The World Club Championships...


Recommended Posts

Not a bad game. The Brazillian economy must be doing well, the ground is full of Corinthians fans.

Wonder how many Celtic will take next year :lol:

They have 30,000,000 fans. Biggest supported team in the world.

2m turned up to wave them off.

Going to be unbelieveable scenes when they return.

Commentator just said there that Corinthians were relegated in 2007!!!

They came straight back up and are now the richest team & best team in Brazil, and of course South American & World Champions.

In the words of Big Marvin ........ Believe :21:

Amazing isn't it. I mind when they got relegated, couldn't believe it.

Did they not try change the rules or something so that they wouldn't go down?

Don't know mate, I was unaware they had been relegated at all, amazing recovery.

No wonder they got relegated, the rebuilt their squad with players from the 2nd and 3rd division!! <cr>

Corinthians, one of Brazil's most popular clubs and champions two years ago, were relegated after drawing 1-1 at Gremio in their final game on Sunday.

Corinthians, winners of FIFA's Club World championship in 2000, began the day one point off the danger zone but were overtaken by Goias, who beat Internacional 2-1 with a three-times taken penalty.

Corinthians finished 17th in the 20-team first division with 44 points from 38 games and followed Juventude, Parana and America-Natal into Serie B.

Goias climbed to 16th with 45 points.

Sao Paulo had already won the championship with four games to spare.

Relegation came almost exactly three years after Corinthians signed a controversial partnership deal with London-based Media Sports Investments (MSI).

Although MSI initially spent lavishly on new signings, the relationship soured last year and the investments dried up.

This year's squad was based largely on players brought in from second and third division clubs.
