Palmeiras [R]

[BrianCappellieri]

SoccerNet (http://www.soccernet.com/global/news/2002/0906/20020906palmeirasmarcos.html)Brazilian World Cup goalkeeper Marcos, who has been brought crashing down to earth after his performances in Japan and South Korea, hit out at directors of his club Palmeiras on Friday.

Palmeiras had five coaches in one month. One coach for four games and one coach/game for the rest. The new coah is Levir Culpi. Will see....

[Sao Taffarel]

Has Senhor Culpi got a chance of the Selecao job?

[omajac]

Remember when he was coach of Sao Paulo he was in view after Luxemburgo was fired!! But they went with Leao. But I don't think so, my money's on Antonio Lopes!!

[Sao Taffarel]

I think Luxemburgo might just get it. It could be said that he has unfinished business.

[omajac]

I really don't wont Luxemburgo to be the next coach. But with the WC qualifiers coming up next year, let him be coach and screw up again so we can get rid of him again...hopefully for GOOD!!!

[omajac]

Things have gotten so bad at Palmeiras that Marcos has asked to be dropped by the team!! Palmeiras has sank to the bottom of the league!!

[Metros Striker10]

Why is it that everytime you buy a Palmerias item that has its logo, the green on the logo is a glitter like string? Is the logo on the player's jerseys like this as well?

Ugly Palmeiras defeat 7-2 in home... god... i'm glad there was not a full scale riot in Parque Antarctica this night.... Palmeiras is really below average, and I've changed my point of view.... To me, if Palmeiras dont go to the third division this year, they should be glad.....

[SoccerScout]

I was amazed at that score...geezz and my Inter has to play Vitoria this week away!!

I was watching the Flamengo game and it seemed like every 5 minutes they were breaking in with another goal. Ugly.

Don't worry, Vitoria is not that good. It's just that Palmeiras is THAT bad nowadays.

Well, Palmeiras hadn't played a game for two months so it is possible that they are sorely missing the ritmo de jogo. Vitoria, however, isn't horrible this year. Coming from a fan of O Bahia that should sound impressive.

The most shocking aspect of the game is that Marcos looked disgusting in goal. The 7th Vitoria goal was scored after he completely missed the ball trying to clear it. It simply rolled under his feet and the Victoria atacker poked it in. Several other goals went past his legs and under him in positions where it seems he should have made the save. It's almost like he forgot how to extend his body along the ground and take away the angle of the shot. Maybe he just needs to stretch more before the next game, or not get called to a selecao anytime soon.

El Palmeiras, uno de los más laureados y tradicionales clubes del fútbol brasileño y ahora en medio de la más grave crisis de su historia, anunció la liberación del colombiano Carlos Castro y de otros cuatro jugadores.

Castro, delantero de 32 años que llegó al Palmeiras procedente del Necaxa mexicano a principios de este año cedido hasta diciembre, casi no jugó con el equipo titular.

Estuvo dos meses parado a la espera de su visado de trabajo en Brasil y ahora, apenas dos partidos después de su debut, ha sido dejado cesante por el técnico Jair Picerni, que pretende renovar la plantilla para encarar el torneo de segunda división.

Castro, según fuentes del club paulista, deberá decidir ahora su futuro con los directivos del Millonarios colombiano, club al que pertenece su ficha.

Junto con la de Castro hoy se anunció la salida de los defensas centrales Indio y Gustavo y de los laterales Nenem y Everaldo.

El Palmeiras, que este año jugará por vez primera en la segunda división, está hundido en la peor crisis de su historia y ha perdido en todas sus últimas salidas al campo.

La última derrota fue la peor sufrida por el equipo de camisa verde en casi un siglo: fue goleado 2-7 por el frágil Vitoria, en un partido correspondiente a la Copa de Brasil.

Palmeiras se despede da Série B com goleada; Vágner termina como artilheiro


Palmeiras e Botafogo se despediram neste sábado da Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro numa partida marcada por muita festa para comemorar o acesso das duas equipes à elite do futebol nacional. Para a torcida palmeirense, que lotou o Parque Antarctica, a comemoração foi completa: o time goleou por 4 a 1 e Vágner terminou na artilharia da competição, com 19 gols.

Mais entusiasmados, alguns palmeirenses, que além do acesso já haviam garantido antecipadamente o título da segunda divisão, entraram em campo de cabelo pintado. O artilheiro Vágner, por exemplo, pintou as laterais de branco e deixou uma faixa verde em cima.
