hei guys,
do you know which websites in English have the most updated daily news about the Brazilian championship (particularly from the Brazilian view of point) ???

Some early observations on Brasileiro '03

- the competition is going to go down to the wire as always. Only in the Brasileiro can anyone beat anyone without it raising eyebrows. Most unpredictable league in the world.

- Marcelinho Carioca is still the best free kick taker in the world....bar none. He disappeared for awhile, but his venom is back. No one today shoots a ball with so much 'movement'. Unbelievable.

- The re-awakening of Alex, the best news so far. On one of these threads we talked about future stars of the Selecao, and I lamented Alex's fall from grace. His play to date has been genial. I hope he can keep it up.

- Luxemburgo keeps proving he is the best coach in Brazil. If he only could learn humility........

- Sao Caetano is still the best cinderalla story in football.

Megasoccer.com has some good week by week coverage of futebol brasileiro, but there aren't too many english sites that cover it in depth. Follow the links in Megasoccer.com and then save the brazil page as your favorite.

The mineiro teams never cease to amaze me with their rebuilding and ability to attract quality players. Top two in the table again.
Also, the games this year have been great so far, even the smaller tems: Figuerense, Criciuma, Paysandu, etc. are playing the bigger clubs very tough. It is good to see Inter playing well again. I cannot wait until June 14/15! Check out the schedule that weekend!

And to think Inter almost went to the second division last year. :D

Congratulations, but the tournament is just beginning. There are still 40 more games to play. :D

[brazil2002]

Again,we were first before we lost to Flu,anyway this is just the begining but we are definitely looking good and we'd like to hang on to our youngbloods.

Nilmar diz que vai renovar com o Inter
Nilmar, 18 anos, autor de dois gols do Inter nos 3 a 0 sobre o Vitória, sábado no Barradão, afirmou que, até terça-feira, assinará a renovação de seu contrato. O atual, que iria até 2005, será substituído por um com final em 2008.

Precisamos nos agilizar. No final do Brasileiro, esse garoto estará tão badalado quanto o Robinho e o Diego, do Santos – disse o presidente do Inter, Fernando Carvalho.

O dirigente afirmou que os gêmeos Diego e Diogo também terão a renovação antecipada. Os dois terminam seus contratos em2006. Diogo já foi sondado pelo Barcelona.

Apesar de André continuar lesionado, e da atuação apenas regular de Jéferson Feijão, o técnico Muricy Ramalho não pretende escalar Diego e Nilmar juntos no ataque. Diz que ambos precisam ganhar massa muscular. Domingo próximo contra o Goiás, no Beira-Rio, o Inter defenderá a liderança do Brasileiro.

[brazil2002]

You got to respect the rules,see you soon.

[PsyKoh]

It wasn't robbery, Ponte Preta used people that were not elegible and they got caught. They lost the points against Inter and, today, they will lose the points for the game against Juventude.

It sucks, but those are the rules... :(
