Muricy and presto change oh we have a better Fluminense side.

Muricy led Tricolor three straight campeonato titles before was given the exit stage left in June.

Muricy is a proven winner. He was asked to coach the Brasil National Team but Muricy said, “No Thanks, I don’t need the headaches and all of the political BS.”

Smart move.

Flamengo is playing like crap. Mengao is the defending 2009 Campeonato title holders but at this rate, we might wind up in last place.

Our offense is down right offensive.

It sucks big time.

Flamengo is in tenth place with 17 points.

Our record is four wins, five draws, and four losses.

This stinks.

We need help.

Defense is fine but we need strikers.

What do the wizards of smart at Flamengo do sign an over the hill striker that hasn’t played in two years.

God help us.

Sign Ronaldinho Gaucho. Pony up the money. It worked for us with Adriano so pay the bucks and get Ronaldinho.

Sao Paulo is struggling big time too.

Since Muricy was fired Tricolor has taken a huge nosedive.

Sao Paulo do you miss me yet?

Gomes the clown was in charge until he quit last week after Sao Paulo’s loss to Internacional in the Copa Libertadores semifinals.

Changing the subject for a moment the EPL starts for real on Saturday August 14^th.

I still think Arsenal is the wild card in the EPL title hunt.

My Gunners are for real they should finish at the top of the table.

Man U is strong.

The EPL better watch for the Red Devils.

This teams is young, fast, and a year wiser.

Chelsea is on the down hill side.

I love it.

I can’t wait.

This was worse than pathetic.

It was down right horrible.

Globo Esporte was very kind to Flamengo- Não teve o mesmo sabor ou valor de um triunfo pela Libertadores, mas os corintianos deixaram o Pacaembu com uma pontinha de gosto de vingança. Diante de um Flamengo inexpressivo no ataque, diferente daquele que calou o mesmo estádio há três meses com Adriano e Vagner Love, o Timão dominou amplamente o “Clássico do Povo” e venceu por 1 a 0. Elias, em um belo chute da entrada da área, marcou o único gol do jogo (assista aos melhores momentos no vídeo ao lado).

Corinthians remained one point behind league leader Fluminense.

O resultado faz o Corinthians chegar aos 28 pontos, apenas um abaixo do Fluminense, que derrotou o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre. O Timão mantém o ótimo retrospecto jogando no Pacaembu nos últimos meses. A última derrota aconteceu em novembro do ano passado, quando foi batido pelo Náutico, também pelo Brasileirão.

Timao has 28 points.

Flu has 29 big ones.

This was a close affair. Sure, Timao had a difficult finding the back of the net but Mengao was worse.

Flamengo maybe mounted two at most three serious attacks but other than that it was lets play paddy cake with Corinthians.

The only marker came in the 38^th minute.

Elias wove his way thru three Flamengo defenders at the top of the box.

He stopped at the half moon and fired.

Elias fired a low ball that beat keeper Marcelo Lomba to the right post.

Game, set and match to Timao.

Flamengo’s winless streak is at four games.

Mengao has scored a whopping two goals in their last four matches.

O Flamengo não consegue quebrar a série ruim. Acumula agora quatro partidas sem vencer e caiu para a 10ª colocação, com 17 pontos, mais distante da zona de classificação para a Libertadores. Para piorar, o ataque formado por Val Baiano e Borja não engrena e já enfrenta a ira da torcida. Foi o terceiro jogo consecutivo sem o Rubro-Negro balançar as redes.

Since July 14^th Flamengo has scored a mega three goals in six matches.

We have two wins, two losses, and two ties.

This Bullshit will not suffice.

We find ourselves in tenth place with 17 points.

The idiot for a Prez Patricia Amorim let our two best attackers go- Adriano and Love.

This is dumb.

It was worse than dumb.

It is stupid.

If Mengao does not right the ship, we will wind up dead last.

This sucks big time.

Oh, yes, what a glorious week leading up the start of the season it is.

August 14^th is set to kickoff the season.

Manchester United battled archrival Chelsea at Wembley Sunday afternoon.

At stake the Community Shield title.

Both sides threw their best Sunday punches at each other.

In the end, Man U defeated the Blues 3-1.

The Blues and Man U looked in top form.

This will spell trouble for the rest of the EPL.

Rooney set up the Reds first goal.

The Rooney man fired a perfect cross to mate Antonio Valencia.

Valencia deposited the ball into the back of the net in the 41^st minute.

The Blues kept up the pressure in the second half but they couldn’t crack the code.

Man U Javier Hernandez nailed a perfect shot first off his face and then into the back of the net to give the Reds a 2-0 lead in the 75^th minute.

Valencia set it with a great dribble drive down the right side of the pitch.

This push forced the Chelsea “D” to break down and give Hernandez a path to the open net.

Kalou scored in the 75^th minute to cut the Reds lead to 2-1.

Sturridge fired a blast from 25 yards out.  Man U’s Edwin Vander Sar blocked the initial shot.

Shot. Rebound. Score.

The Blues ratcheted up the pressure.

Zippo. Nada.

The waste of a striker Dimitar Berbatov scored in the 92^nd minute to seal the deal.

Berbatov played with the Blues “D” before he forced the keeper Henrique Hilario to leave his line. Berbatov flipped the Lolly Pop shot over Hilario’s head into the back of the net.

Game, set, and match to Man U.

Hopefully Berbatov will score this year instead of stinking the joint like he did last year.

The EPL starts for real Saturday August 14^th.

I can’t wait.

The NFL can go screw itself.

My beloved Flamengo has a huge match with Corinthians coming up later on Sunday.

Timao is in second place with 25 points.

Mengao is hovering in tenth place.

Rubro-Negro is playing like crap.

We can’t find the back of the net with a machine gun or a Howitzer.

Flamengo needs help.

We need to win this sucker.

A loss or a tie is out of the question.

Mengao has two wins, one loss, and four draws on the road.

Pacaembu is hard place to play.
