    It's not looking as if they're going to win promotion this season either!

    Brazilian S|-rie B is very tough. The clubs in it are either top dogs in their state leagues or are accustomed to play against the very big ones in their own state leagues. No easy games.
    Tchau!

    Vasco don't appear to find it easy to come straight back up again either.

    Wouldn't it be even more shocking if Santos were the ones to fall? They've never been relegated have they?

    Indeed. A mere 29 rounds (of 38) gone now and we spent a grand total
    of ZERO of these inside the promotion zone. We had a brief surge in
    the last five games due to a coach change and the arrival of veteran
    Nen|-, but tonight we screwed up for the millionth time and lost 1-0
    to Sampaio Corr|-a in S|uo Lu|!s. Had we won we'd be 6th, 2 points from
    4th place. Oh well.
    Do you think Gr|-mio will be playing there next season ?
    They're certainly making the effort. And interestingly that'd be yet
    another relegation with a big club on Scolari's resum|-. Palmeiras 2012
    was on his watch.

    Wouldn't it be even more shocking if Santos were the ones to fall?
    They've never been relegated have they?
    Yes, it would be a first for them. Santos, S|uo Paulo and Flamengo
    are the remaining teams that haven't been relegated. Yet :-)

    Are you happy because Gremio are doing badly, or are you disappointed because that means 2 less local derbies next year?

    Obviously I cannot speak on behalf of Jesus, and I hope he will correct me if what I say is wrong. But considering that the Gre-Nal is probably the most intense rivalry in Brasil, I doubt you will find one single colorado in the world disappointed for not having their local derby in Serie A.
    That goes for pretty much every other rivalry actually - I doubt there are Galo fans wondering if their first Brasileir|uo title in 50 years would taste better
    with Cruzeiro around, for example. But with the Gre-Nal, the scenario somehow looks even less plausible :-)
    Plus, there's campeonato ga||cho for that particular fix anyway.
