Talk:Campeonato Brasileiro

Recent Edits (as of September 14, 2005)
BLOGuil did a great work editing the article, but the correct name of Atlético from Goiás is Atlético Goianiense. See this link.

Also, Tuna Luso won Série C one time, in 1992, and its name needs to be included in the Série C Titles by Team.

 * Thanks, I fixed those. It would be really amazing editing an article this big without making mistakes. I made just two, I think it's a good number ;) --BLOGuil 21:26, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

2005 Championship
Shouldn't we add an article on the referee scandal and its outcome? It could limitate the "I support this team" on the matter... 201.34.87.254 21:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * There is already an article about the match-fixing scandal. It is located here. Regards, Carioca 21:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Now that Leandro Konrad Konfranz has stopped his lawsuit, can Corinthians be considered the champion? I read that another lawyer, Carlos Papaléo, will now sue CBF, so can we consider the matter still sub judice or not?--Vertigo200 22:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * If Carlos Papaléo sues CBF, the competition will be again sub judice. Let's wait to see what he does. Until he sues CBF, Corinthians can be considered the champion. Maybe it's better to wait. Regards, Carioca 21:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

The Internacional supporter Leandro Konrad retire the process of comum justice. The Corinthians is declared champion of Brazil in 2005, sorry.


 * Well, I guess leaving it like this is ok, since I read in Folha de São Paulo today that Internacional have given up. If Carlos Papaléo does indeed sue, then we can change, but I think it's reasonable to leave it like this for now. And anon poster, there’s no need to apologize… =]. --Vertigo200 18:49, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Comparison
Comparing this brazilian championship with others around the world, there are few similarities, but nothing equal to it.

No other country has this many teams playing in a national championship and it could be compared even to Libertadores or European Cup, not only due to the ammount of teams, but also the quality.

It is important to notice that most world statistics by FIFA does not take in consideration quality of teams, players or organization (which is always the worst part of any brazilian group), so the championship is usually overlooked by outsiders and the competition that happens within it usually filters out so much the teams that no single team has the oportunity to grab as many international titles as other country teams, such as any south american or european.

This is my opinion as brazilian but, above that, it's also my opinion as a student of statistics.

1987 controversy
The 1987 controversial championship seems to be explained in a clearly biased way, seeming to justify claims from Flamengo and Internacional which have been dismissed repeatedly.

Split
Perhaps we should split this article or create new articles for Série B and Série C? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lomibz (talk • contribs). 04:37, July 17, 2006
 * I agree. Please, split the article. This article needs to be converted into a disambiguation page, linking to the Série A, Série B and Série C articles. But, after the split, the wikilinks needs to be fixed (see the What links here). Carioca 00:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Template
Is it possible to modify the template for the Brazilian competitions at the bottom of the page? I believe the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 should be included, as it has been officialised by the CBF and it expected to take place on an annual basis. Lomibz 06:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You can edit it here. Please, include the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20 and the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Juvenil in Santiago (RS), but do not remove any competition. Regards, Carioca 07:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
