"ela, ela, silêncio na favela!"

Is that the Portuguese lyrics to that pop song by Rihanna?

[Brazilian Villain]

Very good. 

It's what my team in Brasil, Fluminense's fans sing  to Flamengo. As Flu are generally a white and more middle class team it's a reference to Flamengo getting a lot of support from the slums (favelas) although  Flamengo have fans in every strata of Brazilian society.

As I discovered on a recent business trip to São Paulo fans of Corinthians sing the same thing to them.

Good to see Ray Wilkins speaking highly of us.

Its not quite this one though...

They will miss that sort of thing down the sty now they are skint, mind you they do have fond memories of Dugarry to keep them warn in the coming years.

That was his hatrick. He ended up on the losing side though as ronaldinho also scored a hatrick and flamenco won 4-3

[Dave]

Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick to bring Flamengo from 3-0 down to win 5-4.
