Maracanã saw it’s final futebol match until 2014. Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro is one of the sites for the 2014 World Cup that will be played in Brasil.

Mengao bid farewell to their home.

Way to tie one for the Gipper guys.

Santos and Rubro-Negro tied nil-nil.

Globo Esporte- Na despedida do Maracanã – que fecha para as obras da Copa de 2014 -, só quem foi capaz de fazer vibrar as torcidas do Flamengo e do Santos foi o Guarani, com os gols na vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o Fluminense. Na estreia do badalado ataque “D2”, com Deivid e Diogo, o Rubro-Negro voltou a decepcionar ofensivamente. Com muitos desfalques – entre eles Neymar, suspenso – o Santos conseguiu segurar o 0 a 0 neste domingo, em partida válida pela 19ª rodada do Brasileirão. (assista aos melhores lances no vídeo ao lado).

Santos super star Neymar was suspended. This was a blessing in disguise. Santos is currently is 3^rd in the table with 31 points.

Neymar is a down right great and upcoming player. My guys from Arsenal want him badly.

Without Neymar Peixe is horrible on the attack.

Thank you God for small blessings.

The men from Flamengo had at least four golden opportunities to win this sucker but Mengao missed by that much.

In the Juan had a golden opp to tickle the twines but no, he blew it big time.

Aos cinco, Juan tabelou bonito com Renato, recebeu passe de calcanhar, mas viu a bola cair em seu pé direito e, na entrada da área, chutou para fora. Disposto a voltar a usar mais ofensivamente os laterais do que nos tempos de Rogério Lourenço, Silas plantou Toró e Corrêa na frente da zaga e mandou Léo Moura e Juan para o ataque. A estratégia, somada à disposição de Deivid e Diogo, deu certo. Principalmente pelo lado direito.

At the twenty mark Leo Moura should have scored but didn’t. Three minutes later and once again Moura and Juan fired blanks.

Aos 20, Leonardo Moura fez linda jogada, partiu em disparada da intermediária, driblou quatro adversários e tocou para trás. Deivid emendou para fora e desperdiçou gol feito. Três minutos depois, a mesma dupla entrou em ação. O lateral rolou para o companheiro, que foi atrapalhado por Edu Dracena no momento da conclusão.

Our offensive display is down right pathetic.

It sucks big time.

Try two goals in Mengao’s last eight matches.

Flamengo’s last win was August 14^th a 1-0 win over Ceara.

Rubro-Negro has 22 points and currently resides in 14^th place.

Five points separate us from 17^th place.

Atletico-MG is in 17^th place with 17 points.

Mengao has a huge match against Sao Paulo on Wednesday night in Mouribi.

We need wins not ties however this is better than a loss.

Mengao’s winless streak now stands at five.

Flamenguista for life.

We did it. Brasil took care of business by shutting out Chile 3-0.

The guys were at their best.

This was one of those slow marches into enemy territory. Inch by inch Brasileiros took control of the match.

Juan’s wicked header off a well-placed corner kick from Ismael Fuentes in the 34^th minute gave Brasil a 1-0 lead.

From this point on it was baby this sucker is done.

Luis Fabiano took to the rack. A fake left. A side step right. Here is your jock mister keeper. Fabiano deposited the rock into the back of the empty net in the 38^th minute.

Kaka set this sucker up with a perfect feed into the box.

Kaka is not scoring but this dude is making the magic man Magic Johnson proud.

A seleção aproveitou a vantagem e se manteve no ataque, chegando ao segundo gol três minutos depois. Se abriu 1 a 0 em um lance de bola parada, fez 2 a 0 em outra especialidade desse time: o contra-ataque. Robinho correu pela esquerda e encontrou Kaká no meio, na entrada da área. Com apenas um toque, típico do camisa 10, ele deixou Luis Fabiano na cara do goleiro. O atacante, que um minuto antes se atrapalhara sozinho em um toque de calcanhar, driblou Bravo com estilo e fez seu terceiro gol nesta Copa. O jogo, complicado até os 34 minutos, chegou ao intervalo com boa vantagem no placar para a seleção.

Just call me the assist man Kaka.

Who needs scoring when your best player is setting the table for the rest of his mates.

Robinho’s strike in the 59^th minute was the final nail in Chiles coffin.

Ramires stole the ball at midfield. He took straight up the middle of the pitch.

Ramires arrived at the top of the box and hit Robinho with a little diddy.

Top shelf right and this baby was over.

Globo Esporte put it this way- Se não estava tão fácil construir jogadas, o melhor jeito de chegar ao gol foi destruindo. Ramires roubou bola no meio-campo e acelerou em direção à área, livrando-se de dois marcadores e desviando a bola do terceiro, dando passe para Robinho. O atacante chutou e tirou a bola do alcance do goleiro, fazendo 3 a 0 aos 14 minutos. Desencantou no Mundial na África do Sul, marcando seu primeiro gol.

It is on to the next round for Brasil.

Now we take on Netherlands.

The Dutch defeated Slovakia 2-1.

This match will be a classic battle between to futebol giants.

After the victory Brasil was okay, this was cool.

Next.

Dunga has this squad focused on the prize.

The World Cup title.

Up next Netherlands in our march to the title.

Adriano was given time off to sort his life. Adriano and his bride Joana Machado were having some problems. UOL had this to say www.uol.com.br O problema pessoal envolvendo o atacante Adriano (confusão num baile funk com a noiva Joana Machado) não foi levado para dentro de campo pelos jogadores do Flamengo. Sendo assim, a equipe rubro-negra, com facilidade, goleou o Resende por 4 a 0, na noite deste sábado, no Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, em Volta Redonda, pela terceira rodada da Taça Rio, segundo turno do Campeonato Estadual.

Did The Emperor’s absence hurt Flamengo? Many would say no way Jose but I beg to differ. Without Adriano in the line up Mengao had a hard time with second division side Resende before finally pulling away in the second half to win 4-0.

Yes, the torrid rain had something to do with the sloppy play but I think Mengao is resting on their laurels and not seriously getting ready to defend their title.

Globo Esporte http://globoesporte.globo.com/ wrote this-A chuva intermitente que castigou Volta Redonda durante todo o sábado prejudicou o estado do gramado, repleto de poças. O toque de bola era difícil, e pelo alto o Flamengo quase abriu o placar. Após escanteio cobrado por Vinícius Pacheco, aos dois minutos, Fernando cabeceou no canto direito e Cleber saltou para fazer excepcional defesa.

Mengao started really slow. Rubro-Negro had several early opportunities to score but Fernando just missed a close range header in the 2^nd minute. Toro fired a wicked shot on goal but Resende keeper Cleber stopped em cold in the 24^th minute.

Vagner Love wasted a golden opportunity in the 31^st minute. Fabricio forced a ball into the goalmouth. It was pinball machine time. Love just missed putting away the loose ball. Resende keeper Cleber was able to punch the ball out of harms way.

Mengao finally got on the scoreboard in the 37^th minute. Vagner love threaded the needle to mate Bruno Mezenga. Mezenga flew past Resende defender Rodrigo Costa. Bruno Mezenga stopped and popped a shot right into the top shelf left. Cleber never had a prayer to stop this sucker.

The second half was a different story. Mengao pressed the attack. Flamengo scored three-second half goals to salt this puppy away.

Leonardo Moura ripped the twines in the 62^nd minute. His shot off a free kick from just outside the top box beat the keeper Cleber top shelf left.

Mengao scored again in the 72^nd minute. Flamengo worked the ball down the pitch with some precision passing. Vinicius Pacheco was recipient of this great teamwork. He was one on one with the keeper. Pacheco hit a perfect shot just inside the far right post to make 3-0 Flamengo.

Vagner Love capped the scoring in the 82^nd minute. Love had an easy walk goal to make 4-0 Mengao.

This goal was set up by a turnover in the Resende offensive end of the pitch.

Juan pulled the keeper and the defenders away from goalmouth.

Juan lay off a great pass to mate Love who was crashing the far right post.

All and in all it was a win but Mengao was very sloppy with the ball and this could back and hurt them big time.

Mas a chance inicial parecia chuva de verão. O Resende rondou a área adversária, insistindo no jogo aéreo para Tuta. Disperso, o time rubro-negro errou muitos passes no meio de campo, o que travou o andamento das jogadas.

Vagner Love is a big hit with Mengao. Love is the clubs top scorer with ten goals.Com mais um gol, Vagner Love chegou ao seu décimo na competição e se isolou ainda mais na artilharia do Campeonato Estadual. Dodô, do Vasco, com oito, vem logo atrás.

Love added that this victory was for Adriano.

“O Adriano faz falta ao time e oferecemos esta vitória para ele. Mas jogamos com personalidade e estamos com uma moral maior”, disse Vagner Love.

In the lone EPL action on Sunday Everton dismantled Hull City 5-1. Landon Donovan recorded his first EPL goal in the 82^nd minute.

Mikel Arteta hit the daily double for Toffees.

FA Cup Quarterfinal action saw Chelsea take care of Stoke City 2-0. Aston Villa doubled up on Reading 4-2. Chelsea and Aston Villa are into the FA semifinals.
