We are now in the Copa Libertadores!!!! We are also leading on the favorite team pool of this Board and yet I do not see a thread started for our team. I just wanted to see everyone's opinion on our chances at the south american most prestigious tournament that we won twice and make the finals three consecutive years. I know we need major roster changes before we can become a contender, but where do we start giving the boot? P.S.: While I lived in Brazil, I had the opportunity to attend the Copa Libertadores final of 1992 [There was 105,000 in the stadium]. This was the most memorable game in my life.

it was great and fantastic but then *#*#*#*# the bed when kaka was sold to milan. now i am not so sure anymore.

JL-SPFC · Dec 2, 2003

I missed those years when we used to win everything and beat everyone. Now part of being a sao-paulino is learning to have hopes and not matter how limited your team is, you think you are going to take it all. LOL I got hopes but I am realistic, I think we should at least qualify for the next round. The drawing for teams and groups for the Copa Libertadores will be December 17, 2003. Lets see who our tricolor will face on the first round. We will need all the luck we can get

10 years ago exactly I couldn't stand São Paulo. They were the pain in the neck of Flamengo that year. First they eliminated us from Copa Libertadores and later won the Supercopa in that awesome final against Flamengo. That was the last real Flamengo team IMO and I thought we didn't deserve to lose that championship to a team which only play consisted in a Leonardo running through the sideline to the back line and low crossing it to a Müller in the box to score. What pissed me off the most were all the Vasco and Fluminense fans jumping in the São Paulo bandwagon. Maybe it was the same time that our buddy Alex_1 jumped in it too.

But that hatred passed a few time after and I started to hate Grêmio during the 95/96 time.

Funny you mentioned. I was going through my old tapes a few months ago and found some highlights of those games (1993 Libertadores and Supercopa) Great Great games!!! It was so great to see Marcelinho Carioca miss a penalty in the shoot-outs [Hate that player]. Nelio scored a beautiful goal on Zetti and Palhinha gave his magic touch to put the ball over Flamengo's keeper Gilmar [ex SPFC]

Congratulations to MIGkiller and other Flamenguistas. You defeated the "great" tricolor. Hehe

dbdb · Dec 15, 2003

The team wasn't taking the game seriously. Falmengo is already used in playing these games that are worth anything...hehehehe. We spent our energies before to get qualified to Libertadores...

Once upon a time there was a SPFC thread but it has since been a few months.

https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=85127

But inevitably there probably will be result discussions so I had to change the thread title.

Senna · Feb 24, 2004

Well, thursday is THE DAY!!!

After 10 years, the Morumbi Stadium will be the stage for a Libertadores match with São Paulo FC.

Guys,

Why not merging them all into one single thread?

dbdb · Feb 29, 2004

Unfortunately I couldn't be there. But our next compromise in Morumbi I'll probably be there...

Senna · Feb 29, 2004

Show de bola!!!!

The Morumbi Stadium was crowded and I would like to say that I´m very proud to be sao-paulino (since I was 6) and that was very nice to be there last thursday...

São Paulo in Libertadores...

My god...
Only 4 matches...

Today, SP advanced into the semifinals after beat Dep.Tachira 4-1 in Venezuela.

We're now one of the 4 best clubs in Americas...

Now, or Santos or Once Caldas.
It would be nice to play against Santos, but let´s see what´s gonna happen!

Força Tricolor!

heheh yeah, but it would be a tough game in the semifinals.
I hope Sao Paulo can go through this step.

I hope that São Paulo "B" can make a good match in LA too.

I can proudly say that I was in Morumbi in the game against Newell's Old Boy (ARG) in 1992 when we won our first Copa Libertadores. 110,000 fans and the great feeling of being sao-paulino. Still got the tix framed :-D. Maybe on June 30th, I'll be that happy again.

How about when we beat Barcelona and Milan then? No better feeling.

Falcão assina contrato com o São Paulo

O ala-esquerda Falcão, escolhido o melhor jogador do mundo no Campeonato Mundial de Futebol de Salão de 2004 e eleito melhor jogador de futsal do mundo pela FIFA, assinou contrato com o São Paulo Futebol Clube para jogar no campo em 2005.

Segundo o presidente Marcelo Portugal Gouvêa, em entrevista concedida à Rádio Globo, o jogador, que estava atuando pelo Malwee/Jaraguá do Sul no futsal, onde recebia cerca de R$ 60 mil por mês, assinou contrato até 30 de junho de 2005.

Os contatos começaram depois do mundial de futebol de salão e a proposta foi feita após o fim do Brasileirão. Nesta segunda-feira, o jogador e o São Paulo acertaram um acordo.

Just HOW good is this SPFC?

Don't anybody get me wrong. I'm very happy to see my Tricolor undefeated in 2005 and virtually having guaranteed the SP State title. They also are doing well in the Libertadores and won 1 point in Argentina vs. Quilmes.

However, they were very good in 2002 and lost in the 1st round of the Brasileirao playoffs to eventual champion Santos. They had a good team in 2004 and fell to Once Caldas in the Libertadores. And they did NOT win the 2004 Brasileirao, though they did well enough to return to the Libertadores.

So what can we expect? Has this team matured that it can seriously contend (again) for the Libertadores? How deep is the bench - didn't the team's brass say it wanted to sign 2 more players for the Libertadores? And how much has Emerson Leao improved as a coach? I admit I didn't like it when he arrived after his time as Santos and Cruzeiro coach, but I must admit now he's done a good job with the team.

Does this team have the talent, experience, clutch, and coaching not only to go far in the Libertadores - but to hang in w/ the other contenders such as Santos, Boca Juniors, Once Caldas, River Plate, etc.?

Win the Libertadores. The true test.
