The Copa do Nordeste is returning in 2013, with 16 clubs from the Northeastern region (Pernambuco, Bahia, Ceará, etc...). The format will be 4 groups of 4 teams each + playoffs.

The clubs will qualify to the tournament via the state league performance.

The winner of Copa do Nordeste will qualify for Copa do Brasil or Copa Sudamericana.

Apparently Jadson was offered to Palmeiras but Felipão vetoed him because Jadson was not on his shortlist (unlike Wagner). Frizzo is supposedly angry at Felipão because of that.

[Catracho]

Kléber from Palmeiras to Grêmio is apparently a done deal, medical is tomorrow.

[Catracho]

Grêmio are apparently trying to bring Antolín Alcaraz from Wigan, Jonathan Bottinelli, the San Lorenzo defender who is brother of Flamengo's Bottinelli and they want to keep Escudero.

Small Santa Fe Fútbol Club from Argentina are now run by Brazilian club Corinthians and thus have been renamed Sport Club Corinthians Santa Fe.

The club is amateur, for now, but Corinthians want to place them in the Argentine League pyramid soon.

[Catracho]

It seems this is going to be Brazil's XI against Gabon this Thursday:

Neto, Fábio, Luisão, David Luiz, Adriano; Lucas Leiva, Fernandinho, Hernanes; Willian, Hulk, Kléber

Worst Brazilian Line-up I've probably ever seen.

Hey guys I have 3 players I Would like to know more on if u could help me out

Bruno Cortes ( I've seen him once but like to know how highly u guys rate him)

Romelu

Erekson

[Catracho]

Bruno Cortes is the best LB available to play for Brazil. We'll see if his good form will continue into February.

Romelu is a good Volante, a reason why Vasco is where it is right now, along with Eder Luiz.

and idk who Erekson is.

[guest7]

Brazil will apparently play against Sweden at the Råsunda Stadium (which will be demolished afterwards) on August 15th, 2012.

HELL YEA let's hope Marcelo plays so I can see him live again :dance:

also neymar if he is a madrid player by then

there has been worse with dunga.

pretty decent C team if you ask me

[rsinatra]

corinthians love to lose to the lanterninhas dont they? last year it was atletico-go, this year it's america-mg.. i'm betting either vasco or fluminense will end up taking the trophy..

[Funkentelechy]

Cortês has good speed, stamina, above average crossing, good dribbling, but isnt a solid defender.

Rômulo is that kind of smart and hardworking DM, haven't watched him much either.

Elkesson is an AM with a direct style, likes shooting and beating his man.

Btw, best LB available?

[Catracho]

Neymar renewed his contract with Santos, his salary has been increased by 50% (625k € per month) and he announced he is staying at Santos at least until 2014.

but yall already know this.

annddd I can't stand watching another Carioca team winning Serie A..

[Ganso]

3 corinthians fans went hunting the refs from the america game this week and got arrested

he's marginally better than Adriano, Andre Santos and ???

He defends better then those 2 and seems to be more effective on attack those 2.

[Ganso]

Adriano and Andre Santos are a big joke tbh.cant wait to start calling cortes up and dropping adriano.

Adriano is a better defender.

Filipe Luís is above all others defense wise.

[Catracho]

Filipe Luis isn't a good attacker though, which is the most important attribute within any Brazilian system.

Adriano is pretty atrocious... he has the Dani Alves syndrome.. great for Barce, horrible for Brazil... speaking of Dani Alves... he should also be dropped forever from the NT.

call-up Rafinha imo.

[Ganso]

start Rafael,the Man U one.Or Fabio.im tired of Alves' shit performances,should get the same treatment as Santos,main difference is that he plays for Barca...

[Catracho]

well Fabio is starting against Gabao Thursday.. we'll see how good he really is.

Rafinha of Bayern >>>>

[Ganso]

Fabio is good, solid defensively and offensively,its better having a balance since we already have the best attacking FB in the world in the left flank.If Alves performed defensively how he performs for Barca it would work,too bad hes considered the best in the world and will never get benched(copa America was an exception since Maicon was beasting)

[Catracho]

Daniel Alves was so bad at Copa America... OMG..

He was gonna get benched regardless if Maicon was there or not. lol.
