Robinho happy to stay at Santos

roythebrown27 — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 13:59:29 +0000

Manchester City striker Robinho has reiterated his desire to extend his loan stay at Santos and hopes talks have already been initiated with the Premier League club.

Robinho returned to Santos in January, penning a six-month loan deal which is set to expire on 4 August.

The 26-year-old, who spent the first three seasons of his career at Santos, has been in impressive form since his return and, having notched up five goals in eight matches, puts his re-found goalscoring prowess down to his happiness.

“It was the right choice,” said Robinho. “I’m good physically and mentally. I hope to continue like this until the end of my spell at Santos. Where I have to be happiest is within the four lines of the pitch, and this is happening.

“I intend to continue for long. I hope that the board is already addressing this issue. You just have to look at my face to see my desire to stay at the club.”

The Brazil international also leapt to the defence of compatriot Kaka who has come under fire following Real Madrid’s disappointing UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Lyon.

Robinho spent three years of his career at the Bernabeu before leaving for City in 2008 after an unhappy final season in the Primera Division. Kaka has been made out by many to be Madrid’s scapegoat for their European humiliation but Robinho feels the fans and press are all too quick to point the finger of blame.

Robinho added: “Kaka is a spectacular player, one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, at Real Madrid, when things do not go well, the foreign players are the most criticised. It happened to me and to all the foreigners who are there.

“But Kaka has to keep his head in the right place. I’m sure he’ll come out on top and make a lot of success at Real. And I hope he can explode with me in the World Cup in South Africa, if we are there.”

Brazil National Football team now got a chance by qualifying to the FIFA World cup 2010. Keeping their terrific history in mind they are supposed to perform their best in this tournament.

roythebrown27 — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:14:20 +0000

The competition was marred by overly defensive and often violent tactics. This poisonous atmosphere culminated in the infamous first-round match between host Chile and Italy (2–0), known as the Battle of Santiago. In the first round, Brazil topped their group with Czechoslovakia finishing second, above Mexico and Spain. USSR and Yugoslavia finished above Uruguay and Colombia. Hungary, along with England progressed through to the quarter-finals, while Argentina and Bulgaria were eliminated.

Brazil Nicknames

roythebrown27 — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:53:35 +0000

The Brazilian national team has many nicknames and are known in different parts of the world by different nicknames. The most common name used to refer to them, especially in Brazil, is A Seleção, which literally means the selection. Brazilians call any team from any country or sport a seleção and because of this it has become common for the national team to be referred to as the Seleção Brasileira or to more specifically refer to it, the Seleção Brasileira de Futebol. Although Brazilian media have popularized Seleção, other nicknames for them in Brazil include Canarinho, meaning Little Canary, a phrase that was popularized by the late cartoonist Fernando Pieruccetti during the 1950 World Cup. Other names like Amarelinha, Little Yellow, Verde-amarelo, Green-Yellow, Pentacampeão, Five-time Champions and Esquadrão de Ouro (the Golden Squad), among others. It can also be noted that American and British media outlets have referred to Brazil as the Auriverde, coming from the Portuguese words verde and amarela (or dourada) which mean green and yellow (or gold), but is not used in Brazil itself. Some English newspapers colloquially use the nickname “Samba Kings”.

Brazilian Football Songs

Many songs are used to express and love of Brazilians for Football (soccer) and commemorate the country victories into the FIFA World Cup. Though foreign fans and broadcasters usually play Aquarela do Brasil in Brazilian matches, these are rarely associated to the game in Brazil.

Perhaps the most popular melody associated to football in Brazil is Na Cadência do Samba, widely known as Que bonito é (“How beautiful it is”), which served as the theme tune for Canal 100, a newsreel (cinejornal) running in local theaters from 1962 up to early 1980s. It is a soft samba composed and written by Luis Bandeira, famous for his frevo compositions for Carnival in Pernambuco. Although it had lyrics, the song was used by the newsreel producer Carlos Niemeyer in a purely instrumental version, orchestrated with trumpets and piano.

Through songs, TV, newspapers etc Brazil fans support their national team. Brazil not only got the fans inside the country but also across the world. Now Brazil fans can get brazil world cup tickets and World Cup tickets as well.

Argentina and Brazil football rivalry

roythebrown27 — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:12:38 +0000

The Argentina and Brazil football rivalry is a highly competitive sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two countries, as well as their respective sets of fans. Games between the two teams, even those that are only friendly matches, are often marked by notable and sometimes controversial incidents. This Rivalry is also called ‘The Battle of the South Americans’.

The origins of the football rivalry between Argentina and Brazil can be traced to before football became so popular in both countries. During the colonization of the Americas, Spain and Portugal often fought each other to gain control over vast territories.

Today few remember wars and other political confrontations between both countries, and only recall matches, victories, goals and other sport-related incidents. Their rivalry is found in almost all sports, but a men’s football match between Argentina and Brazil is one that neither side wants to lose, and often acquires more importance than the championship within which it takes place.

To exemplify the intensity of this rivalry, is enough to remember that after the 1946 incidents, the two teams did not play against each other for ten years; either team would decline to play a given cup so that they would never have to play against the neighbouring country.
