On the Sao Paulo Second Division (Segunda) where the senior Desportivo Brasil team plays, it needs to emphasized that this is more of a strengthened U-23 league than anything because some big clubs...

First off, this is now academic. Desportivo Brasil killed the partnership.

It is true that Serie D is regionalized but only in the first phase. After that, it is a two-leg knock out tournament with the semi-finalists promoting to Series C.


It also needs to be...

Some claim that this is more than a rumour but it can't be confirmed at the moment. Marc dos Santos is expected by some to be named the Coach of Tupi FC as part of a partnership agreement between...

Incidentally, it appears Dos Santos has been in Brazil since late 2011. He appears to have coached Primeira Camisa in the January 2012 edition of the Copa Sao Paulo making it to the final 16 losing...

I differ on one point. It will be more like two or three years and we would have to wonder why the CSA can't find a place for him to coach in Canada if it was longer than that. By being put in...

Just read through this thread quickly now but Grizzly's dismissal of Marc Dos Santos might be a little too quick. My feeling is that we need a Head Coach who can work with talented young players for...

Seedorf's married to a Brazilian and has been linked to Botafogo for some time. Rumours out of Brazil are surfacing about Del Piero as well with four teams in the hunt.

First of all, the Canadian team did better than expected so I'm fine with their performance, especially when you realize that it was youth and inexperience that caused them to miss what could have...

I am posting this in the international section because I somehow can't believe this is correct. Nevertheless there are some circumstances that leaves with more questions than answers.

First of all, I think many fans underestimate the amount of turnover that takes place at big clubs in Europe. Many big clubs, including Ajax, turnover 40-50% of their first team roster even in good...

I'm not really arguing for forced equality; but, I do think European football may end up somewhere it did not intend.

Two or three teams winning every time is not good television. Barcelona...

While most fans of European club soccer recognize the competitive advantage the big clubs have, I'm not sure if many truly understand the magnitude of the disadvantage most clubs who play in Europe's...

I have posted on this in previous years but I will say it again. The Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior has got to be one of the most intriguing youth tournaments anywhere. Its size, the quality of...

As a notorious fan of the underdog, I always relish watching a small club have success against the big ones. Since visiting Brazil the first time,I was encouraged by various friends and...

The size of the Chinese offer reported in the Brazilian media is 20 million pounds for two years. The linked report also indicates that Anelka has rejected offers from Tottenham, Milan, and three...

Tim Vickery's interview on Socrates might be the best description of what he meant Brazilian soccer and Brazilian society.
...

This morning former Brazilian soccer superstar, Socrates, passed away. His health had been failing for some time and he was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital (one of the best hospitals in...

Coaches have a much greater impact on how a team looks than many seem to want to accept. A Coach designs the system for the players on the field. As any coaching manual will tell you, the system...

I think it is incumbent upon the CSA to provide to players playing for Canada the best conditions possible to be successful. There has to be a sense of possibility. Without that why would any...

I'm not sure if instinctive and technical measure the same thing. While Stinson may not be among the best technical players in the MLS (players like Frings come to mind), I would not put him...

First my take on DiChiara is also along the lines that given the large lead in the first game in October, he should have been given some playing time. The fact that the MNT did not manage its roster...

While admittedly I was speculating on how the young players on this team would develop, I don't think it is without perspective.

First of all, from my perspective of Dutch development coaches,...
