So, about the clubs Cruzeiro and Atlético from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (MG) the mascots were given during the 40s. One can easily overlook how the rivals mascots can be set in the Greek dichotomy of Intelect (Fox) vs Force (Rooster). Also, that is a preying fight there. I think you treated their part too fast, especially compared to the clubs of Rio and São Paulo, so here more info: 7:19 Cruzeiro was given the Fox (Raposa) as a mascot (and therefore its nickname) by the cartoonist because its president was at the time clever and cunning as a fox. Cruzeiro also has two nicknames, "Zêro", the way "Zeiro" sounds in Minas Gerais accent, and Cabuloso, that means something/someone that imposes fear and dread on people. In everyday life, Cruzeiro fans use Cruzeiro and Cabuloso to refer to the club, while Fox is the visual representation and "Zêro" is more lyrical, used in chants for example. 6:52 Alt-MG* has its nickname "rooster" (galo) given by the cartoonist in 1945 because its president at the time he had a very combative manner, like a fighting cock (cockfighting is not a completely legal practice in Brazil "the spirit of the club". One can for sure say that "Rooster" is the name most of its supporters use when they refer to their team in day to day talks but also visually/imagetically and lyrically (in chants). * Eu sei que vocês atleticanos odeiam que escreva "Alt", porem como procurei ser super imparcial no resto da história, pois achei que o futebol mineiro merecia mais atenção como um todo. Porém, eu tinha que deixar meu clubismo respirar um pouco também né. Engolem o choro e fiquem de boa. Abs, os amo e odeio o seu clube (odeie o pecado, ame o pecador).

Very accurate. Timao has double meaning.

as brazilian I love the effort, nice video❤🇧🇷

Urubu é por causa de um jogo contra o botafogo, em que o flamengo estava perdendo e no intervalo pousaram alguns urubus no campo, ai no segundo tempo o flamengo virou o jogo e ganhou. Daí o urubu virou o mascote!

São Paulo's colors come from the colors of the teams that were united on its formation

The nine most successful teams, Vasco, Fluminense, and Botafogo

I dribble with left foot and shoot with right foot but are also able to shoot with left but i'm more dominant shooting with right foot

Very cool video. Just so you know... Clube Atlético Mineiro was named Galo because of its fighting ability and determination. This reason led to comparisons with the cockfights that existed at the time. One of the most notable players in the history of Galo was called Zé do Monte and had the habit of always entering with the team mascot under his arm.

Needs more Gerrard!

In Portuguese, the term "Timão" refers to the device used to steer a ship, which is known in English as "helm." The "timão" controls the rudder, and by adjusting it, the ship's course is changed. So, "Timão" is the Portuguese word for what is called the "helm" in English.

Strange that no one talk about this, but Timão is the Ship's wheel in portuguese. But mosty of Corintians fans forget about this XD

Coritiba is a big club here in the south of the country, but in recent years it has been oscillating between the first and second division. The team is known as "coxa" which means thigh, this is due to the fact that the club came from Germany, and there were many white people in the club and the fans of the rival team "athetico paranaese" were responsible for maliciously nicknamed the players, however the club embraced it as a nickname and is currently the biggest champion of Paraná with 39 titles , 2 series B and 1 series A (and also 2 runners-up in the Copa do Brasil) not to mention the club's great tradition, which has the largest fan base in the state of Paraná, and the Olympic-shaped stadium, unlike many other trendy arenas. Even though it is in the second division of the Brazilian championship, Coritiba will host Brazilian national team games because of the high level of the "Couto Pereira" stadium. Since 1909, bringing strength, determination and tradition even though it is currently an average team, but with a lot of history. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💚💚💚

It was a good presentation of the twelve greats, but I found the part that refers to GREMIO to be very short! The club that won the 1983 World Cup, three times the American Cup and that, among other stars, trained and launched Ronaldinho Gaúcho. One hundred and twenty-one years of history, always among the top teams in the rankings. All this, based in a medium-sized city far from the largest economic centers in Brazil.

Foi uma boa apresentação dos doze grandes, mas achei muito curta a parte que se refere ao GREMIO! O clube campeão mundial de 1983, três vezes campeão da América e que, entre outros craques, formou e lançou o Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Cento e vinte e um anos de história, sempre entre os primeiro do ranking. Isso tudo, sediado numa cidade de porte médio e longe dos maiores centros econômicos do Brasil.

Unforgettable! 💙🖤🤍

This video is very good

"Timão" is a helm of a ship

Since Brazil's history, we have received many emigrants from Europe, many of them founders of clubs such as Germans from Curitiba and Italians from Palmeiras and Cruzeiro. like the Portuguese from Vasco Gama and the Portuguese, in Argentina the same thing happened club Boca Junior has roots from Sweden

Corinthians- Eu estou right wing

Cruzeiro's "FOX"nickname came by the clever way it's directors played their cards. Aways finding great player deals witch brought championships to the club. With that, came fans, recongition and respect from the whole coutry! Cruzeiro is from Minas Gerais, witch at the time was completely outside the "media axis" at the time, and was the first to break that barrier with a 6x2 against the Peles's Santos FC. CRUZEIRO ESPORTE CLUBE!

Some more São Paulo nicknames for you: Soberano: translated to "Sovereign", after being the best team in Brazil for some time (around 2003 to 2008, maybe), the media and their own fans started to call the team like this. Jason: the iconic slasher terror character was an nickname for São Paulo for some time, when people thought São Paulo was not a threat anymore or dead, they usually bounced back, hence the nickname (Grêmio also has an nickname like this, but their fans call them "Imortal")

Interesting fact about me, my father is a Corinthians fan and I support Palmeiras. I started supporting them because I loved watching Paulo Nunes playing for us and wearing that nice pig mask…

I’m disappointed mate, you don’t feel attached to palmeiras hahaha. We are not a Brazilian man united hahaha. We would be the more similar to Liverpool. Maybe that can change your mind.

7:06 what's clinical mean?

Cadê o Íbis e o Tabajara?

Henrique is polishing his English… I like that.

vai corinthians

Timão is not "large team" it's the portuguese name for ship helm

it is a shame that Corinthians supporters won't be able to understand the video... They barely know Portuguese, imagine English 😂 Btw they are aslo known as Opossum (Gambá in Portuguese)... They are black & white and stinks. Like their supporters

Oh, the Big 12, the absolute trash group that ruined brazilian football. As a Remo supporter I despise almost all of them. They are psrtially responsible for my team currently being in the 3rd tier. Fluminense got itself promoted from the 3rd to the 1st tier while canceling our promotion to Série A just because yes, and both CBF and the 13 Club battled against Remo in the justice to avoid us from playing Série A in 2001

Most nicknames mentioned are actually the team's mascots. I believe only Atlético Mineiro is called "Galo" (rooster). Maaaybe some fans call Santos "peixe", but not to the same degree.

Cruzeiro's was nickname "the fox" prior to the cartoonist story. In fact, the team was nicknamed by a journalist, who said that the club's president was "smart as a fox" for the way he acted in the transfer market at the time. The cartoonist just depicted the nee mascot.

Explicação ridícula sobre o Vasco pqp, conhece nada

Corinthians is the biggest team in continent

Sao paulo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

The biggest Brazilian tem Atlético Mineiro was a short take. Should be the biggest

Oh full house this time… that’s boss. Why only 10m mate?

StreamYard did not ‘go live’ because of ‘high traffic’ so this is only the last 10 minutes of the livestream 😭

rafael floro lindo amo de paixao!

yo my english teacher

Cruzeiro also was called Palestra Itália once

Nenhum clube brasileiro é maior que o São Paulo... nenhum!!! ❤️🖤🤍

I can see by Gerrard face that you don´t care! If São Paulo played Premier League he would have won more then 10 times. There are only 3 Teams in England, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man. Unit. If Liverpool can´t win even the Premier League how could he think he would be the best of the World? To be the best of a country is easy, I want to see to win from the hole World. It´s not that you don´t care, is that you´re not able to win and is easier to disqualify then to recognize.

Disgraceful work. Starting with Fluminense, its history is completely wrong and empty. Study, research, don't spread false and clubby information

The explanation for Fluminense is wrong

You overlooked the way São Paulo decided their colours. Your explanations isn’t wrong on the São Paulo state flag, but the team became what it is by combining two teams: athletic and another Associação das Palmeiras. One of the teams was red and white and the other was black and white. Thus, their colours and the disposition on the shirt.

Thanks so much for this vídeo!

Leo predicted Botafogo too well!

Thank you for trying to enlighten people about the real Etymology of the word "Soccer". As you have probably attested, many people think the word Soccer is a plot from US sports fans to torture the followers of the "beautiful game".
