THis is what I thought. In Portuguese we have white collar ("colarinho branco") but I think we don't use the expression blue collar.

By the way, despite Flamengo's reputation of having only fans of lower class people, in reality we have more fans that any other Rio de Janeiro team in all social classes. I am fan of Flamengo for instance and I am not a lower class person.

Yep. Copa São Paulo de Futebol Junior is great for the young players because of the level of competition they play and because they play against players from other parts of the country.

When Flamengo won this competition in 1990, Marcelinho carioca and Djalminha were at the team.

Do any of the clubs have their websites translated into English.

Maybe I should choose Flamengo because you could keep me up with the news.

By teh way, Flamengo means Flemish (from Flanders) in Portuguese and is the name of a neighborhood in Rio.

Not that I know of. You hav to learn Portuguese.

But if you understand Spanish you'll have no problem to understand the Portuguese language.
