Tough choice. From what I can see, Fla-Flu are both doing well in Rio,
Santos is way ahead in the Paulista and Palmeiras is struggling. But,
I have no idea who the 4th team in group A is apart from the fact
that they are from Fortaleza and that they were the last promoted
team. They could easily come 20th in the Brasilerao this year.

I'll pick E. Even though it looks weaker, it is a bit more balanced.

Agreed. I have picked E. The top of group A is stronger, but I think E
is more balanced.

Great! There is only one pool left, and it has both the defending
champions and the sensation team of this year in Brazil! Of course, it
also has a struggling Goiás and long absent Ceará, but we had to keep
things balanced.

Tchau!

Great. So I retain Vitoria, the team that I liked much last year! :)

To all our opponents:

By now it's been agreed:
I play with Sid,
we share, no greed.
You don't have to read,
there is no need,
you already know that we'll take the lead
with so much speed
that we'll make you bleed.
But then we'll smoke _a bit of_ weed [1]
(sometimes you have to exceed!)
and we'll concede
you some points, and you'll precede
us, but we'll recede
from smoking, proceed...
....and succeed.
Indeed!

[1] that today is just a seed

You surely waste no time, sir. Bring it on! =)
