Sport Will Defeat Petrolina Today

This afternoon Sport will host Petrolina (three points from six games), currently locked in a heated battle for last place with Vitória (two points from six games). The outcome of the game is not in doubt, only the final score could surprise. Petrolina is not the sort of team that you can write much about.

Weldon will be on the bench, where he belongs, for this game. Sport's lineup will be the same as it has been for the last two games, which unfortunately means that Sidny will get to run around wearing the same clothing as the professional football players. Most likely the crowd will spend the first half shouting abuse at him, at halftime he will be replaced by Jonas, and the crowd will spend the second half saying things like "he's bad, but at least he isn't Sidny."

Tomorrow Santa Cruz plays Náutico in the Stadium of the Afflicted (not a translation error), because afflicted is what you are when Náutico is your team. Santa Cruz is still three points behind Sport, Náutico six. Should that game end in anything but a Santa Cruz victory, Sport will have one hand on the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1817 Trophy (also not a translation error).
