Bragantino 1-2 Palmeiras – and what lies ahead

Posted in S. Paulo Championship, tagged , , , , on January 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Palmeiras initiated the season as good as could be asked: three points away against tricky Bragantino in the opening game of the São Paulo Championship. Although none of the two teams presented brilliant football, at least three players stood out from the rest: Cicinho – very strong offensively but less so when in defense (and [...]

Corinthians 0-0 Palmeiras – così sia

Posted in Opinion, Brazilian Championship, tagged , , on December 5, 2011 | 5 Comments »

Only wins by Palmeiras and Vasco would ruin Corinthians’ day. Vasco had the upper hand on Flamengo and so did Palmeiras on Corinthians before some 40.000 spectators, but in the end neither of the results materialised, giving Corinthians their fifth Brazilian Championship title (1990, 1998, 1999, 2005 and now 2011). There’s a lot of palmeirenses [...]

Wet dream

Only a few weeks back, palmeirenses had nothing to look forward to and 2011 was a lost cause. The arrival of Cesar Sampaio and the exit of Judas30 provoked changes, with the away draw against Grêmio serving as a first indicator of possibly better days. The subsequent and convincing win against Bahia distanced Palmeiras from [...]

Bahia are expecting a full house against Palmeiras on Sunday and it seems likely supporters will correspond: by Thursday night close to 20.000 tickets had been sold already. Bahia are in a similar situation as Palmeiras and could, depending on the results of other games taking place on Saturday and earlier on Sunday, even settle [...]

Grêmio await Palmeiras are off to Porto Alegre, facing Grêmio and chasing those few points that would allow us to release a sigh of relief. Scolari has been experimenting with different line-ups during the week and also promoted specific training sessions for defensive and offensive players. The main novelty for Sunday’s game is the presence [...]

Code of Conduct

Posted in Opinion, tagged , , , , on November 10, 2011 | 7 Comments »

Two events marked our timeline today and both involved former golden eggs Kleber and Valdivia: the former has travelled to Porto Alegre and is expected to sign for Grêmio this week; the latter arrived late (and drunk?) to the hotel where the Chilean National Team is gathered and was, together with four other team mates, [...]

Atlético/MG 2-1 Palmeiras

Posted in Brazilian Championship, tagged , , on November 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been dragging my feet to do this write-up of Sunday’s game against Atlético/MG. No need, really: it’ll be quick and rather painless. Isn’t it sad how rapidly we humans adapt to new realities? I’ll just grab some crisps and pour me another dram of malt first… Sunday market Palmeiras’ third straight 2-1 loss. Expectations [...]

Arena Baruari replacing the Canindé stadium Palmeiras have been using the Canindé stadium – belonging to the Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, or Portuguesa in short – for hosting games while the New Arena is being built. After Saturday’s game against Figueirense, Palmeiras supporters clashed with Portuguesa supporters heading toward the Canindé to commemorate their return [...]

It’s all enemy territory

Posted in Administration, Players, Opinion, tagged , , , , , , on September 28, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Whichever way you look at it, Kleber has had a remarkable drop in productivity ever since the payraise/Flamengo incident. Of course you can argue that so has the whole team, but how do you then explain that Palmeiras have actually performed better without the so-called “Gladiator” on the pitch? Numbers, at least in this case, [...]

Atlético Paranaense 2-2 Palmeiras – and then some

Posted in Players, Brazilian Championship, tagged , on September 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Another disappointing draw, this time aggravated by the fact that Palmeiras played the entirely second half with one man more on the pitch. The Verdão seemed to control the game most of the time and the goals came naturally, but lack of attention resulted in Atlético, penultimate in the tables, being able to come back [...]
