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.

The 40th edition of the world´s most difficult football championship began on Saturday, May 21. The 2009 champion, Flamengo of Rio got off to a great start with a 4-0 win over Avai. Ronaldinho Gaucho scored two goals and showed to be in very good form.That same day, another of RJ´s most famous clubs, Vasco da Gama, played its first match in Fortaleza against Ceará and also won by 3-1. On Sunday, May 22, the other teams from Rio did not do so well. Botafogo lost to Palmeiras by 1-0 and Fluminense (the 2010 champions) lost at home to São Paulo F.C by 2-0. Anyway there are still 37 more matches to be played so the teams that lost have plenty of time to recover. Until now many local football experts have stated that two of the favorites to win this year´s Brasileirão are Flamengo and Santos. Flamengo won this year´s Rio de Janeiro State Championships and is coached by the experienced Wanderley Luxemburgo.
