    Damn, 1 point in last 5 matches for Botafogo. And Gremio somehow 2nd place with 49 goals conceded.

    Brazil league is wild.

    I saw Botafogo vs Fluminese live a few weeks ago and WOW Bota dominated and were on a different level, how they are bottling this is crazy

      Fluminense didn’t really have their minds on this game though. They have been on very lousy form in the league, totally focused on winning Libertadores (and, well, it worked)

    My idolo Ramon Diaz pulling the impossible with Vasco, his magia Cuyana is insanely strong.

      Tbf Vasco squad improved drastically on the midseason window and they were definitely underperforming before. But Díaz is doing very well!

        I see their score since Payet arrived is 6-3-3 so sort of a great escape, but looking at the stats he hasn’t been too impactful

          Vegetti was their most impactful signing of the season, their season completely turned around when they got a number 9 capable of scoring.

      Barbieri should’ve been jailed for what he did to Vasco in the first half of the tournament, currently Vasco is top4 in the 2nd half table, but the first half was so fucking awful that if Ramon Diaz were there before i belive they would be fighting for a Libertadores spot with Athletico or at the Very least eating some popcorn with Flu and São Paulo

    What you guys can’t see is how the worst Santos in history, with the power of friendship and Pelé’s ghost, is escaping relegation after the most generic relegation run I’ve ever seen. The team:

    • Had 4 couches this championship, being Paulo Turra, Odair Hellman, Diego Aguirre and our lord and savior, Marcelo “Presuntinho” Fernandes;

    • Had some of the most abysmal losses I’ve ever seen, like a 7x1 against Internacional and a 3x0 against relegation team Cruzeiro played at home;

    • Team was punished with a few matches without public after throwing fireworks in the pitch against Corinthians.

    What else did we survive through this chaotic season? Then, Pelé’s ghost gave us a win against winner contender Grêmio, we hired a random argentinian who was playing in México and turned out to be a god, and the interim coach turned out to be a magician who can harness the power of frindship to make us win games from behind, while visiting much stronger teams (we won from behind against Palmeiras, Flamengo and Bahia away). I love this fucking club.

        We actually have the easiest matches of all the teams fighting relegation. There was a statistics post from globoesporte about that a couple days ago. São Paulo and Fluminense are no longer interested in the championship, Botafogo is one of the worst teams right now, Fortaleza at home is doable. Athletico away is hard.

        But you’re right, too early to comemorate anything.

    Botafogo really bottling it at the end there, 4 loses and a draw for their last 5 games, ouch.
