Blimey. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5ylq7p0e62o That's crossing the line, even for an agent
Sao Paulo v Flamengo this evening attracted a paltry 11,000 spectators. Elfs, are attendances always so poor in Brazil? I always thought of Brazilian teams playing to vast crowds in colossal arenas.
For reasons unknown Sao Paulo played the game at Santos' ground. Santos is around 3 hours from Sao Paulo. The capacity of Santos is around 16k. Sao Paulo have a fantastic bowl of a ground and can take around 65k, attendances are not normally announced over here but at a guess they would comfortably pull in 40k for a game. For the derbies and Flamengo they'd be near capacity. The majority of games in Serie A will see gates of 30k plus, Vasco da Gama have a similar capacity to Santos but they play the Rio derbies in the Maracana then the gates go upto 50k. Out here you will pay between 10-£30 for games so you do not get fleeced, this is as a non member, as a member the tickets are even cheaper.
Haaland's goal against the scousers today was his 28th this season for both club and country. Our clowns will not even get this with shots on target
