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 [...]

Never a dull moment

Being palmeirense is never having a dull moment. It’s a nonstop rollercoaster ride, wearing you down at times as if draining strength from your body and mind. Deal with it or look somewhere else for cheaper thrills. On Friday, the DOCUMENT was finally signed by president Tirone, settling the issue with WTorre that was haltering [...]

We’ve had a week like most others at Palmeiras, marked by unnecessary turbulence. Fuzz about the New Arena – with Walter Torre losing his patience with the unprepared Palmeiras representatives sent out to “set things straight” – made headlines as Walter Torre at one point threatened to halt work on the site unless Palmeiras president [...]

Media turbulence It’s been a turbulent week in the media. Again, the New Arena and coach Scolari were extensively targeted. In part the turbulence is fuel from within, with help from the outside. In the receiving end, a misinformed public which, unfortunately, includes palmeirenses. In regard to the Arena, biased and outright false “information” was [...]

We were heading for yet one more of those nights: Palmeiras unable to convert superiority – both technically and in number of players on the pitch – into goals.

Heaps could and should be written about Palmeiras’ historic battle against biased and/or racist politicians and journalists. The peak years naturally occurred during WWII, when Palmeiras was forced to change its name (for more info, click here) and even ran serious risk of losing its stadium. Needless to say, things have improved greatly since then. [...]
