Remo vs Vasco and Red Bull vs América-MG are the most interesting games, the first has a lot of tradition involved and the latter should be pretty unpredictable.
Crb looking good. They played a good game against Vasco in the first leg but were unlucky. It'd be nice to see crb knock them out, idk how long we are going to have to hear this is the best team in Brazil... It's already old and I'm someone who gives Vasco full credit
Flamengo on the ropes. PV could have done better, I don't want to blame him but idk I think it was stoppable
Awful game of São Paulo against Juventude. Not that Juventude was exceptional to get this victory but São Paulo was the one to be horrible. The changes of Buffarini and Mena for Carlinhos and Bruno and playing with three holding midfielders were bad taken decisions by Ricardo Gomes who let team very exposed (and actually seemed to not have studied even his own team). Neither players who were doing nice performances lately, like Cueva, could do well in this scheme. I really wish São Paulo can recover but it's hard like this going from bad to worse.
Ricardo Gomes's teams always looked way to vulnerable at the back with botafogo even when he played 3 volantes.
That midfield that SPFC fielded yesterday was dreadful. And the "God of Zaga" hasn't been really good ever since SPFC signed him to a permanent deal. This is quite possibly the worst SPFC side I've seen in the last 10 years. Definitely the least talented on paper.
Indeed. I can't even remember instantly a season São Paulo did that bad, of course there were in all the club history, but at least since the beginning of consecutive points system at Brasileirão the team's being so constant and fighting for title or Libertadores classification position (G-4) and despite Copa do Brasil being the only title not held by SPFC, a beginning like this is extremely below.
That pass by maycon was a dime, that's why I wanted to see your guys opinion of him in the flamengo match. Ponte is almost there , good first half.
