Realistically speaking, it's impossible.
But we're talking about the club that was given 99% chances of relegation in 2009 and needed an invincible sequence of 11 games to escape. Which not only they did, but proceeded to win the league the following year. So I guess Fluminense don't care about what's possible or not. >vence o fluminense, com o verde da esperança >pois quem espera sempre alcança

if there's any brazilian team that cab nake miracles happen it's this one
they were very obviously considered by everyone to be the weakest brazil team yet they stand, it's far more likely that their luck will run out now that they go against an actual team
Chelsea is totally beatable
Flamengo already did, Benfica took them to overtime and Palmeiras were just a few minutes away from doing it. If you can hold a tie for 90 minutes, there's no reason to think that you can score some meme goal.
I hope so, Chelsea is symbolizing everything whats wrong with football. Close to a 50 player squad, billionaire owners selling their own assets to affiliated companies to keep the money train going.
Since their new ownership moved in they have spent 1.7 billion £.
Not that there was much sovl to begin with under their previous owner spending insane money but this is another level.

Fluminense is the brazilian club that got the furthest in the most important football tournament of all time, against some of the best teams in the world.
Therefore, since no other club in the country managed to get such an achievement, Fluminense is the brazilian GOAT.
this is arguable, something that can only be attributed to la mistica happened with fluminense mid 2020s and they’ve been doing stuff similar to the mid 70s (their most sucessful period before)

Nothing in English or with a high production value, I'm afraid. But there's this one they made by SporTV with scenes from the games and interviews with the coach and the centre-forward, if you're autistic enough to sit through the whole thing with automatically translated subtitles. https://youtu.be/w7CEvwEFxnA?feature=shared

Fluminense's players are all over 30, if it goes to ET they're finished. The final against PSG would be completely impossible kek, imagine Dembele, Vitinha and all those other pacy niggas against 40yo Thiago Silva, 36yo Samuel Xavier and 44yo Fábio.
as a tricolor, all I can say is that I saw Fluminense make impossible things before, and so did my father and many before us. Make us proud boys, com o verde da esperança

also in the last game we relegated Coritiba in their stadium in a centenary year, it evolved into a riot players had to be escorted out. Search for batalha do couto pereira
For those who don't know fluminense is the biggest fucking villain of brazilian futchiball
>played la serie C >won it but bribed CBF to play directly la A instead of la B >Literally killed a beloved traditional team named Portuguesa in 2013 (look it up)
>>149633997 >won it but bribed CBF
If Fluminense had any money in the 90s, they'd probably spend it signing players to avoid relegation instead of bribing CBF. You know Fluminense didn't play la B because there was no such thing in 2000 thanks to the Gama-Botafogo affair, which Fluminense had no involvement in. Just like Fluminense wasn't one of the two clubs who lost points for playing suspended athletes.
You're not ignorant. You just choose to lie.

CBF wasnt able to organize the Brazilian League in the 2000 season because of some legal issues.
Because of that some of Brazil's biggest clubs decided to organize their own tournament to replace that year's Brasileirão, the Copa João Havelange, in which was decided that Fluminense would go straight to the first Série A, skipping B.
>>149646090
Corruption and bureaucracy.
Also, there was no such a thing as serie A or Serie B instead they put all the clubs of Brazil on different groups based on their qualifications. It was one of the funniest tournaments of the whole brazilian football.
One of the most stolen shits in the history of the Brazilian Championship.
congratulations for celebrating this.
but your team is very good off the field, like when they went up from Serie C to Serie A directly.
>>149634042 >You know Fluminense didn't play la B because there was no such thing in 2000 thanks to the Gama-Botafogo affair, which Fluminense had no involvement in.
I'm 33 and I still, to this day, don't know how that shit worked. By the way, I didn't like to watch futebol on the tv when I was a kid, after all. And barely played as a kid. I only started to like watching futebol on the tv in the 2006 world cup, watching the seleção brasileira, when I was 14. And I feel like many born in 1992 kids, like me, did equal.
>>149654985 >has we ever seen in the history of foty a more underpower underdog like fluminense in this CWC? its insane.
This is the first CWC, so, no. But we have every year, in the Intercontinental Cup (ic), shitty african, asian, and middle-eastern teams, so, there's plenty of weak underdogs that we are used to see in international tournaments, but they usually lose the tournament.
>>149655110
The unspoken truth is that the Brasileirão was an absolute shitfest of a competition prior to 2003. That's not to say the titles won prior to that were worth any less or something like that, but the state of organisation of the tournament was simply pathetic. The more you learn, the worse it gets. The rules changed every year in favour of even more nonsensical ones, and the league would break down every 7 years or so.
