Victor Lessa stated that, in a meeting last Wednesday, the CBF acknowledged what he considered biased refereeing and serious errors by Rafael Klein and VAR Daniel Nobre Bins. According to the journalist, the refereeing committee assessed that Pulgar should have been expelled for rough and violent play, and that Alex Sandro committed a penalty on Savarino, although it considered the VAR's decision to respect the on-field call in that incident to be correct. The committee, Lessa added, understood that there was no penalty by Leo Ortiz on Castillo. Lessa said that Fluminense demanded punishment for the referee, but that the CBF had already assigned him for the weekend, as it schedules appointments more than one round in advance. He questioned whether Klein could still be punished afterward. He also stated that he agreed the VAR should not intervene in interpretative plays when the referee had a clear view, but criticized the lack of criteria, saying that those responsible decided when to intervene. In Lessa's opinion, there was a clear foul by Leo Ortiz on Castillo, at least for dangerous play, and the incident should have been called as a foul even outside the area. #CBF #Arbitragem #Futebol (translated)

According to the publication, the club pointed out the red card issued to Andrés Gómez and controversial decisions in Boca's previous matches in the Sudamericana. Maza, a Chilean referee, had officiated three Boca home games against Recoleta, São Paulo, and Vasco, in consecutive knockout stages. According to Vasco, there were controversies in all three matches: against Recoleta, Maza allegedly allowed Boca to take the kickoff at the beginning of both halves; against São Paulo, a red card deemed incorrect was overturned by VAR; and against Vasco, the club questioned the lack of appropriate punishment for a tackle on Andrés Gómez in the first half. The team also demanded that the refereeing of the return game be impartial. #Vasco #Arbitragem #CopaSulAmericana (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that Lula defended, in an interview with Globo, reducing the age of criminal responsibility for heinous crimes. Constantino classified the position as an electoral shift, which he attributed to pressure from Flávio and polls, and stated that the PT has always opposed the reduction, advocating for socio-educational measures and downplaying the responsibility of adolescents who commit crimes. According to Constantino, ten days before the election, the candidate changed his rhetoric to avoid being cornered. He also claimed that the majority of society supported the punishment of minors for heinous crimes and that the government only acknowledged this position because it was losing. Regarding the interview, he said it revealed a dissonance with the government's base and an attempt by Lula to present himself as renewed after years of mismanagement. #Lula #Eleições2023 #Criminalidade (translated)

Janoninho stated that the inspection area of the Court, identified as AEED/TSE, did not find recent false publications on the channel on the analyzed dates. He said that, instead of acting against a specific publication, the measure silenced the entire channel and, in practice, constituted prior censorship, in addition to violating the rights of assembly and free expression provided for in Article 5, sections IV and IX, of the Constitution. The author also considered the measure disproportionate because it interrupted, on the eve of the election, the communication of millions of activists due to a bureaucratic registration issue. According to him, this harmed the equality of conditions in the democratic debate. #EXÉRCITODOLULACONTRACENSURA #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Censura #Democracia (translated)

Flamengo stated that the officiating by Anderson Daronco and the VAR official, Rodolpho Toski Marques, had serious errors and inconsistent criteria in the match against Santos. The club said that Barreal should have been sent off for a tackle on Carrascal but only received a yellow card. Flamengo also challenged the penalty decision and the expulsion of Jorginho after a handball. According to the club, the incident caused a stoppage of 9 minutes and 56 seconds, a record interruption in a VAR review in the history of the Brasileirão. The team stated that the decision left them a player short and removed Jorginho from the next match. A few minutes later, according to Flamengo, another penalty was awarded to Santos after a foul that should not have occurred, resulting in the second goal for the São Paulo team from the penalty kick. The club also mentioned the numbers of the championship: in 29 matches, they had received seven red cards, the second-highest total in the competition, despite being in 17th place in the foul ranking and leading in average ball-in-play time. Flamengo claimed to be one of the three teams that committed the fewest fouls yet still the second most expelled. The statement also noted that Daronco and Toski were scheduled for the classic between Palmeiras and Corinthians on Sunday and requested that the rules be applied with rigor and impartiality. The club added that they were among the five finalists for the Best Men's Club of the Year award at the Ballon d'Or and stated that officiating errors harmed the results and the image of Brazilian football. #Arbitragem #Futebol #Brasileirão (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Partial numbers of the lives (up to this moment). Flávio Bolsonaro gathered the entire bolsonarista base and had approximately 40 people, so he pulled audience from other candidates: 3.4 million views Lula was alone on Flow: 9.3 million views. I will update again tomorrow night. No live seems to have used bots, as there are no indications of punishment from YouTube removing views. #Lives #Audiência #Política (translated)

IMAGINE IF IT WERE JAIR BOLSONARO OR FLÁVIO using the Palace for an electoral interview on the eve of the vote. What would the reaction be? How many requests for punishment would already be on the table? Lula is not above the law. The Palace belongs to the Brazilian people, not to his campaign! The TSE needs to promptly investigate the scenario, the structure used, and who paid for the broadcast. If irregularities are proven, punishment needs to be enforced. Electoral Justice must protect equality among candidates. The rigor cannot change according to the name or the party. TWO WEIGHTS AND TWO MEASURES ARE NOT JUSTICE! #JustiçaEleitoral #Lula #Eleições2022 (translated)

At 16 years old you can already vote, so why can’t you also be held accountable for crimes? That’s what Flávio and I are going to resolve: reduce the age of criminal responsibility to 16 years. If you commit a crime, you will be held accountable as an adult. And those over 14 years old will also face harsher penalties. https://t.co/tJmdsb6xUU #MaioridadePenal #Voto #Justiça (translated)

⚠️ The Premier League claims that Manchester City "cooked" over R$ 6 billion to bypass Financial Fair Play. The English club was found guilty of 115 accusations of financial irregularities investigated since 2018. According to the league, City used sham contracts, presented incorrect financial data, concealed its real situation from auditors and regulators, exceeded spending limits of the Premier League and UEFA, and did not cooperate in good faith with investigations. City allegedly used simulated agreements with the Abu Dhabi United Group, the club's owner, and Fordham, a company financed by the group, to artificially inflate revenues and reduce costs by £900 million (R$ 6.2 billion). The club has until Friday to appeal, declared itself innocent, and claimed to have "irrefutable evidence." A new hearing will determine the punishment, which may include fines, point deductions, and other sporting measures. The Premier League intends to complete the process as quickly as possible. #PremierLeague #ManchesterCity #FairPlayFinanceiro (translated)
