6-1 tonight. A Brazilian pardna say Liverpool bettah watch out.
If they meet Liverpool in the final, I know it would not be so easy. Avai is a weak side. Fla will have to bring their super A game to beat this Liverpool team.
Precisely the caution I advised. Avai is the Anguilla of the league. However, we will know more on Sunday based on how they deal with Santos. De fella is steadfastly NOT a fan of Flamengo. We dealing with what he described as grudging respect and strong toxic dislike. He's an Atlético Mineiro fan.
If Flamengo makes tactical adjustments they could achieve competitive parity during phases of the match-up, but I do not think they can make a dent vs Liverpool if they apply the complete approach they've used in Série A. I expect modifications because Jorge Jesus will/should view playing against Liverpool as an opportunity to burnish his credentials and marketability in Europe.
By the way, he's the coach that coached Leonson at Felgueiras ...
Just found confirmation about his thoughts about the future:
– O próximo sonho é uma grande conquista europeia?
- Sim, mas eu sei que isso só abrange 6 ou 7 equipas na Europa. Só essas é que te dão a possibilidade de ser campeão europeu.
– Há algum campeonato que o alicie mais?
- Sou mais fã de dois campeonatos, que não são os preferidos da maioria das pessoas. Sou mais fã dos campeonatos espanhol e italiano do que do inglês. Todos querem treinar em Inglaterra, mas, se der, prioridade é a Espanha. Talvez também pela língua, porque estou muito habituado a falar com jogadores que falam castelhano. Por isso, seria mais fácil para mim. Mas não quero fazer previsões, até porque estou muito feliz no Flamengo.

Well Leonson could well be proud. It is funny how some Trinis does rub shoulders with greatness or the otherway around(the person rubbing shoulders with a great Trini). I found this article on the forum of another Trinis and greatness rubbing shoulders.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Generals of the National Professional Soccer League opened their home season in Yankee Stadium before 7,766 fans Saturday with a 2-1 conquest of the Chicago Spurs.
The game became extremely rough late in the second half and Chicago finished the contest with only 10 men after Nick Krat was put off for deliberately fouling Iris deBrito with three minutes to go.
Two players who joined the Generals only Friday were the scoring stars with Luis Menotti of Argentina getting the first New York goal at 14 minutes on a pass from Warren Archibald. The second General goal was scored 40 seconds into the second half on a pass from Archibald to Adilson Silveira of Brazil.Willie Roy connected for the only Chicago goal at 82 minutes when he booted in a loose ball.
