Currently out of Brasilia, the update ahead of tonight’s game is the shortest possible. What you need to know: After last week’s resounding 4-0 against Paraná, Scolari used the press conference to heavily – but nevertheless only between the lines – criticise president Tirone, vice-president Frizzo and juridical director Piraci de Oliveira. Scolari’s wish list [...]

Players have been leaving in a steady stream: Gerley and Chico are now defending first division teams Bahia and Coritiba respectively, while Tinga (Ceará), Fernandão (Atlético Paranaense) and recently also Pedro Carmona (São Caetano) will have to [...]

Life’s a bitch and keeps the pace. This coming Wednesday will prove more important than Sunday ever was, as Palmeiras take on Paraná at the Durival Britto stadium in Curitiba. Paraná is a second division team – both nationally and in their state league – and have not done very well this year. The return [...]

Deola reaches 100 This Sunday against Comercial in the last round of the pre-knockout phase of the São Paulo Cup, 28-year-old successor of Saint Marcos, Deola, completes 100 games for Palmeiras. Let’s hope that he will be able to look back on the game with pleasure and that three point will suffice to propel Palmeiras [...]
Many questions, no answers

Although the match could have gone either way – as both Guarani and especially Palmeiras blew many great opportunities to score – the result was not at all unfair. Guarani were the better team yesterday and at large dominated the show, setting the rhythm and really taking advantage of the nervousness they caused when putting [...]

Divine Design Last Tuesday one of Brazil’s most respected and well known footballers turned 70: midfielder Ademir da Guia, aka “Divino” (the Divine) played a record 901 games for Palmeiras between 1961 and 1977, the year he retired from the pitch. A true palestrino in heart and soul, Ademir is a living memory of glorious [...]
