Ronaldinho scores great goal for Flamengo !

Just when the Flamengo fans were beginning to complain about R10's (Ronaldinho´s nickname) poor performances on the pitch (has been seen several times at discoteques and at late hours) , the midfielder put his act together and helped his team to beat Atletico Mineiro this weekend. The match was played on Saturday at the Engenhão Stadium in Rio, and it seemed that it was going to be a disastrous evening for Flamengo, since Atletico was the first to score. At this moment Ronaldinho began to make his presence on the pitch as he organized his team´s attack and equalized with a fantastic goal. (See the goals courtesy of Globoesporte).

Now my question is: Why did Mano menezes leave him out of the Brazilian national team for Copa America? Brazil´s first match is on July 3 against Venzuela. Mano, you are making the same mistake as Dunga inj the 2010 World Cup. Ronaldinho can win a match in half an hour,even if he is still not 100% fit.

EDMUNDO RELEASED......

In the end, Edmundo was detained for only 18 hours, was released on a habeas corpus .Now he is a sports presenter at Band TV. It seems he will be cleared of the case. Ronaldinho Gaucho is not doing too well, the fans are not too happy with him, too much partying.

EDMUNDO ARRESTED !!

UPDATE !!!!!........YESTERDAY I REPORTED THAT THE RIO DE JANEIRO STATE POLICE WAS SEARCHING FOR EDMUNDO, THE FAMOUS FOOTBALL PLAYER. THEY LOOKED FOR HIM IN FIVE ADDRESSES IN RIO, BUT COULDNT FIND HIM. WHY? BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE CITY OF SAO PAULO, ANOTHER STATE. THEY FOUND HIM LAST NIGHT IN AN APART HOTEL IN A POSH AREA KNOWN AS ITAIM BIBI. EDMUNDO KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE ARRESTED, SO WHY DIDNT HE GIVE HIMSELF IN? THE RJ POLICE SPENT A LOT OT TIME AND MONEY...THIS WAS BAD EDMUNDO, YOU WERE A VERY GOOD PLAYER, NOW THE JUDGE WILL BE ANGRY AT YOU FOR AVOIDING ARREST, GIVE YOU HARD TIME. MAYBE HE WILL GO TO JAIL FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

ARREST WARRANT FOR EDMUNDO !

The former star of the Brazilian national team and Vasco da Gama F.C. is accused of being responsible of the death of 3 people in 1995. In December that year, Edmundo crashed his 4x4 station wagon into another car at the Lagoa district of Rio de Janeiro. Joana Martins, Carlos Britis and Alessandra Cristini died that day. Yesterday Judge Carlos Eduardo de Figueiredo issued the arrest warrant against Edmundo, and until now there are no news of his whereabouts. According to Edmundo´s lawyer, Arthur Lavigne, the order is surprising since he thought that the case had prescripted after more than 10 years.

VASCO DA GAMA WINS 2011 COPA DO BRASIL!

RJ TEAM QUALIFIES FOR 2012 COPA LIBERTADORES

Vasco put on a great peformance last night in Coritiba against the local team and won the Copa Brasil for the first time its history. Since Vasco had won the first match against Coritiba F.C by 1-0, all it needed was a 0-0 draw to be champions. Vasco started off very well by scoring the first goal in the 12th minute, but the home team fought back and the first half ended 2-1 to Coritiba, that needed to win by a 2 goal margin. After 15 minutes 0f the second half, Elder Luis scored with a long range shot for Vasco and the fans went crazy, sensing the victory to be near. Coritiba scored yet again, but it was too late, the match ended and Vasco is the new champion of the Copa Brasil. Valeu, Vasco !
