FLAMENGO TAKES LEAD IN BRASILERAO

Flamengo is the new leader of the Brazilian National Championship (Brasileirão). The RJ team beat Coritiba by 1-0 at the Engenhao stadium. Yet again, Ronaldinho Gaucho was fundamental to get three more points. It was Ronaldinho´s precise cross in the last minute to Jael that helped the young striker to score the winner....see the video of the goal here.

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.
