Pernambucano 2007 A1 (R)

[Lono]

Anyone following it? Sport seems to have 1 turno in the bag barring self destruction, but Central is nipping at their heels.. Belo Jardim is a joke and a disgrace and Olivera should be ashamed of himself for letting them in without a stadium

[Mengão86]

I haven't been watching the games, but I have been following the results and the standings. Santa Cruz lost their shot at the chasing Sport when they lost to Central. Nautico probably can't catch up either considering their campaign has been very inconsistent.

[Lono]

That Central-Santa Cruz game was a war from what I heard. Whoever lost, or a tie and it's over. Nautico had to comeback to beat Belo Jardim. They got a penalty kick, the goalie stopped it but they got a second shot when the defender came in to early. Horrible game for Nautico.

[Mengão86]

I think Nautico is one of the candidates to be relegated this season (in the Brasileirao). Sport will probably be close to the relegation zone, but survive.

[Lono]

All seems to be forgiven between Sport fans and Carlinhos Bala, he scored 2 last night, and Fumagali got a cap as the beat Vera Cruz 5-1 and they continue to lead the 1 turno.

[Mengão86]

Sport is going to run away with the 1st part of this tournament. They are still undefeated and it seems like all their new signings have clicked right into place.

All it takes is one bad performance by Carlinhos for the Sport fans to remember what he did to the fans in last year's championship. We'll see how he plays in the Brasileirao.

[Lono]

Sport has 18 points, Central 15, and Nautico 12

There are 3 rounds left
For Sport 2 of them classicos:
Nautico (classico, away Sport wins and Nautico can pack it up)
Belo Jardim (lanterna, home)
Santa (classico, home)

none of their opponents have anything to play for other than pride

Central has a classico of their own:

Porto (classico de forro in Caruaru, away, but Caruaru is small enough that both teams will have supporters)
Nautico (away, whoever loses this game, or a tie with a Sport win and it's over)
Ypiranga (away)

Nautico, on life support, but mathematically alive:

Sport (see above, Nautico loses and they are out of it)
Central (see above)
Vera Cruz (away, if Nautico wins their two games, and the other challengers falter, this game should be easy for them)

Sport has a chance to show that they are the best team in Pernambuco today. They played Santa Cruz already and tied them, right?

they havent played yet, its the last game, sport is 100% so far, if they win, at the very worst they will tie for first.. they play belo jardim, the lanterna on the 8th, and the 11th is the santa game.. santa lost nasty to vera cruz yetserday, 3-0.. central had the best chance to catch them, but they lost to porto yesterday..

[Lono]

Kazza, Kazza, Kazza, Kazza, Kazza ESPORTE
They won yesterday over Nautico 1-0, so they need 1 point in two games to win the title outright. Recife's finest made a bonehead decision yesterday when they decided to have the Sport enter through a walkway that made them pass right in front of the Nautico torcida to get to their section. Fights broke out, what did you expect, for them to hold hands and sing Kumbaya?

[Mengão86]

Haha, I also heard Carlinhos Bala and Indio got into a war of words. They both called each other a few choice words and then later denied that they started the argument. I don't know to much about Indio's character, but CB is known to be a you-know-what.

[Lono]

Sport wrapped up the 1 turno with a 3-0 win over Belo Jardim. Santa Cruz continues to struggle, losing 3-2 de virada to Cabense. Porto seems to have turned it on towards the end of the turno, they beat Ypiranga 3-1, and Serrano-Vera Cruz tied 0-0. Nautico and Central play tonight.
