Ignorance is bliss

Not all bad news travel fast. And ignorance is bliss. I for one would certainly not have enjoyed Jaipur and Jodhpur half as much had I known about the disastrous result against Goiás. I was even able to dismiss a funny and worrying feeling, although it kept growing stronger for each hour passing. By the [...]
Goiás 0-1 Palmeiras
Posted in South America Cup, tagged scolari on November 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
As every remaining Palmeiras game in the South America Cup: yesterday’s was the most important game of the year. Goiás came in a 3-5-2, aiming at clogging up the midfield with many people and consistently ruff play. Thanks to the referee’s forgiving attitude, the plan worked out well in the first half; Palmeiras tried and [...]

Four games stand between Palmeiras and this year’s South America Cup title. Tonight, we’ll know our next opponent: Avaí or Goiás. Avaí is in slight advantage, as they drew 2-2 in the away game; a goalless or a 1-1 draw qualifies the team from the state of Santa Catarina. Another 2-2 will result in a [...]

I for one could not get much sleep yesterday night. As of 10pm (GMT-2) tonight (Wednesday), watch Palmeiras-Atlético Mineiro live on www.palmeiraslive.com (choose the “assistir jogos ao vivo” tab).
Atlético Mineiro 1-1 Palmeiras

As expected, Atlético Mineiro came with only three regular pieces, choosing to prioritise the Brasileirão. On the bench, a backup plan in the shape of striker Obina and midfielder Diego Souza, both former Palmeiras players. The initial 20 minutes looked very promising, with Palmeiras putting pressure on Atlético high up on the pitch and El [...]

That means that we will see a Brazilian team in the finals, as the winner of Palmeiras/Atlético mandatory will face either Goiás or Avaí in the semi-finals. In the other [...]
Palmeiras 3-1 Universitario de Sucre
Posted in South America Cup on October 21, 2010 | 50 Comments »
With a pitch in reasonable good conditions and at more normal altitude, Universitario de Sucre proved being nothing close to a menace. Palmeiras naturally and even with ease launched wave after wave of attacks, drawing ever closer to the opponent’s goal. After two very similar and perfect crosses by Gabriel Silva – on the first [...]
Universitario de Sucre 0-1 Palmeiras

Not that the game was executed in slow motion, but there was something not quite right. Universitario de Sucre tried to pace things up, but again and again fell short due to lack of quality players in their squad. And Palmeiras… Well, only a few players showed good flow: Kléber (as always), Tinga and Gabriel [...]
Universitário-Palmeiras: pre-game observations
