On the one hand, Alexandre Pato isn't old — he's only 33. On the other, memories of his footballing career belong to the wizened generations. It's been a decade since his last appearance for Brazil and 12 years since that unforgettable goal against Barcelona.
Brazilian defensive midfielder Guilherme Madruga scored a spectacular bicycle kick from distance in the second tier of Brazil on Tuesday to secure a 1-0 win for his club Botafogo-SP.
Madruga had yet to score a goal for the club this season, but on his 28th appearance he unleashed a Puskás-worthy strike.
It's not weird to see two teammates discussing who'll take a penalty despite coaches having a pecking order. However, it's not common to witness scenes like the one starring Cruzeiro players Bruno Rodrigues and Henrique Dourado that ended up with the taker missing from the spot not once, but twice on Wednesday night.
Four months after his death, people in Brazil are still mourning and paying tribute to Pelé. And last weekend, during the Pernambucano Cup final between Retro and Sport Recife, we witnessed another of those homages.
Perhaps, the most bizarre of all.
Fans at the Ilha do Retiro Stadium were left flabbergasted after a giant figure of Pelé, dressed up in a suit and a superhero cape with the colors of Brazil, entered the field to kick off the game.
Con 11 goles en 12 partidos del Clausura 2023 y un lugar en la Selección Mexicana, Henry Martín vive días dulces. Tan dulces que sus goles comienzan a despertar el interés de clubes fuera de la Liga MX.
Y uno de esos equipos es el Vasco da Gama de Brasil.
Luego de su decepcionante Campeonato Carioca y el poco impacto que ha hecho Pedro Raul, el delantero que llegó a principios de año desde el Kashiwa Reysol de Japón, en Vasco da Gama necesitan un atacante que haga goles para el inicio del Brasileirao 2023.
If you were to give me the option of going to prison for a year or taking a free kick from Hulk directly to the face, I’m taking the prison option. If you’re not convinced, then perhaps this Hulk free kick goal will persuade you.
Hulk scored an insane free kick goal on Wednesday vs. Democrata that had a top speed of 74 miles per hour.
The 36-year-old Brazilian scored two goals on the day; however, everyone is talking about his second.
Arturo Vidal is the kind of player that always wants to be on the field. So, being a benchwarmer on a star-studded Flamengo team is starting to rot his veins. That was more than evident on Wednesday night when, after learning he would not be subbing in, Vidal threw a tantrum that has now him at a crossroads with Flamengo's fans and the media.
If you’re looking to find some videos that will give you goosebumps, then you’ve come to the right place. Videos of Athletico Paranaense fans have gone viral and for a special reason.
The Brazilian club is currently serving a ban on fans due to fights breaking out in the stadium. There was one loophole with the ban: only men were barred from attending the games.
Women and children were allowed to watch the team and so what the club did was make the entry fee for games one kilogram of non-perishable food. The turnout was spectacular.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, ha muerto hoy a los 82 años.
Para muchos, O Rei fue el mejor jugador en la historia del fútbol, por lo que su partida deja un legado difícil de borrar entre quienes aman el deporte.
Pelé alcanzó la fama apenas con 17 años, al convertirse en una de las estrellas con que Brasil obtuvo el Mundial de 1958. Y de ahí en adelante seguiría escribiendo historia con letras doradas.
Cruz Azul sueña con tener a Luis Suárez para el Clausura 2023 y el molino de los rumores asegura que La Máquina le propuso dos años de contrato a cambio de jugosos seis millones de dólares. La oferta, sin embargo, todavía no convence del todo al Pistolero.
El uruguayo – libre después de un semestre en Club Nacional – no ha dicho que no a La Máquina, pero se deja querer a la espera de otros ofrecimientos. La MLS siempre ha sido opción, mientras que desde Brasil, el Gremio se ha sumado a los cantos de sirena.
