Copa Libertadores 2021
- Thread starter drgriffen
- Start date
I had the true pleasure of going to the Maracana with Ronnie Biggs abs his son Mikey to watch Flamengo v Fluminense in 1986 in front of about 120,000. It’s the Maracana derby and they don’t like each other much!!
It was the best 0-0 game I had ever seen as It was like watching football from another planet.
Having played on the beaches of Rio one day I understood why the players had to be so technically brilliant.
It’s scorching hot with 100% humidity so you cannot really runaround.
You pass the ball and then you keep the ball close before you pass it again!!
At that time we only ever saw the really top South American players at the world cops I just few made it across to Europe apart from in Portugal.

BBC are wank went on to iplayer to watch this on catch up as you can do everything else and it’s not showing.
I’m sure last year they had it on an actual channel and everything.

You have to search for sport in the categories menu of the iPlayer and you will find it

Went to a Corinthians v Santos in São Paulo couple of years (campeonato Paulista tournament). One of the big São Paulo derbys. Atmosphere was unreal. Corinthians won 2-0.

@bluetonic wont be happy. Gremio relegated!

How Gremio, Copa Libertadores champions four years ago, were relegated in Brazil
The club that were champions of South America four years ago will spend 2022 in Brazil's second division.

Yep decent report,what do you expect with Scolari in charge mid season was always desperate and Douglas Costa screams panic buy.
The Rio and Sau Paulo clubs now pulling away as are Minero.
Need to come back up next season but will be hard
