O Imortal levou uma surra do Boca Juniors. Tuta, Lúcio, Patrício, Diego Souza, Amoroso e Tcheco sucumbiram diante de Riquelme, Palácio e Palermo. Sorte da bola e de quem gosta de futebol. 

No final, o placar de 5 a 0 ficou barato, já que Palermo - para não perder o costume - ainda perdeu um pênalti aos 39 do segundo tempo.

Mais uma vez, a decisão ficou na mão de Riquelme, um gênio da bola que infelizmente está deixando a América do Sul. E olha que tem gente que diz que ele não joga nada.

Os gaúchos deveriam comemorar efusivamente o vice-campeonato na Libertadores. Passaram pelo Santos e pelo São Paulo, ancorados por essa baboseira de imortal para cá, imortal para lá, time de raça, e de missões impossíveis. Foram longe demais.

Ganhar do Náutico na Série B e do Caxias na final do Gaúchão é uma coisa. Virar uma final de campeonato com times de primeira divisão é outra completamente diferente. Quero ver agora alguém vir com esse papo de imortalidade novamente.

No Brasileirão da Série A, essa conversa não cola.

Acabaram-se os problemas no Morumbi. Chegou o herói que o time de Muricy Ramalho precisava. Agora vai!

Quando a gente fala que europeu não entende nada de futebol, os caras ficam putos de vida.

Mas veja só a capa do diário catalão "El Mundo Deportivo" de hoje sobre a maneira como o Barcelona deveria encarar o jogo contra o Betis. Alguém pode dizer que isso se justifica pelo voluntarismo e pela raça do zagueiro espanhol. Desculpe, mas só isso não ganha jogo.

Um time que tem Ronaldinho, Eto e Messi não pode sonhar com 11 "puyoles" para conquistar um Campeonato Espanhol. O pior (pra eles, barcelonistas) é que o time azul-grená empatou com o Betis neste domingo por 1 a 1 e perdeu a liderança para o rival Real Madrid.

Pelo jeito, havia "puyoles" demais em campo...

When Ronaldo started playing, he didn’t hide his great idol in world football was Zico. Time goes by and now I read an interview to spanish paper As and got really surprised to notice that three best players he has ever seen are Zidane, Van Basten and Maradona. 

I would understand Ronaldo’s new point of view if I had not heard him repeating his admiration for Zico. He didn't mention Romário too, a great partner years ago in brazilian national team. 

Zico is among the best brazilian players of all time. His greatness is undeniable and he will always be remembered by his sharpness and wonderful speed. He is the player who made the little Ronaldo dreamed about being a star. But it looks like he was abandoned by his former fan. 

Romario is going to score his goal number 1000 and I haven’t heard a word from Ronaldo. Milan’s forward is quiet and has not sent a message to congratulate him. Even Pelé did it. In this case, there is an explanation.

After France 1998, Romario expected Ronaldo’s support before he was cut out of the national squad by Zagallo. It didn’t happen at all.

Since Ronaldo was elected best player of the world for the third time, something has change in his personality. He is not smiling anymore and became a bitter man. If you boo him because, he complains about it. He is sacked by an important match and reacts blaming the coach. Brazil’s presidente jokes about his weigh and Ronaldo calls him a drunker. 

In fact, the Fat One acts like a little child. The youngest brother who is always trying to get attention from his parents. He never addmits his weakness, but reacts excessively angry with anyone who try to give him a piece of advise. 

Ronaldo doesn’t need to act like that. He’s a world champion and now holds a personal record as the greatest World Cup scorer of all times. He is only 30, has money, a lot of money, and is widely recognized by people around the world.

So, what’s the matter with him?

Romario scored a hat trick last Saturday against Boa Vista, his third of this year. Now he just need another two goals to reach his number 1000 and crowned his amazing career.

There a lot of people blaming against him because of his own records. At first, I didn’t believe this mark should be taken serious as well, since he included goals scored in friendlies and youth team matches.
 

But now I'm supporting Romario's unnofficial mark. His numbers at a professional leve are incredible: 900 goals. Plus 77 goals as youth and 21 in frindlies and you have 998.

Instead it is a wonderful achievement for someone, especially a guy who won everything a professional player could dreamed about.The 41-year-old Romario deserves to celebrate it the Maracana stadium.

If you are really interested in brazilian players, I can give you a precious tip. I'm not talking about Internacional's forward Alexandre Pato, the last overrated player around here in Brazil.

The next brazilian pearl is called William. Corinthians 18-year-old midfielder has tremendous skills and made his international debut two months ago, when he conquered South American Under-20 wearing brazilian legendary number 10 jersey.

Take a look at this guy. And forget Alexandre Pato.
