Ex-ref and now TV commentator Oscar Roberto Godoi forgot his mic was on in the final momentos of Copa do Brasil. When goalie Felipe froom Corinthians grabbed the ball and fell, Godoi uttered the already classic phrase: “can’t lay down, son of bitch, or [the ref] will have to fuckin add more time[to the stoppage time]“. Watch below the moment (8 seconds into the video). He is the second voice that comes in. If you took Spanish 1, you will be able to hear Godoi pronounce in good Portuguese “filho da puta”. Enjoy.

The second leg of the final of Copa do Brasil was no land for children.

And Corinthians was an adult side. The club stepped into the pitch after losing last year’s Copa do Brasil and with the difficult experience of spending one season in the second division.

Inter? The home team looked like an teenager, at most. It entered the match bringing the 2-0 in Sao Paulo. Its fans and players were fueled by its vice-president, who created a media circus in trying to prove that refs have consistently benefited Corinthians.

Before the 5th minute, two yellow cards were shown, one for each side. The first chance appeared with D’Alessandro.. The visitor’s midfield, however, marked with passion. Cristian and Elias gave no space to the skilled attacking players from Inter.

As Inter relied on short and quick passes, Corinthians seemed to get more and more dangerous every second. The passes that the home team exchanged were rushed. The red team was very nervous. 22 minutes into the match, the first time Corinthians shot on goal, the final was over. Andre Santos, straight from the Confederations Cup final, crossed and Jorge Henrique scored. At that point, Inter had to score 4 goals.

As the number 23 celebrated his goal like Michael Jackson, Inter got completely lost. It passively waited for the final hit. And it came faster than it imagined.

Six minutes later, Andre Santos, the best player of the match, scored a beautiful goal. With its second shot on goal, the final was really over. Inter not only gave up. It became a big zombie waiting for a bigger massacre.

Corinthians, however, relaxed. There was no need to rush. Ronaldo even had the chance of scoring the third, but Lauro denied him. On the other side, Felipe not only denied the home team its two chances. He denied Inter the chance to dream with the impossible.

But it was really to going be difficult. Glaydon played poorly. And the two players who were with the national team were very shy. It seems seating on the bench of Brazil got Nilmar and Kleber depressed. The number 6 not only knew that his chances with Dunga became ashes, but he also saw on the other side a great performance of Andre Santos, the man who sent Kleber to the bench (and possibly the limbo) of the national team.

When the second-half started, the only mission for Inter was to make it less humiliating. Corinthians had only to keep things. But as the action developed, Inter still seemed shocked by the defeat at home. Its player focused more on the referee than playing.

It took 20 minutes for Inter to absorb the loss of the title. And, ironically, it is when it started playing well. Without the pressure, inter seemed Inter.

In the 19th, Felipe saved it. In the 25th, Alecssandro, who replaced Glaydson, scored the first for the locals. Four minutes later, it scored again. Inter started to believe again. And this is when it sabotaged itself again.

D’Alessandro, the Argentine supposed to be the one with international experience, argued with the ref and with half of Corinthians team. He was the embodiment of what his vice-president did outside the pitch. The result? A red card. Time wasted when Inter gained momentum. Childish to say the least.

And the number 10 tried to take William with him. The defender, however, did not pay attention to him.

The match was over. And Ronaldo almost got the cherry on top of the ice cream. He missed it, but at that point, it made no difference. Corinthians, champions of 2009 Copa do Brasil.

It is the first title at the national level since Corinthians played the second division. It is the first title at national level for Ronaldo. The third Copa do Brasil title of Corinthians (other two in 95 and 02). And Corinthians will playing the year of its centenary Copa Libertadores. The fans are right. They sang at the end of the match, “Corinthians is back!”

Very cool! Ronaldo for Guaraná Antartica.

Amaaaazing come back! Watch all goals from Brazil 3 - 2 US

Not an usual game, I should say. After eliminating Spain, the US had acquired a different aura in the eyes of Brazilians. Suddenly, the squad that was massacred 3-0 became a team to be respected. That way, both sides started the match nervous. Brazil for the reason already mentioned. The US for losing virginity in a FIFA tournament final against Brazil.

The left side of the Brazilian defense invited the Americans for a big party. Andre Santos looked even more nervous than the rest of the team, and Gilberto Silva was a slow rock failing to cover the stage fright of the number 16. This is how the US found its first goal. Andre Santos left it open and Silva did not follow the American.

The goal got in the nerves of the Brazilian. Wrong passes increased and every play was rushed. For 5 minutes Brazil was completely lost.

Brazil had its first real challenge in the tournament, and one of the biggest of the Dunga era: to play against itself. Never the psychological aspect of the Brazilian team had been hit that hard. But it was just the beginning.

When finally Brazil managed to absorb the impact, and started to pressure (creating 2 chances with Melo and Maicon), the US hit again.

At that point, it was obvious that the Americans were going to explore the counter-attacks. However, Brazilians never thought they could do it just like Brazilians. The goal scored by Donovan was an exact copy of the goal Robinho scored against the Americans in the group stage. Karma is a bitch.

After the goal, Brazil got lost again. And the US could’ve ended the final there.

It took another five minutes to recover, but at that point, players could not cool down. Andre Santos, a man who was playing the second division of the Brazilian league until last year, could not handle the pressure. Ramires too. But even Kaka and Robinho seemed like freshmen.

The final 10 minutes was pure pressure, but the ball did not want to visit the back of the net. Dunga had to figure out the American monster in the half-time.

In the second-half, before the Americans could blink, Luis Fabiano was already celebrating. The striker was courageous and brave in his search for victory. The US, however, did not seem to feel the pressure as the Brazilians felt.

Gradually, Brazil started to grow. With 12 minutes, Howard denied Lucio and Gilberto missed. With 14 minutes, Kaka hit the cross bar with a header and Howard pushed the ball from inside the goal. The referee and linesmen did no see it. Desperation grew.

Americans watching the game on TV were having a live lesson about football: Unlike American sports, in football not always the best side wins.

With 20 minutes, Dunga replaced the nervous Andre Santos for a Daniel Alves - man who won everything with Barcelona, and more fit to handle the pressure.

Elano also came in replacing Ramires in order to manage better the counter attacks by the Americans and to explore long passes. Forwards? No, as Robinho shamefully was not there again.

With 25 minutes, Howard denied Luis Fabiano again. But The American defense was full of spaces. And physically speaking Brazil started to look better than the US.

Desperation grew and an yellow avalanche hammered the American defense. This is when Kaka carried the ball and crossed. Robinho, chickening out in an important match one more time, hit the bar. But Luis Fabiano gave no more chances for Howard. The draw finally took place. Some calm set in for Brazil after 75 minutes.

But the American defense melted and invited for more. And Brazil did not lay back. Kaka started to play a lot in the left since Brazil lacked a specialist.

With 5 minutes left, the Americans could not take the pressure. Lucio scored the winning goal Finally the corner worked. Finally Lucio, a man that came close to scoring in so many occasions in this tournament scored. The American dream lasted for 84minutes. But this time, this 84 marked no revolution.

Brazil held possession of the ball until the referee blew the final whistle.

Brazil is the first country to win the confederations cup for the third time. Just like it did with the World Cup by being the first country to win it for 3, 4 and 5 times.

For Dunga, it is his second title as a coach. And now Brazil seats on a very similar position as it did 4 years ago: Copa America champion, Confederations Cup champions and leading the Wolrd Cup qualifying with 27 points after the match against Paraguay. But with a big difference: this team has appetite for victory.

The mission for Dunga for now: to break the spell of winning a World Cup after lifting the Confederations Cup. You know the results in the World Cup after Brazil lifted the Confederations Cup in 97 and 05.

Let’s celebrate: É CAMPEÃO!!!

ps: No, US. You can’t.
