I might have to watch it. I like how the serie c utilizes Monday night. And I feel like esporte interativo is going to or already has positively helped Brazilian football. Their presentation is dramatic especially in the nordeste. They also use different camera angles and graphics hyping up players which I've seen pfc/Globo try to incorporate this year. I'm curious to see what EI does when it gets their chance to broadcast brasileirao games in a few years, I know pontes signed up and some other interesting teams

They are one of the few "smaller" Paulista sides I wish were still in the top two divisions. Hopefully they can get their act together. Juventude is an interesting team with their campaigns in the Serie C and Copa do Brasil, but I would have preferred seeing Fortaleza back in Serie B. Boa Esporte is sort of like the Minas version of Duque de Caixas and Barueri. I wish they'd go away to be honest. I guess you can call it bias against the newly formed teams. I always like seeing traditional clubs get resurrected.
Lol boa esporte really is , and they are just organized enough to always hang around. I get what you are saying about the "newer" clubs very few even have a blueprint or a plan to get fans. Macae and red bull Brazil are one of the few examples of new teams being good for the lgs.
