Anger at Retrô spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Player ratings14 Jun 2027
Both of them Víctor Lanosa's — 9.09
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.09, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Transfer targets14 Jun 2027
Retrô make their move for Waguininho
$120.0K on the table at Criciúma. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

A falling-out at Retrô
Marco Espíndola and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Samuel Amaral falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Retrô find a way past Manauara
Manauara made Retrô work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

One of our own: Victor Figueiredo joins the Retrô first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Victor Figueiredo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Carlos Rocha steps up from the Retrô academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Rocha has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Rodrigo Gueti signs a new deal
