Vitória on the rise. Joao Vitor scores in fine fashion. And Neymar, Neymar, Neymar. Today on the blog Jack Lang returns with the best of Brazilian football from the month of May.
The Team – Vitória
Sometimes it pays to be patient. Just ask Esporte Clube Vitória. Relegated from Série A in 2010, the club from Salvador endured a miserable couple of years, ceded local bragging rights to city rivals Bahia and losing star players Elkeson, Egídio and Ander...

Palmeiras turn it around. Clarence Seedorf conquers hearts. And Ronaldo still has it. Today on the blog Jack Lang returns to take us through the best (and worst) in the last month of Brazilian football.
The Team – Palmeiras
You may recall that we celebrated the exploits of Mirassol in
last month’s round-up. The minnows recorded an incredible 6-2 wins against traditional powerhouses Palmeiras – a result that threatened to start a whole new wave of finger pointing and uncer...

Mirassol defeat Palmeiras by 4 goals. Oscar scores with frieza against Italy. And Engenhão stadium is found to have structural weaknesses. Today on the blog Jack Lang takes us through last month's best and worst of Brazilian football.
The Team – Mirassol
In a month in which no side has particularly stood out, let’s go for Mirassol, a modest side from the state of São Paulo. Perennial midtable cloggers in the Campeonato Paulista, the Leão da Alta Araraquarense...

Flemengo. Ronaldinho. A goal from Jo and the disgraceful behaviour of Brazil's torcidas organizadas. Today Jack Lang takes us through the highlights (and unfortunate lowlights) in the last month of Brazilian football.
The team – Flamengo
Fans of Flamengo, Brazil’s best-supported team, would have been forgiven for expecting a rather slow start to 2013. While entirely sensible, the budgetary constraints imposed by new president Eduardo Bandeira de Mello appeared likely to undermine...

Rivaldo is back in Brazil. Carlos Alberto kicks a ripping goal. Today on the blog Jack Lang takes us through the highlights (and lowlights) of Brazilian football this past month.
The Team – Santos U19
Youth football isn’t usually deemed particularly newsworthy in most parts of the world, not least because there’s already so many top-level matches to watch (particularly in the internet age). There simply isn’t enough time in the day to justify a decision to watch Manch...

Corinthians claim the Club World Cup, Maicon kicks a delicious goal and Samuel gets a little ahead of himself. Today on the blog Jack Lang offers the highlights of the past month in Brazilian football.
The Team – Corinthians
15,000 fans turned up at the airport on December 3 as the Corinthians set off for the Club World Cup in Japan. At least that number were in attendance for the 1-0 semi-final win over Al Ahly – a game that felt (and sounded) like a home tie for the Timã...

What were the highlights (and lowlights) in Brazilian football through November? Today on the blog Jack Lang takes us through the best and worst of the last month in Brazilian football.
The Team: Fluminense
Sometimes it’s best just to keep things simple. So it proved for Fluminense this year; the Rio club may not have played the most attractive football in Série A (that honour goes to Atlético Mineiro, although São Paulo have put up a fight in recent weeks), but th...

It’s been an action-packed October in Brazilian football, with the Série A title race hotting up and the seleção playing Iraq and Japan. If some of it has passed you by, fear not: help is at hand. Here’s Jack Lang with a handy round-up of the last month…
The Team: Brazil
While a few Brasileirão sides impressed in October (Atlético-MG for keeping the title race alive; São Paulo for playing some of the best football of the year; Spor...
