In the Brasileirao, Palmeiras have all but wrapped up the title with one match to go. They defeated Fluminense 1-0 while Botafogo could only manage a 0-0 with struggling Cruzeiro. The table is an interesting one top to bottom. At the top:
1. Palmeiras 37 +31 69
2. Atletico MG 37 +23 66

Botafogo continue their trend of dropping points from winning positions by taking the lead on a penalty vs Coritiba in 90+5'. Less than a minute later Coritiba went right down the field and with Botafogo players standing around thinking the game was won, equalised.
Atletico Mineiro got a good...
In the Brasileirao, Botafogo continue to drop points at the end of games from winning positions, conceding in the 90' to Santos in a 1-1 draw. This trend of conceding late from winning positions may have cost them the title. They held an 11 point lead at one point but the top of the table now...

He certainly did. Looked like he'd been hit by a Mike Tyson left hook.
I was behind the goal in the Trent End and gave Marcus Hahnemann a huge ration of shite.
After the long, drawn out 1st round and play-in games, the MLS Cup playoffs have reached the quarterfinal (or Conference semifinal) stage.
Sporting KC advanced through the play-in game defeating San Jose Earthquakes 0-0 and 4-2 on penalties then defeated #1 western seed St Louis City 2 games to...

Yes, the attempted stooping header was frustrating but more frustrating for me is his habit when on the ball of always wanting another touch. He ends up holding the ball too long and loses it. Pass the f***ing ball son!
MLS season has concluded and the playoffs begin Wednesday. FC Cincinnati have won the Supporters' Shield and head into the playoffs as the number one seed in the east. Very odd playoff system as seeds 8 & 9 have a play-in game and then round 1 is a best of 3 series while the following rounds are...
