    Not like they did before. They have Rubio, who is OK. Mora was supposed to be their guy. And their playing style from what I have seen has changed from how they used to play under Sampaoli and Pelusso.

    Whose the new coach?? if he isn't a Bielsa understudy like his previous caretaker than this will definitely a far cry of last season's La U.

    Some guy named Cristián Romero. I know he was an ex-player, but that's about it. He took over at the start of the year for Figueroa.

    I like what Autuori is doing by putting Ronaldhino out on the left and putting guilerhme behind the front 3.

    Cruzeiro won 2 x 0 to keep their hopes alive.

    Now Atletico are up 1 x 0 and looking solid at Santa Fe ... which by the way picked up the extremely annoying Mexican habit of cussing the goalie every time he takes a goal kick.

    They are basically bypassing Ronaldinho in the build up so far.

    True. I think out left is the best place to play him rather than in the middle like A-mg does.

    Atletico 1 x 0 Santa Fe' - HT

    Very entertaining half. Santa Fe' controlled the game from 15m to 30m but Atletico evened things up from there on. Victor with at least 2 great saves to keep Atletico up and Atletico had a couple of good chances as well.

    Galo's luck runs out and Santa Fe' ties it.

    Poor coverage on the cross. 3 defenders vs 2 ... and the Santa Fe' guy who scored is pretty short.

    1 x 1

    Victor 3 more amazing saves. Santa Fe' should be up by now.

    @Guigs ... if Ronaldinho is still "dedicated" as you say, why does he barely move the whole game ? Dude is at a walking pace basically the whole game.

    Its been yearsin brazil already, he's on his fourth, he was going to eventually slow down. To compare him on his first flamengo year ? That's 3 years ago in 2011

    There also no women in Ronaldinho's video. Just a bunch of dudes. That's just un-brazilian ... at least for this type of music. :ROFLMAO:

    Worst thing is that I put that Jorge Henrique video on my friend's facebook (botafoguense doente) and Jorge Henrique fan, to make fun of him.. and my wife saw it.. I had to endure that song for a good 4 months.. because she liked it.

    Not making the same mistake with that Ronaldinho video.. that's dying right here!

    Clutch Victor last night; Galo is through.

    And Cruzeiro like Flamengo is still in this. Next Wednesday, I will look forward to whatever decent stream I can get because I want to see Cruzeiro do its utmost to golear Real Garcilaso - not only to get the 3 points but to avenge the racist chants Tinga suffered in Peru.

    Pretty much every simulation I've tried ends with Atletico vs Cruzeiro or Flamengo in the round of 16. Should be interesting.

    Galo would be the last team I'd want to face in the 1st round. Because they have the talent to be dominant if multiple guys are on at the same time. Also, Victor if it came down to penaltis. And I'd also want to avoid Gremio in the tourney, because I don't like the matchup for Fla.
