Flip Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Never knew that, good fact for the day. As well as the middle class in Brazil growing with 40% over the last couple of years as well as Corinthians being in it for the first time gives them the opportunity to go there now that they can afford it.

Dave Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 We will absolutely murder Chelsea. (No seriously,) Corinthians will give Chelsea hell of a match though because we play a boring organized football. Wait, what? The smily takes away the first part ffs. Come on. And what I mean with boring organized football is that we won't give Chelsea space to play. We're not playing Chelsea until February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Never knew that, good fact for the day. As well as the middle class in Brazil growing with 40% over the last couple of years as well as Corinthians being in it for the first time gives them the opportunity to go there now that they can afford it. It was mental the amount of support Corinthians has like. I just got back from Sao Paulo and even on the motorways there's people flogging coke and flags in the middle of traffic and such (That much is normal I know). Some people there told me it was sort of like 'the club of the people' the same way AC Milan were? Still a canny amount with Ronaldo on the back of the shirt from this time there, albeit brief like. Loved the place. Thinking about it, why did Ronaldo sign for them over Flamengo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the place Flamengo has the biggest support in Brazil, but like you said Corinthians is the club of the people. It's a saying that everyone from the favelas supports Corinthians. Corinthians is not only for football though so there was a joke that the Brazilian Olympic Federation sent to few 'Corinthianos' to the Olympics and that's the reason Brazil gained so few medals, and that if had they sent more Brazil would've returned to Brazil with 75 bronzes, 55 silvers and 30 golds. Along with 100 of Rolex watches and the Queens crown. That kind of shows what level the Corinthians team has and their 'stereotype'. It's reported that Flamengo has 33million supporters across Brazil and Corinthians 26millions more or less. Huge numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Corinthians have 20,000 over for the world club cup apparently. Big cultural connection between Japan and Brazil, Sao Paulo has the highest concentration of Japanese people outside of Japan. Lots of Germans in Brazil aswell? Think I read that somewhere.
