Brasileirão 2022 - Brazilian Championship Serie A

[gagux123]

I realized this weekend that the Brasileirão had already started, because while zapping on TV, I saw a channel playing a game. I don't know if I'll be able to go camping every game, because the hours of games in Portugal are not the most favorable. But maybe, as the most anticipated games are announced here, I can try to see something.

I have no idea who might win, but I have the precession that this year there will be more clubs competing for the title than last year.

wow, I understand... Well, I confess that in most soccer championships they start with a little bit expectation, but during the last games or in the last months of the championship it tends to get more competitive, because several teams fight each other not to be relegated and others fight for which will be the champion

But then what will be the games of the next journey?

Any game in particular that deserves to be highlighted?

starting in 1h: Flamengo x Palmeiras

This is going to be a great game! With two great teams, with two good Portuguese coaches.
Maybe I'll see a little bit of this game today, maybe the first part. 

Who do you think will win?
I see a great possibility of a tie, but this is unlikely. I would say that Palmeiras has a small advantage, because the team has been together longer. On the other hand, Palmeiras has had a lot of games in a row, and that can be less positive.

[alegotardo]

For now, only Corinthians and Atlético-MG are maintaining their unbeaten record, honestly I expected at least 5 teams in this situation at this point in the championship.
How long will they be able to maintain this invincibility?
Corinthians plays against Palmeiras and Atlético-MG faces Coritiba, both games take place tomorrow?

I believe that booth should maintain their unbeaten record, but only Corinthians continues to win 3 more points in the table.

I think some of the next games for this saturday are pretty predictable.

We have São Paulo against Bragantino, Atlético-MG against Coritiba and Flamengo against Athletico-PR. São Paulo, Atlético-MG and Flamengo are likely to win.

Between Corinthians and Palmeiras it's hard to say, but the lack of good performance from Palmeiras in the previous games and the lack of an efficient attack configuration right now, puts Corinthians into a more confortable position, as their strategy is working perfectly, since the beginning of the season.

Fluminense vs. Internacional, Juventude vs. Cuiabá and Avaí vs. Goiás look balanced games.

Moreover there are Santos and Botafogo, which show inconsistent results, but are able to surprise now and then. I believe they can win against their opponents, América-MG and Atlético-GO, respectively.

As the Brazilian championship is for consecutive points, I believe that there are no extremely competitive games like in a "mata-mata" tournament. (I don't know how to write this kind of competition)

At the end of the year, the games become more competitive, because, with the end of the championship, several teams need to win their games to avoid being relegated or also to be the champion or, to qualify for the Libertadores championship.

I almost agree with you....

The problem with this type of classification is that often the champions of a season are already known with 5 games or more left to the end of the championship, which takes out the enthusiasm of the games.

There are people who say that even halfway through the championship is a decisive factor to know who has a chance to win and who should be relegated.
I think a mixed system of scoring between groups followed by elimination (similar to the world cup of Fifa) is more interesting.

Great observation @alegotardo... this also works for the teams that are in the last places and we already know that he will be relegated to the B series of the championship!

I believe that a change in the procedures of the Brasileirão would be valid!

I think a championship similar to the world cup is interesting... the first games are classified, and in the others, it would be a straight match, if you lose the game you will be out of the championship!

This is true, the final face of the era may become less exciting. But that will also depend on the championship, and how the other teams face the games against the strongest or the potential champions.

For example, in the English championship - which will be one of the most competitive, the mid-table teams, can surprise the possible champion at any time. This makes the doubt of who will be champion until the last round. But, of course, there can always be seasons where the champion already has this guaranteed a few rounds before the last one.

Some championships have a system in which at the end there is a play-off of the best 6 qualified players, in order to determine the winner. As in the US championship.

Does a foreign coach have more knowledge to pass on to the team and the ability to win a championship?

I think it can bring other views of the game and approach, especially European coaches, as they theoretically see themselves as "better".
On the other hand, it also has more challenges, as they are unaware of the Brazilian championship, they have to adapt well so that they can combine the knowledge they have with the Brazilian championship.

In the case of the Portuguese, they are the 4 excellent coaches and they all coached the biggest clubs in Portugal and beyond.

True. European coaches specifically from Italy, Spain, and Germany have best known to have best coaches in football. Aside from they can bring new views and approaches in the game, i think the main reason why a certain country hire a foreign coach because their very own coaches have not met their requirements to be an effective coach, and they tend to find the required experience and exposure from another foreign countries. Although Brazil has also noted some greatest coaches in football way back then.

Despite generally agreeing, I think that a foreign coach is not always sought because there is no quality in the country.
I think sometimes it's good to go get it, because the national coaches are already having a very similar style, and even if they are good, they end up not doing much different from what they usually do. Therefore, a foreigner can bring another "school" that can help in this regard.

I wonder why other styles of sports didn't really "catch" in Brazil, we have volleyball and it's probably the second biggest one but for sure way far from football/soccer
football is still the main professional sport around here

do you think one day we'll have other big championships like Brasileirão for different sports with such a wide audience and reach?

I find it difficult. This process should have started much longer ago. Now, we're at that stage where when one grows up, they all grow up. Of course, not everyone will like everything, because what is big attracts more attention and people deal with it from a young age.

Unless the entire structure of the sport is redone. The USA is an example where there are several sports with a large audience: American football; baseball, basketball. But if you see the sports are organized so that they don't interfere with each other, and that way everyone can watch everyone.

Probably because soccer is cheap, we just need a ball and nothing else 
Only a couple of flip flops to mark the goal and we are ready to play

I remember when I was at school, and we played soccer most of times, only a few weeks we played basketball, volleyball and handball, it's our culture already and hard to change.
We don't have much infrastructure to play another sports in a wide way.


Guys, I watched some games and it's incredible how many gamble websites are sponsoring brasileirão and teams, I think they will expand here a lot
Sportingbet will be strong here, it's the official sponsor of the championship

Corinthians, my team, is being sponsored by Galera.bet, I never saw before 
I wonder how they gather so much money to sponsor all the teams


Today there's a great bet on Bragantino

You know that investing in football is almost certain to have a return.
Of course, sometimes it takes a lot of money, depending on the teams, but the visibility that the brand has with the public is a lot, and that's why many companies with more resources, end up investing in advertising/sponsorship in football.

Because a lot of people are spending money on these sites.
How many gambling-related subscription campaigns we have here on the forum? Where does so much money come from? From players!

Since the beginning of the pandemic, this is a sector that has grown absurdly and companies are right to invest in it!

Brasileirão is the main Brazilian football championship, one of the best in the world that are watched by many of people, it's a guaranteed return for those who invest in it.

The answer is simple... lack of investment and structure in these sports (of course there are other variables to be analyzed, but those I mentioned are the main ones)

Soccer is a type of sport that is rooted in the culture of Brazilians, since when children are extremely young, they already start to train soccer, earn money when young, sponsorships, scholarships in schools and universities.

And if the child / teenager is an excellent player, he will play in a European team (which is the dream of most children / teenagers)

Another interesting factor is the movement of money that football can move, it is much superior to other sports... I'll cite an example... it can be more advantageous for a company to sponsor a soccer team from the B series or even C series than to sponsor the main team of brazillian volleyball for example (of course what I mentioned is just an example of comparison)


By the way, tomorrow we will have a very interesting game, the classic between São Paulo vs Santos, who will win? (although I imagine most of the main players won't play and can play the reserves)

Exactly, Brazil has several talents in the most varied modalities, mainly the individual ones. But these super talented athletes, who often come from a poor family, need to rely on the help of people close to them to be able to travel internationally and compete in competitions.
In Brazil, there is practically no incentive to sports for athletes who do not follow a football career.

A tie! São Paulo has the difficult mission of facing the championship leader, but he plays at home. I bet on a score of 1x1
