Na atitude saudosa de quem chora - Alfredo Brochado 2007-05-16 13:44:00 Na atitude saudosa de quem chora,passas o tempo sem ninguém te ver.O tempo, sim melhor não sei dizer,essa coisa contada hora por hora.Eu sou a culpa desse teu sofrer,é minha a culpa, bem o sei, embora.Continuarei a amar-te como outrora,muito em silênciio, sem ninguém saber.E quantas vezes, noite morta, a sós,eu julgo ouvir em sonhos uma voz,cantando lá por fora, no jardim.Depois acordo, mas que voz aquela?E fico de olhos postos numa estrela,que é a tua imagem a passar por mim.in A Circulatura do Quadrado Alguns dos Mais Belos Sonetos de Poetas cuja Mátria é a Língua Portuguesa, Edições Unicepe, 2004.Alfredo

Champions League: and the Champions are Milanese 2007-05-23 17:24:00 Milan 2-1LiverpoolInzaghi shone by scoring two goalsMilan defeated Liverpool in Athens and have won their 7th European Champions
Clubs' Cup. Two years ago, in a thrilling game, Liverpool won on a penalty shots decision after a 3-3 score.Rafael Benitez, a tactical coach, opted for a five-man midfield and this tactic gave to Liverpool the possibility to held well the ball. However, the game offered both teams few chances to score. In effect this time the game wasn't so high in emotions as two years ago because after Inzaghi has scored the first goal, following a Pirlo's free kick at 45 minutes, there were no doubts as to who the winner was going to be. During the second half, Liverpool didn't have a clear chance of drawing the game. By the contrary Milan could have increased it's chances of scoring another goal had it not been for the auxiliary referee's incorrect signalling of an offside situation at the 60th minute. At this stage , with Crouch part of the game on Liverpool's si Read more:League

SLB SLB SLB Benfica Campeão !!! 2007-05-22 16:07:00 Não não não se assuste. Mas também não é engano! Isso aconteceu há dois anos. É que hoje faz dois anos que o Benfica
empatou no Bessa e sagrou-se Campeão português de futebol, sob a orientação de Trapattoni após 11 anos de jejum.Comentámos assim neste blog:Somos campeões. SLB SLB SLB Glorioso, são alguns dos gritos de vitória que se ouve por todo o país comemorando o título de campeão português de futebol que escapava há onze anos.O FC Porto não fez o seu trabalho empatando em casa com a Académica e por isso a "encomenda" que fez aos seus vizinhos do Bessa não valia de nada. O Benfica empatou com o Boavista num jogo de fraca qualidade mas em que nunca se viu grandes hipóteses do Boavista poder triunfar. Os adeptos ainda sofreram com o aproximar do final do jogo e ao ver o Boavista a fazer substituições mais ofensivas mas a tranquilidade veio do Estádio do Dragão com o anunciar do golo do empate da Académica. Agora é a festa e como dizíamos aqui ontem
Pai João - Ciro Costa 2007-05-22 13:00:00 Do taquaral à sombra, em solitária furna,(para onde, com tristeza, o olhar, curioso, alongo),sonha o negro, talvez, na solidão noturna,com os límpidos areais das solidões do Congo...Ouve-lhe a noite a voz nostálgica e soturna,num suspiro de amor, num murmurejo longo...E o rouco, surdo som, zumbindo na cafurna,é o urucungo a gemer na cadência do jongo...Bendito sejas tu, a quem, certo, devemosa grandeza real de tudo quanto temos!Sonha em paz! Sê feliz! E que eu fique de joelhos,sob o fúlgido céu, a relembrar, magoado,que os frutos do café são glóbulos vermelhosdo sangue que escorreu do negro escravizado!Ciro Costa (n. em Limeira, São Paulo a 18 de Março de 1879; m. nio Rio de Janeiro a 22 de Maio de 1937).
