Flamengo came up big against hated and bitter foe Fluminense. Flu is the defending Serie A champion.
Rubro-Negro and Flu was a battle royal.
The match changer happened in the 71st minute.
Williams nailed the close ranger header to seal the deal for Mengao.
Ronaldinho Gaucho set up this entire sequence with a great pass to mate Junior Cesar on the left wing.
Cesar settled the ball on left side of the box. Junior Cesar swung the ball to mate to Thiago Neves dead center of the box. Neves chipped the ball to Williams who was camped near the right post.
All Williams had to do was deposit this sucker into the back of the net.
Nothing but the back of the net.
Game, set, and match for Flamengo.
Flamengo now has 19 points.
Mengao is three points behind the pole sitter Corinthians.
Timao has 22 points but we must remember Corinthians has a game in hand.
With the addition of Ronaldinho Gaucho has made Flamengo a more dangerous club.
Gaucho is learning how to be a team player instead of a scorer. Maybe his head case of wanting to be the focal point of the entire side is over.
Ronaldinho Gaucho in his last the four matches has three goals and two assists.
Since June 19th Mengao is one a four match-winning streak.
We haven’t lost a match all season.
Rubro-Negro has five wins and four ties.
Up next for Mengao is Palmeiras on Sunday July 17th in Sao Paulo. Alviverde will have the advantage in their house Pacaembu.
Palmeiras sits in fourth place with 18 points.
This will be a classic between two very good sides.

Na sequência de quatro empates diante de Bahia (3 a 3), Atlético-PR (1 a 1), Corinthians (1 a 1) e Botafogo (0 a 0), o Flamengo conviveu com as críticas e uma ponta de crise que alfinetava o elenco. Quatro vitórias depois, o time ocupa a vice-liderança do Brasileirão, com 19 pontos, segue invicto na competição e contabiliza apenas uma derrota na temporada. Vanderlei Luxemburgo aponta mudanças cirúrgicas em alguns pontos
cruciais do time, mas deixa claro que ainda é preciso melhorar.
Flamenguista for life.

Flamengo is free falling down the table fast. Next up ground floor. Then you’re outta here.
This is not good.
Mengao lost to Sao Paulo 2-0 at Morumbi on Wednesday night.
Our win drought currently sits at six matches.
Two goals in our last six matches ain’t gonna cut the mustard either.
This is down right pathetic.
This sucks big time.
Rubro-Negro is one step above the drop zone.
Flamengo has 20 points and currently resides in 16th place.
Atletico-MG is in 17th place.
Galo has 17 points.
We need help.
Mengao doesn’t have a striker.
Guess what? No goals no win.
No tickie no washy fool.
Tricolor ripped the twines in the 8th minute. Marlos received a great pass from mate Marcelinho. Marlos had an easy shot past keeper Marcelo Lomba.
In the 42nd minute Marlos returns the favor. He hits mate Fernandao. Fernandao nails the header past a helpless Lomba.
Game, set, and match to Sao Paulo.
This time Mengao’s defense didn’t show up at all.
UOL-O time da casa se aproveitou das falhas da defesa do Flamengo – que mais uma vez caiu de produção com Jean de titular – e foi letal, aproveitando muito bem as poucas chances que teve na etapa. Marlos e Fernandão fizeram os gols do São Paulo no primeiro tempo, sendo que o camisa 15 são-paulino ainda cabeceou uma bola na trave
No offense, no defense makes for a long night.
Hell, lets give the entire team time off. They don’t need to play and we’ll use the JV squad. I bet the JV squad would do better. Flamengo’s first team is worse than stink.
O Flamengo não teve nem de longe o forte poderio ofensivo apresentado no jogo contra o Santos. Deivid mostrou que ainda está fora de forma e pouco produziu. Já Diogo teve a proeza de em dois minutos ser expulso em lances bobos. “Com um homem a menos aqui sempre foi muito difícil”, lamentou Léo Moura na saída do gramado no intervalo.
The bad news is this both Leo Moura, Diogo, and Williams will miss Saturday’s match against Vitoria.

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 44th 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 took care of business in Caracas, Venezuela on Wednesday night. Flamengo took it to the home side and won going away 3-1 in the Copa Libertadores.
Vagner Love continued his torrid scoring pace.
Love hit the daily double.
Rubro-Negro’s first goal was the result of a penalty. Leonardo Moura made a great run into the box. He fired a wicked pass to Petkovic. The ball nipped the hand of Caracas defender Romero.
Magic presto Mengao has a gift.
Love nailed the PK in the 35th minute to give us a 1-0 lead.
Caracas tied this baby up in the 65th minute.
Castellin whipped a pass to mate Alvaro. Alvaro flat out beat Bruno to level the match at one all.
Flamengo pressed the attack.
Mengao was rewarded in the 79th minute.
Vagner Love took it straight to the rack. He fired a rocket that hit the crossbar. The shot went ker plunk into the back of the net.
Mengao was up 2-1.
Rubro-Negro put this puppy away in the 93rd minute.
Kleberson stole the ball in the Caracas end of the pitch. He whipped a pass to Rodrigo Alvirn.
Alvirn nailed this gimmie to put Caracas out of their misery.
We now are atop Group 8 with six points.
Yes, this was a much-needed win for Mengao in Caracas’s house.
Mengao entered this match with a lot of crazy stuff happening. Adriano had to miss this match because he and his fiancé are fighting.
Besides that, The Emperor is out of shape.
UOL www.uol.com.br had this to say- O Flamengo entrou em campo nesta quarta-feira, contra o Caracas, na Venezuela, sabendo que somente uma vitória faria com que a crise na Gávea fosse amenizada após a polêmica em torno de Adriano na última semana. Mesmo pressionado e com um a menos durante boa parte do segundo tempo, o time se superou e, sob a batuta de Vagner Love, autor de dois gols, venceu mais uma sem o Imperador, desta vez por 3 a 1.
Without Adriano head man Andrade used Love as his lone striker. Petkovic was moved into the midfield. Sem o astro, o técnico Andrade optou por deixar apenas Vagner Love no ataque e voltou a escalar Petkovic como titular. Desde o Fla-Flu do dia 31 de janeiro, o qual foi substituído no intervalo e abandonou o estádio, o sérvio não iniciava um jogo.
Mengao defender Toro was sent to the sin bin for rough play in the 53rd minute. This could have cost Mengao the match but the guys sucked it up and powered through being a man down to take the win.
Globo Esporte http://globoesporte.globo.com/ had this to say- O Flamengo conseguiu uma vitória heroica sobre o Caracas, nesta quarta-feira, na Venezuela, pela Taça Libertadores, que serviu para afastar a crise do “caso Chatuba”, que tomou conta da Gávea nos últimos dias. Mesmo sem Adriano, o time venceu por 3 a 1, e o segundo tempo foi emocionante. O Rubro-Negro teve um jogador a menos desde os minutos iniciais – Toró recebeu o cartão vermelho. Vagner Love fez dois gols, e Rodrigo Alvim, o terceiro. Castellín marcou o da equipe da casa.
Two bad things happened to Mengao. First Willams was lost due to an injury and then Toro was sent off for his second yellow card. The second card was an ugly foul. The ref had to send him bye-bye.
A partir daí, dois fatos inesperados. O primeiro aconteceu quando Fernando sentiu um problema muscular e teve de deixar o campo. Quando o Flamengo estava com um a menos, Gabriel Cichero deu um drible entre as pernas de Toró, que fez falta feia, recebeu o segundo amarelo e foi expulso. Em dois minutos, Andrade ficou sem seus dois volantes de marcação. O jeito foi improvisar Rodrigo Alvim, que substituiu Fernando.
Not a pretty win but us Flamengistas will take it.

Flamengo started out their match against Universidad Catolica with a dud. Mengao player Williams was given the heave-hoe in the second minute of the match. I guess Williams decided he didn’t like Martinez’s face so Williams gave it a little rearranging.
This was a no-no.
Bamo just like that we are one man down.
Up stepped Leo Moura who gave Rubro-Negro the lift we needed. He stopped. He popped and nailed the winner in the 10th minute to give us 1-0 lead.
Not to be out done in stupidity Catolica returned the red card favor in the 42nd minute. Diaz fired a wicked shot on goal. Clank the ball bounds off the cross bar. His mate Mirosevic didn’t like it so he decided to take out his frustration on Mengao player Toro.
I guess Mirosevic thought he was in the WWF so he stomped on his gut. He was given the you are outta here by the ref in the 42nd minute.
Now we are all even Steven at ten men.
Flamengo made em pay in the 58th minute. Leo Moura fed a perfect ball to Adriano. The Emperor rattled the cages to give us the 2-0 lead.
Vagner Love had a chance to make 3-0 but he wore the choke collar when he missed the gimmie PK late in the 82nd minute.
A chance do terceiro gol saiu após passe de Adriano para Love. O Artilheiro do Amor foi puxado na área e, após consultar o bandeirinha, Amarilla marcou pênalti. Porém, o atacante cobrou mal, por cima do travessão.
This win snapped our winless schnid of opening round matches in the Copa at nine. This was our first win on opening day since 1984.
A huge shout out to the guys and way to go garoto.
UOL www.uol.com.br wrote about it this way: O primeiro tempo não foi dos melhores, mas, com uma grande atuação de Léo Moura e com considerável melhora no segundo tempo, o Flamengo não teve grandes dificuldades para vencer o Universidad Católica por 2 a 0, nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, na estreia do time na Copa Libertadores da América. Com o resultado, o time brasileiro chegou aos três pontos no Grupo 8 da competição. Léo Moura e Adriano marcaram para o time da casa. Foi o segundo triunfo do clube carioca em estreias na competição. A primeira foi em 1984 quando bateu o Santos.
Yes, a win is a win but Adriano and the guys were just not quite all there. There were many holes in the Flamengo “D”. Globo Esporte wrote it this way: Para dificultar ainda mais as ações ofensivas do time brasileiro, Adriano não estava em noite inspirada. Mal posicionado, foi presa fácil para a marcação adversária. Aos 34, Fuentes subiu sozinho após cobrança de escanteio e cabeceou com muito perigo.
The Chilean side had their chances but they missed it by that much. O gol dos chilenos ficou ainda mais perto quando Díaz bateu falta no travessão , aos 42 minutos. Só que, na volta, Mirosevic perdeu a cabeça e pisou na barriga de Toró. O árbitro o expulsou e igualou as equipes com dez em campo.
I am happy with the win but jeez, guys we really have to improve immensely if we are going to make it out of the Group stage.
Corinthians and Cruzeiro had hot dates in the Copa as well.
Corinthians took care of business by doubling up on Racing-Uruguay 2-1.
Cruzeiro clobbered Colo-Colo 4-1.
Kleber hit the daily double for Raposa.
