    The Best Of Brazilian Football

    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...

    The Best Of Brazilian Football

    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.

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...

    The Best Of Brazilian Football

    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...

    The Best Of Brazilian Football : February 2012

    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...
