Mengao sure looked like dead meat. Santos took the lead when one of idiots playing defense for Flamengo Alex Silva committed a dumb foul in the box.
O gol acordou o Flamengo, que buscou o gol de empate, mas acabou endo prejudicado pela arbitragem, que anulou gol legal de Alex Silva, marcando impedimento. Antes disso Neymar foi derrubado na área e o árbitro também não marcou pênalti.
Neymar nailed the PK in the 49th minute to give Peixe a 1-0 lead.
Rubro-Negro finally got the equalizer in the 77th minute.
Deivid ripped the twines to level this sucker at one all.
Mengao played very tentatively until the goal was scored.
O Flamengo seguiu tentando o gol de empate e esteve perto disso com Diego Maurício, aos 20, quando o atacante recebeu na esquerda, cortou para o meio e bateu para bela defesa de Rafael. De tanto insistir e desperdiçar oportunidades, o Fla chegou ao empate aos 33 minutos: Júnior César cruzou da esquerda e Deivid acertou bela cabeçada, sem chances de defesa para o goleiro santista.
The guys hung on for a tie.
Globo Esporte wrote this- Dois meses e 26 dias depois de fazerem um jogo épico na Vila Belmiro, considerado o melhor dos últimos tempos, Flamengo e Santos se reencontraram no Engenhão neste domingo sem o mesmo brilho e algumas das principais estrelas daquele duelo que terminou 5 a 4 para os rubro-negros, na 12ª rodada. Daqueles, quem esteve presente desta vez foi Neymar, que naquela ocasião saiu com a derrota. Agora, sob histeria da torcida feminina, que gritava toda vez que pegava na bola, o craque voltou a ser o destaque. Fez gol, comemorou inspirado em passos que aprendeu com as dançarinas do Faustão e comandou o time com seu repertório de grandes jogadas. Mas saiu novamente sem a vitória. O Flamengo reagiu e, comandado pelo garoto Thomás, conseguiu o empate por 1 a 1.
Flamengo saved the point to stay in fourth place with 52 points.
In our last six matches Flamengo has four wins and two draws.
Vasco defeated Bahia 2-0.
Corinthians and Internacional tied at one all.
Botafogo lost to Avai 3-2.
Gigante de Colina is in the pole position with 57 points.
Timao is second with 55.
Fogao is third with 52.
Mengao is fourth with 52 because Botafogo has 15 wins while Flamengo has 13 wins.
Two of our top guys were missing Thiago Neves and Ronaldinho Gaucho due to stupidity.
Stupid is as stupid does.

One match was played in the Brasileiros Serie A mid-week. Santos took it Botafogo. Peixe shut out Fogao 2-0.
This loss to Santos cost Botafogo big time.

Timao has a plus 13 while Gigante de Colina is a plus 12.

There are some huge matches to be played this weekend.
Rubro-Negro has a hot date with Santos on Sunday at Mengao’s house in Rio de Janeiro.
We have to win this sucker to keep our chances of winning the Brasileiros Serie A title.
Flamengo can’t afford to have any brain farts such as Ronaldinho Gaucho getting the heave-hoe or playing crappy “D”.
Well guess what the mister genus Ronaldinho Gaucho is not playing due to his stupid red card in last weeks match.
Add to the bye-bye list Thiago Neves. He is suspended também.
This is a killer.
These suspensions will kill the Flamengo’s attack.
UOL- Com isso, diminui a lista de desfalques no meio campo do time comandado por Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Thiago Neves e Ronaldinho estão suspensos e Botinelli, machucado. Renato deverá formar o meio de campo ao lado de Airton, Willians e mais um jogador a ser escolhido pelo treinador. Thomas e Fierro são algumas das opções.
The come on man award of the week goes to Ronaldinho Gaucho.
Corinthians takes on Internacional at Colorado’s house- Porto Alegre.
Vasco takes a trip to Salvador to battle Bahia.
Botafogo goes to Avai’s house on Saturday.
This is what we call nut-cutting time.
There are eight matches left in the season.

My guys from Flamengo picked up a huge 1-0 road win over Ceara.
The saving grace was Deivid.
He scored the match winner in the 40th minute.
Ronaldinho Gaucho committed a huge brain fart when he got into a shoving match with Ceara’s Heleno in the 50th minute.
Both idiots were sent to the showers.
Mengao was able to hang on for the win.
UOL wrote this- Com duas vitórias a menos que o time paulista, e uma atrás do rival carioca, o Flamengo, mesmo sem contar com Ronaldinho Gaúcho, que foi expulso, durante praticamente todo o segundo tempo, chegou a terceira colocação e torcerá pelo tropeço de adversário diretos neste domingo, como Botafogo e São Paulo, para se manter cada vez mais perto do topo da tabela de classificação. Já o Ceará, permaneceu com 32 pontos e se complicou na briga para fugir do rebaixamento.
Ronaldinho Gaucho and Thiago Neves set up the match winning goal-
Contando com a volta de Ronaldinho Gaúcho e a excelente fase de Thiago Neves, o Flamengo conseguia furar o bloqueio cearense e dominava a partida, criando boas chances e mostrando que o gol era questão de tempo. E ele não demorou a sair. Aos 40 minutos, após desperdiçar algumas oportunidades, Deivid aproveitou excelente cruzamento pela esquerda de Thiago Neves e finalizou de cabeça para o fundo das redes, abrindo o placar e assegurando a vantagem de 1 a 0 ao final da primeira etapa.
Net minder Felipe came up big for Mengao.
He made two really good saves.
This was the difference in the match.
The win gave Rubro-Negro 51 points.
This is good enough for 4th place.
We are three points outta first place.
Corinthians is top dog with 54 points.
Timao took care of business beating Cruzeiro 1-0.
Vasco is in second place with 54 points.
Gigante de Colina shut out Atletico-MG 2-0.
Botafogo is third with 52 points
Fogao defeated Atletico-PR 2-0.

This was another one of those nut cutting time matches for Brasil. Sure this sucker was only a friendly but a ton was riding on the outcome.
Brasil scored a 2-1 win over Mexico.
The Mexicans used their top guys while Brasil rested most of their premier players. Only Ronaldinho Gaucho and Neymar played.
Enter the second team that featured Hulk, Oliveira Jefferson in goal, Adriano, Luis Fernando.
An own goal in the 12th minute by Luiz and a stupid red card given to chief idiot Dani Alves almost killed Brasileiros chances of winning.
These were two huge brain farts.
Mexico looked good.
The Mexicans shredded the Brasil defense however they could not put the ball into the back of the net against the second string.
This is not good.
Brasil showed heart.
The guys didn’t quit.
Goals by Ronaldinho Gaucho 79th minute and Marcelo in the 83rd minute sealed the deal for Brasil.
Menezes is not that good of a coach.
Brasil is missing their best playmaker in Kaka.
Kaka is regaining his form.
Yet, without his playmaking ability Brasileiros will struggle scoring.
The guys can’t finish.
This is a big problem.
Ronaldinho Gaucho is slowly regaining the form that made him one of the best players in the world.
This happened when he was sent back to Brasil in disgrace. Gaucho needed to learn how to stop being a star and learn how to be a teammate.
Flamengo and now Brasil are reaping these rewards.
Is Gaucho the answer?
In the short run yes not in the long run.
UOL wrote this- Ronaldinho Gaúcho e Marcelo salvaram a seleção brasileira em amistoso contra o México. Mesmo com um jogador a menos e em noite pouco inspirada, o meia e o lateral brilharam e garantiram a virada por 2 a 1. O resultado ofuscou as falhas do sistema defensivo montado por Mano Menezes. A equipe fez gol contra com David Luiz no início do confronto e teve Daniel Alves expulso ainda no primeiro tempo.
Principal aposta de Mano nesta fase da seleção, Ronaldinho encerrou tabu com a camisa da seleção brasileira. O meia tinha a marca de quatro anos sem marcar pela equipe. Seu último gol havia sido na vitória por 5 a 0 sobre o Equador, nas Eliminatórias da Copa-2010, em outubro de 2007. O desempenho de Marcelo também foi importante, já que o lateral deve ganhar mais espaço após passar período sem ter chances com o treinador
The big surprise of the day came when mighty Argentina came crashing back to earth.
Argentinos had their pride stomped on by Venezuela
Venezuela defeated Argentina 1-0.
Messi and company stunk the joint out.
Maybe Argentina is a team full of head cases.
This is the first time a Cesar Farias side defeated Albicelestes.
A goal by Fernando Amorebieta in the 61st minute sealed the deal for Venezuela.
Paraguay and Uruguay tied at one all.
Diego Forlán scored for the Uruguayans.
Cristian Riveros scored for the Paraguayans.
Chile doubled up Peru 4-2.
Columbia downed Bolivia 2-1.
After two matches Uruguay has four points and they sit a top the leader board.
Ecuador, Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Chile, and Venezuela all have three points.
Paraguay has one point and Bolivia is at the butt end of the table with nada.

Vasco is hanging in there. Colina de Gigante is top dog in the Brasileiros Serie A with 50 points. Corinthians is in second place with 48 points.
Vasco and Timao tied two all last weekend.
This tie kept the door open for Flamengo.
The guys are hanging out in sixth place with 44 points.
Mengao has now a two match-winning streak after going winless from August 6th until September 23rd.
During this time span we dropped four matches in a row.
Not good garoto.
The guys have regained their stride.
Our next match is on Sunday against archrival Fluminense. This is another one of those must win suckers.
Flu is in fifth place with 44 points também however Po-de Arroz has three more wins that us even though Mengao is a plus nine compared with Flu’s plus six.
We need to get Ronaldinho Gaucho more involved in the scoring.
Gaucho has scored 13 goals.
He is in second place.
Top goal scorer is Borges from Santos.
He has 19 goals.
Deivid has scored ten goals for Flamengo.
He is tied for fourth place.
Thiago Neves has scored six goals for Rubro-Negro.
This is good enough for eight place.
The big problem for Flamengo is that they are only converting 12.6% of their scoring chances.
Mengao is currently in 13th place converting scoring chances.
Palmeiras is the best club at converting scoring chances at 15.9 %.
Flamengo has scored 44 goals and has given up 35.
Mengao is the top scoring team in the Brasileiros Serie A.
Ten teams has have given up more goals than Rubro-Negro.

Four years ago Vasco was sent down to D-2 ball. Three years ago Gigante de Colina climbed out of the morass and made it back to Serie A. Last year Vasco was on the verge of getting sent down now they are sitting pretty.
Vasco is the pole sitter with 49 points.
My guys from Flamengo stopped the bleeding last Sunday with a huge win.
This was Rubro-Negro’s first win since August 6th.
Now lets see if Mengao get another one of those bad boys.
Flamengo is in sixth place with 41 points.
We have a hot date with Sao Paulo at their house Sunday October 2nd.
This is another one of those must win sucker.
Tricolor is in third place with 46 points.
Mengao player Alex Silva will be facing his old club Sao Paulo. Silva said this about his return to Morumbi. “Joguei muito tempo lá no São Paulo e conheço bem as características. Tive a chance de jogar ao lado de quase todos os jogadores e isso pode ajudar na hora do confronto. Aos poucos, estou passando as informações para meus companheiros e também para a comissão técnica. Vamos conversar bastante para conseguirmos a vitória”, afirmou, ao site oficial do clube, acrescentando.
“Conheço bem o Dagoberto, o Lucas, e outros jogadores do São Paulo. Isso facilita um pouco na marcação. É importante ter determinação e conseguir sair do Morumbi com uma vitória. Acho que isso será fundamental para uma arrancada rumo ao título”, completou.
Flamengo is now nearing the home stretch of the season. There is a little over two months left in the season.
Mengao is eight points behind the pole sitter Vasco.
Ronaldinho Gaucho, Deivid, and the Felipe have to come up big.
We can’t afford to give up early cheap goals. If this happens it will be a long Sunday afternoon.

Mengao stopped the bleeding. Flamengo and Botafogo tied one all on Sunday.
This tie stopped the losing skid at four matches. Sure we haven’t won since August 9th but at least Rubro-Negro got the all-allusive point.
Flamengo is in sixth place 37 points.
Corinthians lost to Santos 1-0.
Vasco killed Gremio 4-0.
Gigante de Colina is in the pole position with 45 points.
Sao Paulo picked up a huge 4-0 win over Ceara.
Fluminense lost to Bahia 3-0.
Internacional and Coritiba tied at one all.
If Colorado won they would have passed Mengao in the table.
Fogao drew first blood in the 25th minute.
Abreu ripped the twines for a 1-0 lead.
Mengao found the answer in the 49th minute.
Jael deposited the ball into the back of the net to save Flamengo’s bacon.
UOL wrote this-Thiago Neves, apesar de não fazer uma boa partida, chamou a responsabilidade e fez todas as finalizações do time na primeira etapa. Ronaldinho Gaúcho era boa opção jogando mais pela esquerda, mas não estava acertando o último passe. Na volta do intervalo, o técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo tirou o inoperante Deivid para colocar Jael. E a mudança surtiu efeito. Em seu primeiro lance, o atacante driblou Antônio Carlos e fez um belo gol, 1 a 1.
Up next for Mengao is Atletico-MG- Na próxima rodada o Botafogo enfrenta o Grêmio, na quinta-feira, às 20h30, no Olímpico. Já o Flamengo, por sua vez, viajará até Minas Gerais, onde medirá forças com o Atlético-MG, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h50, na Arena do Jacaré.
The truth is Mengao is playing like crap. Ronaldinho Gaucho isn’t playing worth a damn. Neither is Deivid nor Thiago Neves. The entire squad needs to be shot at dusk for crappy play.
We are in a world of hurt.
Globo Esporte wrote this about the clássico battle between Mengao and Fogao- O Botafogo saiu na frente, com direito a deboche de Loco Abreu, dominou no primeiro tempo e deu a impressão que colaria no líder Vasco. Porém, a troca de Deivid por Jael no intervalo funcionou, e o Flamengo arrancou um empate por 1 a 1 no clássico deste domingo, no Engenhão. É a terceira vez que as duas equipes terminam iguais este ano, a segunda nesta edição de Campeonato Brasileiro.
We need to have wins baby.

My guys from Flamengo have a hot date with Corinthians on Thursday at Timao’s house in Sao Paulo. Corinthians has dropped three out of their last four matches while Mengao has lost two straight.
On Wednesday Sao Paulo defeated Atletico-MG 2-1. Botafogo killed Ceara 4-1.
Tricolor is top dog in the Brasileiros Serie A with 41 points.
Fogao is second with 40 points.
Both my boo-Mengao and Timao have to win this sucker.
We can’t afford to drop three straight and remain in contact with the leader board.
Rubro-Negro has 36 points.
Flamengo is currently in fifth place.
In Mengao’s last six matches we have three loses and three ties.
This is not good garoto.
In head to head competition with Timao Mengao has 19 wins, 16 losses, and 15 ties.
Ronaldinho Gaucho will be back in action tonight for Flamengo.
UOL- Equipes que atingiram o auge durante o primeiro turno, Corinthians e Flamengo não conseguem repetir uma nova sequência de vitórias. Se antes fariam uma final antecipada, o clima para o duelo é de incógnita. O time alvinegro segue como líder, entretanto perdeu três dos últimos quatro jogos
Com o retorno de Ronaldinho da seleção brasileira, o Flamengo tenta se recuperar após seis partidas sem vitórias na competição. O episódio do “pum” mexeu com os ânimos de Vanderlei Luxemburgo, mas as convocação de Renato Abreu, Ronaldinho e Thiago Neves para a seleção funcionam como um combustível extra em um momento delicado.

Mengao is back at it against Corinthians on Thursday. Flamengo takes a trip to Timao’s house in Sao Paulo.
Corinthians is top dog with 40 points.
Rubro-Negro is buried in fourth place with 36 points.
We are working on a two match-losing streak.
Can Flamengo stop the bleeding with a win or tie?
I sure as hell hope so.
Timao has been either one or two in the table since the Brasileiro Serie A began in May.
Ronaldinho Gaucho should be back in action on Thursday.
We sure as heck need him in the lineup.
Gaucho has scored 12 goals this season.
He is in second place two behind Borges of Santos who has 14 goals.
Let’s remember Ronaldinho Gaucho has missed two matches due to two yellow cards and international duty last Sunday.
Mate Deivid has scored eight goals for Mengao and he is in fifth place in the race for the top goal scorer.
Thiago Neves has four goals and he is in ninth place in goals scored.
This is a must win for the boo-Mengao’s.
We can’t afford to fall any further behind the front-runner Timao.

Ghana and Brasil battled in an international friendly at Craven Cottage, London, England.
Brasil escaped with 1-0 win over a short-handed Ghana side.
This was an ugly match.
Eight yellow cards plus a red card in the 33rd minute to Ghana’s Daniel Opare.
The difference in the match was Leandro Damiao who nailed the match winner in the 45th minute.
He replaced Ganso who was hurt in the 10th minute.
Even though Ghana was reduced to ten men Brasil couldn’t crack the code.
Globo Radio’s best analyst Luis Mendes said that Brasil needs to improve a lot if they are going to compete for the 2014 World Cup Crown.
Mendes said that the addition of Ronaldinho Gaucho made a big difference in Brasil’s play.
Gaucho played very well. He is the best player in Brasil right now.
Gaucho was a head case before he was forced back to Brasil.
When this happened to Ronaldinho Gaucho this forced him to change.
He became a team player.
This was the best thing that could have happened to him.
Gaucho is now the total team player
Before he thought he had to be the star.
Since Gaucho was forced to play for Flamengo he learned futebol is a team game.
Gaucho leads the club in scoring and assists.
The Brasil national team needs a complete overhaul.
Sure in fusion of younger players is great but the guys need a playmaker.
When Kaka went down with an injured knee Brasil lost their creator.
Ronaldinho Gaucho is learning how to fill this role.
However Kaka is a key part of the team.
Without Kaka Brasil will struggle big time.
UOL wrote this- A seleção de Mano Menezes reencontrou o caminho das vitórias nesta segunda-feira ao passar pelo jogo bruto de Gana por 1 a 0 no estádio Craven Cottage, em Londres. Em sua segunda chance como titular, Leandro Damião atestou a reputação de artilheiro do futebol nacional na temporada com seu primeiro gol pelo Brasil. Num jogo exageradamente físico, incomum para amistosos, a equipe volta a ganhar e ameniza a pressão erguida após os insucessos na Copa América a nos testes contra adversários de peso.
Ghana played dirty in this match. UOL said it was violent-
Com chuva e frio na noite de Londres, a partida foi marcada por jogadas ríspidas e cartões. Os africanos basearam seu jogo na força física e conseguiram equilibrar o duelo por algum tempo. Mas, antes mesmo do fim do primeiro tempo, Gana perdeu um jogador, expulso após entrada violenta. Com formação inédita, o time de Mano por sua vez não foi brilhante, também deixou se contagiar pelo clima “pegado” do amistoso em alguns excessos, mas conseguiu eficiência para decidir o confronto.
For Brasil to win they must improve tremendously if not it will be a long World Cup the Brasileiros.
