Flamengo couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with a machine gun or a howitzer. This was down right worse than bad.

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.

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

Flamenguista for life.

Flamengo stopped their three match winless streak with a lucky 1-0 win over Ceara.

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.

Flamenguista for life.

Mengao had a chance to move up the table but no Flamengo stunk the joint up in a nil-nil tie with derby rival Vasco.

Yes, a tie is better than a loss but jeez, guys we need to get the full amount of points instead of nickel and dime them to death.

We had some really good chances to score but each time Rubro-Negro came up blank.

Marcelo Lomba was key again for Mengao.

He stopped at least for sure two point-blank shots on goal.

We are still in the top ten but we need another striker.

Sign Ronaldinho Gaucho for crying out loud.

We need to put the ball into the back of the net.

Globo Esporte put it this way. Both sides were horrible offensively.

Yes, Flamengo was very offensive. Mengao stunk the joint out.

Rubro-negros e vascaínos não mereciam um futebol tão ruim. Em jogo com a presença de 60.202 torcedores (50.447 pagantes) – maioria cruzmaltina e recorde da competição -, Flamengo e Vasco fizeram o clássico dos milhões…de erros e não saíram do 0 a 0, no Maracanã, neste domingo, pela 12ª rodada do Brasileirão.

Em noite marcada pela falta de qualidade dos atacantes, uma caneta de Felipe em Cristian Borja e uma série incrível de defesas de Fernando Prass nos minutos finais destoaram do ritmo sonolento. Com o empate, o Rubro-Negro foi a 17 pontos e caiu para a oitava colocação na tabela. O Vasco, por sua vez, com 14, subiu para 15º.

Menago tried to counter attack but it was pathetic. Petkovic was horrible and so was Kleberson. He was a bumbling fool when he had the chance to rip the twines in the 40th minute.

Pressionado, o Fla apostava nos contra-ataques. Petkovic, porém, estava muito apagado, e Juan se transformou no responsável por criar a maioria das jogadas pela esquerda, nas costas de Irrazábal. Aos 40, o lateral serviu Kleberson, que, dentro da área, se atrapalhou todo e perdeu a bola em lance que deu o tom da primeira etapa: alguma vontade e muitos erros.

Up next, for Flamengo is second place Corinthians at Timao’s house.

Na próxima rodada, o Flamengo vai ao Pacaembu, encarar o Corinthians, domingo, às 16h (de Brasília), e os vascaínos, no mesmo dia, recebem o Vitória, às 18h30m, em São Januário.

Vasco keeper Fernando Prass was brilliant in net according Globo Esporte. I agree. Prass was amazing. He kept Flamengo from winning.

Entretanto, se Lomba mostrou eficiência em lances simples, Fernando Prass foi sensacional e chamou para si todos os holofotes. Aos 41 minutos, em boa trama do ataque do Flamengo, Juan serviu Vinícius Pacheco, que girou e chutou para a defesa do goleiro. Cristian Borja, no rebote, cortou Fernando e parou novamente em Prass. Na sequência, Juan voou de peixinho, cabeceou firme e…Prass evitou o gol de forma incrível. Como se não fosse suficiente, aos 48, em falta cobrada por Petkovic no ângulo, o goleiro vascaíno decolou mais uma vez para garantir o 0 a 0.

In the end, Mengao picked up a point to keep us close to Campeonato leader Fluminense.

There are some huge encounters happening on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, second place Fluminense battles Atletico-PR at Maracanã.

Flu needs to win this baby to keep pace with top dog Corinthians.

Sao Paulo is on a six match winless streak. Tricolor needs a break into the “W” column against Ceara on Saturday.

Vovo is in third place.

This will be tough one for Sao Paulo.

Mengao battles Vasco at Maracanã on Sunday.

This derby will be a blood bath.

Vasco is in 13^th place while Rubro-Negro is in 7^th place.

We need to win this baby.

Flamengo has been struggling as of late.

We have one win, one loss, and one tie.

Rubro-Negro struggles mightily at Maracanã.

On the murder Bruno front, Mengao will break the contract. Flamengo will owe Bruno some big bucks.

Marcelo Lomba is doing a pretty good job in goal for us.

We still stink on “D”.

Mengao needs to step up their offense.

Vinicius Pacheco, Petkovic, Kleberson, and Diego Mauricio need to step up to the plate big time and knock it outta the park.

Flamengo is a world of hurt.

If this slide continues will be finish near the butt end of the table.

We have played eleven matches in the Campeonato.

Flamengo is in seventh place with 16 points.

Mengao has four wins, three losses, and four draws.

Rubro-Negro has a plus two in goal difference.

Avai and Cruzeiro both have 16 points and the same goal difference as Mengao a plus two.

Leao de Ilha is in fifth place because they have scored 17 goals. Cruzeiro has scored 11 goals so Raposa Celeste is in sixth place.

Flamengo has scored 10 goals.

We don’t have a very good offense nor is our “D” worth a damn.

Lomba has only given up two goals in the three matches he has played since Bruno was sent to the hoosegow.

He is not the problem. Marcelo Lomba was hung out to dry by his cappy defensive mates.

We need a huge lift.

Corinthians is now top dog with 22 points. Timao blasted Guarani 3-1.

Fluminense and Botafogo tied one in the all-important Rio de Janeiro derby.

This tie cost Flu the top spot in the Campeonato.

Po-de arroz has 23 points.

Third place belongs to Ceara with 20 bad boys.

Vovo and Palmeiras tied one all.

Vasco has moved outta the drop zone.

Gigante de Colina is in the 14^th spot with 13 points.

Botafogo is now in the heave-hoe zone.

Fogao is in 17^th place with 12 points.

Atletico-GO is the bottom feeder with seven points.

The Flamengo guys won’t play until Sunday August 1^st  in a huge derby match against Vasco.

This will be a ton of fun.

Mengao had a great chance to move up the table but no Flamengo reverted to their perfect old form. They stunk the joint out in 1-0 loss to Internacional in Porto Alegre.

I mean it looked like Rubro-Negro would draw first blood in the opening moments but in a matter of moments, Colorado counter attacked.

Internacional took off like a bat outta hell and scored on wicked long-range salvo from Taison in the 4^th minute.

Taison fired a blast that went clang off the cross bar down into the back of the net.

Lomba never had a prayer to stop this missile.

Globo Esporte-palavra sonora, superlativa, nascida para ser sinônimo daquilo que Taison fez aos quatro minutos do primeiro tempo no Beira-Rio. Foi uma pancada seca, precisa, quase lá da intermediária. A bola viajou sem escalas até o ângulo, aquele espaço tão amaldiçoado pelos goleiros. Marcelo Lomba voou porque está escrito na carteira de trabalho dele que ele tem que voar. Inútil. Nem cinco Lombas emendados um no outro defenderiam o chute. Golaço.

Game, set, and match to Internacional.

This tally sent Mengao on their heels.

We never recovered.

Flamengo tried to mount a counter attack but Internacional kept us at bay throughout the entire match.

Rogeiro Lourenço made some changes in the second half but Mengao played like it was farting in the wind.

Mengao lost steam. Stick a fork in Flamengo for they were surely done.

Our season may be down too.

O técnico Rogério Lourenço percebeu que precisava mudar o desenho da partida. E resolveu colocar Marquinhos e Val Baiano nas vagas de Rômulo e Diego Maurício. O Flamengo solucionou um de seus problemas: passou a atacar com maior força, mas não deixou de ser ameaçado.

Bateu uma eletricidade no gramado do Gigante na largada do segundo tempo. Sucederam-se chances de lado a lado. Petkovic desperdiçou cobrança de falta na primeira oportunidade da etapa. O Inter respondeu com chute de Rafael Sobis no travessão de Lomba. Taison, no rebote, mandou para fora. Na sequência, Leo Moura bateu falta por cima.

Pouco depois, Vinícius Pacheco não conseguiu vencer Renan (que chegou a deixar a bola escapar) dentro da área. Em seguida, Taison mandou pancada, o goleiro do Flamengo desviou e a bola voltou a acertar a trave. Lances e mais lances em dez minutos de segundo tempo

Mengao played without heart.

We were just going thru the motions.

No energy or urgency.

This goes back to headman Rogerio Lourenço who in my mind is not a good coach.

Flamengo should have never fired Andrade.

Prez Patricia Amorim has taken a very good club and ruined it.

Thank you Patricia for killing our season.

Mengao will hang around but in the end we will finish mid table.

When players like Diego Mauricio, Vinicius Pacheco, Marcelo Lomba, and Ronaldo Angelim get a full years experience under their belt watch out Campeonato Mengao will kick butt.

If Rubro-Negro can sign Ronaldinho Gaucho, this might give us the push we need to challenge for the title.

Don’t hold your breath.

The scary part is this Internacional used their second squad.

Colorado has a hot date mid week date with Sao Paulo in the Copa Libertadores semifinals.

Globo Esporte-O misto frio do Inter, sem sete titulares, foi mais do que suficiente para bater o Flamengo por 1 a 0. Um fato, duas conclusões: primeiro, a comprovação de que o Colorado embalou e segue pegando velocidade em tempos de luta pelo título da Libertadores; segundo, a percepção de que o Rubro-Negro terá mesmo que remendar suas limitações se quiser ter a mínima chance de repetir a conquista do ano passado. Taison, no primeiro tempo, fez o gol de uma vitória incontestável dos gaúchos na tarde deste domingo, no Beira-Rio

Mengao had a golden opportunity to move up the table but no the boo-Flamengo stunk the joint out in a one all tie with Avai.

Rubro-Negro scored first.

Youngster Diego Mauricio received a great pass from mate Leo Moura.

Diego popped the ball between the keeper’s outstretched hands and the left post to make it 1-0 Mengao in the 10^th minute.

Lion Island didn’t quit.

Avai hit the equalizer in the 73^rd minute. Gabriel nailed a long-range bomb off the free kick to tie this sucker up.

The Mengao “D” fell asleep.

The wall wasn’t set up to stop the direct free kick.

Whamo Bamo right into the back of the net.

Lomba never had a chance.

Marcelo Lomba didn’t set his defense properly this allowed Gabriel to beat Lomba to the left post.

This tie cost Flamengo. Mengao dropped out of the fourth spot.

Rubro-Negro is now in fifth place.

Internacional moved into the fourth spot with a 2-1 win over Atletico-MG.

Mengao had most of the possession but nothing to show for it.

A defensive lapse killed us.

It could have been worse.

A loss.

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

UOL reported the home crowd-Maracanã showered Mengao with boos after the match.

Flamengo jogou mal, principalmente no segundo tempo, e apenas empatou com o Avaí em 1 a 1, na noite desta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, pela décima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Diego Maurício, o seu primeiro como profissional, marcou o gol dos cariocas, enquanto Gabriel, de falta, anotou para os catarinenses. Após o apito final, a equipe rubro-negra saiu de campo vaiada

What changed the match in Lion Island’s favor were the substitutions made by headman Antonio Lopez.

Globo Esporte put this way- Avaí fez duas alterações no intervalo (Marcos e Davi nos lugares de Diogo Orlando e Robinho, respectivamente) e voltou melhor, imprensando os mandantes no campo de defesa. Aos 11, Léo Moura escorregou, Eltinho aproveitou na ponta esquerda e bateu cruzado. Marcelo Lomba desviou levemente, Roberto pegou a sobra, mas errou o alvo, acertando a rede pelo lado de fora.

Mengao was tired in the second half and thus Rogerio Lourenco didn’t make the nesscecary changes and couple that with Vinicus Pacehco was given a yellow card that direct left to the goal by Avai.

Petkovic cansou, e o Flamengo travou. As jogadas de ataque rarearam, e a defesa passou a recorrer aos chutões. O técnico Rogério Lourenço ainda dificultou mais a situação quando trocou Vinícius Pacheco por Camacho.

Mengao has a huge match with Internacional on Sunday July 25^th in Porto Alegre.

Mengao has a huge match with Avai Wednesday night at Maracanã. 

We have to come breathing fire. Lion Island is a very dangerous side.

Avai is in sixth place 14 points.

At this time last year, Rubro-Negro was near the bottom of the table.

Now Flamengo is fourth place.

We are playing better.

Marcelo Lomba is keeping Mengao from tasting defeat.

Lomba is playing lights out.

Lets see what happens against Lion Island.

Avai tied league leader Corinthians nil-nil on July 14^th.

Rogeiro Lourenço is cautiously optimistic about Flamengo’s chances on winning the Campeonato.

UOL-Apesar de estar em quarto lugar na tabela, com 15 pontos, Rogério Lourenço não se ilude em relação ao time. Ele prefere não fazer prognósticos de onde a equipe poderá chegar na competição. De acordo com o treinador, o Flamengo tem chance de brigar até a última rodada pelas primeiras posições da tabela. No entanto, se diz cauteloso.

É cedo para dizer onde chegaremos, se ao título brasileiro ou se nos classificaremos para a Libertadores. Mas o Flamengo sempre entra nas competições para ser campeão. Temos um grupo bom e competitivo. Vamos buscar as primeiras posições, mas sem tirar os pés do chão”, explicou Rogério Lourenço.

It is too early to talk about this.

There is a ton of futebol to be played.

Mengao has too many holes to be filled.

We have a leaky D.

We need another striker too.

Rubro-Negro will start Diego Mauricio and Vinicius Pacheco at striker.

Petkovic will, anchor the midfield.

Lomba will be the stopper on “D”.

This is not a life and death match but Mengao must play well at their house.

Flamengo has struggled at Maracanã. 

 Mengao has two wins, two draws, and one loss at home.

This is not all that hot.

It stinks.

Rubro-Negro has three wins, one lose, and one draw on the road.

We have to step up to the plate and knock it outta the park.

Corinthians is top dog.

Timao defeated Atletico-MG 1-0.

Ceara lost to Internacional 2-1.

The loss dropped Vovo to third place.

Fluminense got by Santos 1-0.

The win vaulted Flu to second place in the table.

Corinthians has 21 bad boys.

Po-de-arroz has 19 points.

Ceara has 18 points.

Flamengo moved up one spot to fourth place with 15 points.

The race is on.

Sao Paulo has almost dropped outta sight.

Tricolor is buried in 13^th place.

Vasco is still in the danger zone.

Gigante de Colina is in 17^th place with nine points.

It is still very early in the season to ring up the white flag however; nine matches into the season there are some trends.

Timao started out very strong last year but by the end of the 2009 season Corinthians wound up in tenth place.

This year will be different for Timao.

Corinthians is strong this year.

Timao has more pieces in place and this will make them very dangerous.

All one has to do is look at the results.

Six wins, three draws, and zero losses.

Flamengo seems to have found a diamond in the rough with keeper Marcelo Lomba. Lomba has been playing lights since the murder Bruno was sent to prison.

The loss of Bruno, the drug addict Adriano, and Love may have motivated Petkovic and the rest to show us how good they can be.

Mengao has controlled the two last to matches.

Flamengo is now dictating the tempo and flow of the match thus forcing opponents to play our style of play.

This is upbeat and attacking.

Rubro-Negro needs another striker.

Other than Mengao is on the right path.

On Wednesday, Flamengo battles third place Avai.

This should be a battle royal.

Flamengo is at home Maracanã.

Home cooking has been bad for us.

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.
