Vasco is also named the Hill Giant

3:25 just to add, Pelé said Vasco has the most beautiful story in football. To explain, the only way for them to get back into the league other than disposing the black players was by getting a stadium, which they couldnt finance, so the fans themselves helped finance AND build what was then the biggest stadium in south america, the "São Januário". Thus why Pelé named Vasco as the club with the most beautiful story in football.

You English, and this cancer of mixing politics with football. We don’t want this ‘cancer’ in Brazil. If you like Brazil and want to produce football content from my country, have respect for my country and don't bring this political shit mixed with football. We're not divided like you and we don't want to be divided

Thank you very much for the explanation. Im South African i love Sao Paolo

I was 8 years old at the time, I remember that day like it was yesterday, it was the game that made me become a Gremista. I cry every time I watch the film.

Grêmio is called Imortal due to a historical match known as "Batalha dos Aflitos"

The history of Vasco da Gama is one of the most beautiful in Brazil. ❤ It fought against racism in football at a time when black people were not accepted, its stadium was built with the help of its fans and the club has the recognition of Portugal to change its name to Real Vasco da Gama if it wants.

Are you going to break back this podcast?

Botafogo🔥🔥🔥⭐

Everton = Botafogo

Just a quick correction, the nickname of "Porco" (pig) of Palmeiras is due to an unfair play they did in 1967. During the dispute of Campeonato Paulista of 1967, two Corinthians players (Lidu and Eduardo) have died on a car crash. The rules of the championship didn't allowed any player to be substituted but an exception could be made if all other teams agreed. All the other 18 teams agreed to it right on time, but Palmeiras prefered to say no, because Corinthians always have been they biggest rivals. From that movement, supporters from all teams started to call them "Espírito de Porco", what can be translated to "pig-spirit", something that can be translated maybe as "wet blanket".

About the Palmeiras "porco" nickname, its not actually an italian slur, but a fascist one. "Fascist pig" is a term even in english, and they got that moniker because of their connection with the Mussolini regime

big up big meng, biggest meng.

Botafogo and Fluminense are far from beeing a medium club

Im right footed and right handed erling haaland and lee kang are both left footed forwards but they use both of their feet to play

My favourite player was Paulo Nunes, he’s the reason why I became a Palmeiras fan. My father is a Corinthians fan

Great content lads…

just confirmed it. Stadiums getting nicknamed after their neighborhood are not uncommon. Morumbi and Pacaembu in São Paulo being two famous examples. Real name of the Aflitos Stadium is Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho As for the Aflitos neighborhood in Recife, it got it's name from a Chapel built in 1762, Chapel of our Lady of the Afflicted. Our Lady of the Afflicted (Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos) is a Marian devotion that originated in Portugal and spread to Brazil. Unlike other Marian titles, it isn't tied to a specific apparition or miracle. Instead, it reflects people's faith in Mary as a source of comfort during times of suffering and hardship. Seen as a compassionate mother, believers turn to her for strength and peace when facing personal or communal challenges. This devotion grew in rural areas and fishing communities, becoming a symbol of hope and resilience. Even today, processions and prayers in her honor continue, especially among those seeking relief from difficult situations. In other words... if we want to be REALLY descriptive, it's the FOOTBALL BATTLE THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE STADIUM LOCATED AT THE RECIFE NEIGHBORHOOD NAMED AFTER THE CHAPEL DEVOTED TO ST MARY OF THE AFFLICTED.

Back in 2005, the Brazilian Serie B was not a league format. I think only 2 teams would be promoted and there was a kinda of playoff where they faced each other only once and the top two would be promoted. Even the Brazilian Serie A only became standard european league format in 2003. It had playoffs before that. With the size of Brazil, since it became standard league format, it really has priviledged the clubs playing in a more central area of Brazil with more teams around... meaning São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, since they must travel MUCH less.

Just a point... Aflitos (Afflicted) is the name of the stadium... more probably a nickname, probably the neighborhood's name where the stadium was located.

So, about the clubs Cruzeiro and Atlético from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (MG) the mascots were given during the 40s. One can easily overlook how the rivals mascots can be set in the Greek dichotomy of Intelect (Fox) vs Force (Rooster). Also, that is a preying fight there. I think you treated their part too fast, especially compared to the clubs of Rio and São Paulo, so here more info: 7:19 Cruzeiro was given the Fox (Raposa) as a mascot (and therefore its nickname) by the cartoonist because its president was at the time clever and cunning as a fox. Cruzeiro also has two nicknames, "Zêro", the way "Zeiro" sounds in Minas Gerais accent, and Cabuloso, that means something/someone that imposes fear and dread on people. In everyday life, Cruzeiro fans use Cruzeiro and Cabuloso to refer to the club, while Fox is the visual representation and "Zêro" is more lyrical, used in chants for example. 6:52 Alt-MG* has its nickname "rooster" (galo) given by the cartoonist in 1945 because its president at the time he had a very combative manner, like a fighting cock (cockfighting is not a completely legal practice in Brazil "the spirit of the club". One can for sure say that "Rooster" is the name most of its supporters use when they refer to their team in day to day talks but also visually/imagetically and lyrically (in chants). * Eu sei que vocês atleticanos odeiam que escreva "Alt", porem como procurei ser super imparcial no resto da história, pois achei que o futebol mineiro merecia mais atenção como um todo. Porém, eu tinha que deixar meu clubismo respirar um pouco também né. Engolem o choro e fiquem de boa. Abs, os amo e odeio o seu clube (odeie o pecado, ame o pecador).

Very accurate. Timao has double meaning.

as brazilian I love the effort, nice video❤🇧🇷

Urubu é por causa de um jogo contra o botafogo, em que o flamengo estava perdendo e no intervalo pousaram alguns urubus no campo, ai no segundo tempo o flamengo virou o jogo e ganhou. Daí o urubu virou o mascote!

São Paulo's colors come from the colors of the teams that were united on its formation

The nine most successful teams, Vasco, Fluminense, and Botafogo

I dribble with left foot and shoot with right foot but are also able to shoot with left but i'm more dominant shooting with right foot

Very cool video. Just so you know... Clube Atlético Mineiro was named Galo because of its fighting ability and determination. This reason led to comparisons with the cockfights that existed at the time. One of the most notable players in the history of Galo was called Zé do Monte and had the habit of always entering with the team mascot under his arm.

Needs more Gerrard!

In Portuguese, the term "Timão" refers to the device used to steer a ship, which is known in English as "helm." The "timão" controls the rudder, and by adjusting it, the ship's course is changed. So, "Timão" is the Portuguese word for what is called the "helm" in English.

Strange that no one talk about this, but Timão is the Ship's wheel in portuguese. But mosty of Corintians fans forget about this XD

Coritiba is a big club here in the south of the country, but in recent years it has been oscillating between the first and second division. The team is known as "coxa" which means thigh, this is due to the fact that the club came from Germany, and there were many white people in the club and the fans of the rival team "athetico paranaese" were responsible for maliciously nicknamed the players, however the club embraced it as a nickname and is currently the biggest champion of Paraná with 39 titles , 2 series B and 1 series A (and also 2 runners-up in the Copa do Brasil) not to mention the club's great tradition, which has the largest fan base in the state of Paraná, and the Olympic-shaped stadium, unlike many other trendy arenas. Even though it is in the second division of the Brazilian championship, Coritiba will host Brazilian national team games because of the high level of the "Couto Pereira" stadium. Since 1909, bringing strength, determination and tradition even though it is currently an average team, but with a lot of history. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💚💚💚

It was a good presentation of the twelve greats, but I found the part that refers to GREMIO to be very short! The club that won the 1983 World Cup, three times the American Cup and that, among other stars, trained and launched Ronaldinho Gaúcho. One hundred and twenty-one years of history, always among the top teams in the rankings. All this, based in a medium-sized city far from the largest economic centers in Brazil.

Foi uma boa apresentação dos doze grandes, mas achei muito curta a parte que se refere ao GREMIO! O clube campeão mundial de 1983, três vezes campeão da América e que, entre outros craques, formou e lançou o Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Cento e vinte e um anos de história, sempre entre os primeiro do ranking. Isso tudo, sediado numa cidade de porte médio e longe dos maiores centros econômicos do Brasil.

Unforgettable! 💙🖤🤍

This video is very good

"Timão" is a helm of a ship

Since Brazil's history, we have received many emigrants from Europe, many of them founders of clubs such as Germans from Curitiba and Italians from Palmeiras and Cruzeiro. like the Portuguese from Vasco Gama and the Portuguese, in Argentina the same thing happened club Boca Junior has roots from Sweden

Corinthians- Eu estou right wing

Cruzeiro's "FOX"nickname came by the clever way it's directors played their cards. Aways finding great player deals witch brought championships to the club. With that, came fans, recongition and respect from the whole coutry! Cruzeiro is from Minas Gerais, witch at the time was completely outside the "media axis" at the time, and was the first to break that barrier with a 6x2 against the Peles's Santos FC. CRUZEIRO ESPORTE CLUBE!

Some more São Paulo nicknames for you: Soberano: translated to "Sovereign", after being the best team in Brazil for some time (around 2003 to 2008, maybe), the media and their own fans started to call the team like this. Jason: the iconic slasher terror character was an nickname for São Paulo for some time, when people thought São Paulo was not a threat anymore or dead, they usually bounced back, hence the nickname (Grêmio also has an nickname like this, but their fans call them "Imortal")

Interesting fact about me, my father is a Corinthians fan and I support Palmeiras. I started supporting them because I loved watching Paulo Nunes playing for us and wearing that nice pig mask…

I’m disappointed mate, you don’t feel attached to palmeiras hahaha. We are not a Brazilian man united hahaha. We would be the more similar to Liverpool. Maybe that can change your mind.

Cadê o Íbis e o Tabajara?

Henrique is polishing his English… I like that.

vai corinthians

Timão is not "large team" it's the portuguese name for ship helm

it is a shame that Corinthians supporters won't be able to understand the video... They barely know Portuguese, imagine English 😂 Btw they are aslo known as Opossum (Gambá in Portuguese)... They are black & white and stinks. Like their supporters

Oh, the Big 12, the absolute trash group that ruined brazilian football. As a Remo supporter I despise almost all of them. They are psrtially responsible for my team currently being in the 3rd tier. Fluminense got itself promoted from the 3rd to the 1st tier while canceling our promotion to Série A just because yes, and both CBF and the 13 Club battled against Remo in the justice to avoid us from playing Série A in 2001
