Palmeiras won the Paulista U-17 Championship, they beat Santos in the final.

And Traffic's Desportivo Brasil won the Paulista U-15 they beat São Paulo in the final.

[rsinatra]

SPORTÊÊÊÊ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIE A!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S MY FAVORITE TEAM AFTER SANTOS... I USED TO GO WATCH THEM AT THE ILHA DO RETIRO STADIUM ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS A KID!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE BACK!!!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL PARTY!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE'S INVADED THE PITCH!!!!!!!!1 A TERRIBLE PITCH BTW, COMPLETELY SOAKED BECAUSE OF A STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM AND THE FANS!!!!!!! NOW PERNAMBUCO WILL HAVE TWO TEAMS IN THE SERIE A NEXT YEAR!! NAUTICO AND SPORT!!!

Sport, much more traditional than america-mg, atletico-go, avai, etc.. 1987 league champions and 2008 copa do brasil champions!!!!!

ps sorry about the caps, but damn it, it was a dramatic match

[Catracho]

Sport more traditional than Atletico Mineiro.. eh

[Funkentelechy]

América-MG and Atlético-GO are very traditional teams tbh

I don't get much the point people make about those teams. Trashing Barueri, Boa, Americana, totally artificial teams makes a lot of sense.

But Figueirense, Avaí, Ceará, América-MG, on the other hand, got where they are because of their merits alone. Even tho they earn much less than Portuguesa, Ponte Preta, Sport, Nautico considered "big teams", they could do much better. They should be praised and set as role models IMO.

to Sport anyway

FT U15 Brazil 2-0 Paraguay

Goals from Mosquito and Léo.

Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Uruguay are going to play the South American U15 Championship final stage.

[Ganso]

gol de placa,like a boss

[Ganso]

flamengo will probably lose at sao januario vs vasco and we will win vs gremio at the beira rio so it will probably look like

1-Corinthians/Vasco
2-Corinthians/Vasco
3-Flu
4-Coritiba
5-Inter

[Catracho]

I think both games end in a draw imo. Corinthians to raise the trophy

[Ganso]

if palmeiras play like they did today,they will give you guys hell.Sao Paulo were lucky to lose only 1-0

[Catracho]

Corinthians on the verge of being crowned champions.. lol I might have a heart-attack.

[Catracho]

Some controversies today:

- Thiago Carleto confirmed América received a financial incentive from Cruzeiro to beat Atlético PR

- Bahia's official site is saying "may Ceará remain in Série A", despite the fact Bahia play against them next weekend.

- Apparently Diego Souza shouldn't have played vs Botafogo (not today's game) due to being suspended, which means Vasco could lose points and thus Corinthians would be champions.

soooo if the following is correct, Cruzeiro can be relegated, Corinthians can be champs and Ceara will stay in Serie A even before a ball is kicked on Sunday..

Heh.

[Catracho]

I wonder how Galo fans are feeling at the chance to relegate their bitter rivals Cruzeiro... This would probably be the sweetest moment of their lives in recent history, probably even more so than when they beat Cruzeiro 5-0 and Danilinho lobbed one over Fabio.

Oh boy.

[Catracho]

FT U15 Brazil 4-2 Argentina

Robert, Mosquito (twice) and Caio Rangel scored for Brazil, while Cañete and Driussi scored for Argentina.

[Catracho]

Atlético-MG's Mancini was convicted to 2 years and 8 months in prison by Italian courts.

BUT its a pretty useless conviction, as Mancini has no chance of ever serving in prison there as Braziilian laws don't allow Brazil to extradite natural Brazilian citizens (as in, not naturalized ones) to foreign countries.

Brazil's U-15 4x2 win over Argentina

[Ganso]

This mosquito guy is amazing

[Catracho]

He indeed is. Goal Scoring leader of the Tournament.

Vasco have a good one on their hands.

[Catracho]

rumors in Brazil is that Tevez and Corinthians have reached an agreement...

Hopefully this is true. Return of the King.

[Yeezus]

They better pay his wages, tho.

any chance of 'Dinho leaving, given he hasn't been paid in months?

U de Chile make work outta Vasco...Eduardo Vargas making me proud.

[Ganso]

Liedson,adriano,tevez and Alex that's nasty as hell.I feel bad for Williams though

[Ganso]

@ iniesta,tbh vasco are tired as hell and they weren't giving the sulamericana a lot of attention since they are already classified for the libertadores,but i gotta give credit where its due, ive seen both of the games and the universidad team is fantastic.Vargas cant believe hes so young,rich mans sanches
