TigerTedd Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My wife (being a quarter Brazilian) has been following this all day. Apparently the team involved is Brazil's version of Leicester flying to play in the equivalent of the champions league final. Only 5 survivors on the flight. Only 3 from the team. The 24 year old goalkeeper has survived, but had to have his leg amputated. In a press conference before the match, the manager said if he died today he'd die happy. Couldnt be more tragic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt be more tragic My son has flown that same route on numerous occasions while working and living in South America. Some nice gestures. The team they were due to play have requested the cup is awarded to the team affected . The top clubs in Brazil have said they will loan players for free to the club for twelve months if they wish to continue RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt be more tragic For the record, the Copa Sul-Americana (Copa Sudamericana in Spanish) is the second continental competition behind the Copa Libertadores. This is more akin to the Europa League. Just for anyone interested in that side of things. Our thoughts should be with the families of all those that lost their lives.

Dimmu Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 ******* unbelievably harsh. Chapecoense has to pay 28500 € penalty for not playing their last game. After the crash they had couple days to apply postponement, but failed to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's outrageous, whatever happened to compassion. The Brazilian FA need to take a long hard look at themselves. Only today our FA is being berated for being out of touch...... Whoever passed this charge over to the club are quite clearly from Newark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
