Thats more than Liverpool have ever paid for centre-back. Well the new guy they just got is the club record and that £6.8m ($13m) I think.

Yeah... look this goal he made: YouTube - Golaço do Breno nas sardinhas!!!

He's really skilled for a centre-back.

Coooooooooooooool

Not a small looking lad either

Yeah... he's something.

Sao Paulo was brazilian champion again.... 2 consecutive titles and 5 won in total (the maximum a team could won, as well as Flamengo).

You can see some nice goals here, from the 2007 season:

It wasn't always like that.... last brazilian title before those 2 (06 and 07) was in 1991.

I guess pleasure always come after lots of suffering.

I think Inter Milan went like 20 years without an Italian League right?

Something like that...

They did get it by default the year before...but won it proper this year. Tho saying that the default yeah they won too. I mean Juventus had been cheating.
