Lugano is about to sign with the Paris Saint-Germain. It’s certain to happen in the next day or so. I predict that’s a decisive move for the PSG to win the championship this year. Diego Lugano will bring the garra that can overcome any obstacle. Well done Leonardo!
Maracanazos wish a warm welcome to Diego Lugano!

The U-20 Seleção won the World Cup yesterday beating Portugal 3-2 during the overtime with a stellar performance by Oscar. The players of U-20 teams don’t always carry through with the promises that they show at this stage but who knows if some of these will be future World Cup stars. In any case, this young Brazilian team is full of hope and sets the new trend. New trend? Isn’t that the literal definition of Bossa Nova? I couldn’t resist the comparison so please enjoy a must-have moment of Bossa Nova with Elis Regina and Tom Jobim.
Maracanazos are always auriverde somewhere in their hearts.
Best news of the day! Scheduled for the next friendly game of the Auriverdes against Ghana in London on September 5. Ronaldinho was for a while the top scorer in the Brazilian league this year and can still be decisive against any team. Let’s see if Ronaldinho can make his dream come true of participating in the next World Cup. I wish him all the best!
Maracanazos are fans of comebacks!
La Celeste has done it for the 15th time, smashing Paraguay 3 – 0 in a brilliant demonstration of team work and star individualities. What a game by Luis Suarez & Diego Forlan & Arevalo Rios! Uruguay played its best game during the final, it’s 15th win in 21 Copa America finals….talk about a successful track record in winning the games that count. The 3rd goal is absolutely fantastic with a triple combination between Cavani, Suarez and Forlan. If this team keeps its coach and most of the existing players, can we expect a Maracanazo III in 2014? What a better video of the highlights of the final than the one commented by the unique, the only, the real Victor Hugo Morales. Or do you prefer how Carlos Munoz shouts them?
Today there are 3.5 million Maracanazos!
Now the press has been all over with the Maracanazo of Sante Fe! Imagine, 61 years after Maracanazo I, the Celeste writes another extraordinary episode of world football by wiping Argentina out of its beloved Copa America! Uruguay played 48 minutes at 10 against 11 and still did it. The recipe? Some brilliant players + the legendary garra + a coach who embodies la force tranquille.
Maracanazos well… just love Maracanazos!
I had written about their comeback and had forecasted that they would win the Bundesliga back in December. Much of the Schwartzgelben’s merit is tied to their coach Jürgen Klopp. He bet on a young squad and has proven that you don’t need dozens of millions of euros to win a title. Dortmund fans must be ecstatic now that they have equalled arch rival Shalke 04′s number of titles. Well done!
Maracanazos know that money can’t buy it all!
Rooney embodies the new modern n°10 for me:
Rooney is simultaneously a n°6, 9 and 10.
Maracanazos like innovative players.
Napoli 4 – Lazio 3. San Paolo stadium is once again the volcano it used to be under Maradona. El Matador is the best player in the Italian league. Naples never looses faith and wins again in the last 5 minutes of the game after having been led 2-0 and 3-2. Will Naples, the underdog, win the calcio? Milan is 3 points ahead after it won the clasico against Inter. The championship will in any case be won by one of these 3 teams.
Just enjoy a stadium where vibrant football is played!
Maracanazos love comebacks!
What a debut Suarez has had with Liverpool! The best part so far is his dribbling of 4 Man Utd players in this Sunday’s Premier League game. Kuyt could have left the ball roll in…. With El Matador and the great Forlan, Uruguay could well do better than 4th in World Cup 2014!
Maracanazos are already looking ahead to World Cup 2014!
Ronaldo the “Fenomeno” has just announced his retirement from football. The critical question for all those that like to look at football through its historic lenses is who was the best center forward ever? Here is my take:
Here is a selection of some incredible goals by Ronaldo at his best while he was playing for Barça. Relax and enjoy the artist!
Maracanazos have a sweet spot for n° 9s.
