Portuguese lyrics 1. Ouviram do Ipiranga às margens plácidas De um povo heróico o brado retumbante, E o sol da liberdade, em raios fúlgidos, Brilhou no céu da Pátria nesse instante, Se o penhor dessa igualdade Conseguimos conquistar com braço forte, Em teu seio, ó, Liberdade, Desafia o nosso peito a própria morte! Ó Pátria amada, Idolatrada, Salve! Salve! Brasil, um sonho intenso, um raio vívido, De amor e de esperança à terra desce, Se em teu formoso céu, risonho e límpido, A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece. Gigante pela própria natureza, és belo, és forte, impávido colosso, E o teu futuro espelha essa grandeza, CHORUS: Terra adorada, Entre outras mil, és tu, Brasil, Ó Pátria amada! Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil, Pátria amada, Brasil! 2. Deitado eternamente em berço esplêndido, ao som do mar e à luz do céu profundo, Fulguras, ó Brasil, florão da América, Iluminado ao sol do novo mundo! Do que a terra mais garrida Teus risonhos lindos campos tem mais flores, “Nossos bosques tem mais vida” “Nossa vida” no teu seio “mais amores” Ó Pátria amada, Idolatrada, Salve! Salve! Brasil, de amor eterno seja símbolo O lábaro que ostentas estrelado, E diga o verde-louro dessa flâmula “Paz no futuro e glória no passado.” Mas se ergues da justiça a clava forte, Verás que um filho teu não foge à luta, Nem teme, quem te adora, a própria morte, Chorus English translation 1. The Ypiranga’s placid banks heard The resounding shouting of a heroic people. And the sun of freedom, in bright rays, Shone at this moment in the homeland’s skies. As the promise of this equality Was secured by our strong arms, In your bosom, O Freedom, We are ready to die. O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail! Brazil, a vivid dream, a lively ray Of love and hope settles on the earth, As in your beautiful sky, smiling and limpid, The image of the Southern Cross shines resplendent. A giant by nature, you are beautiful, Strong, an intrepid colossus, And your future mirrors this grandeur. CHORUS: O land we adore, among a thousand others You are the beloved one. You are the gentle mother of the sons of this land, Beloved homeland, Brazil! 2. Eternally laid in a splendid cradle, To the sound of the sea and the light from the depths of the sky, Brazil, you gleam, fleuron of the Americas, Illuminated by the sun of the New World. Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers Than the most attractive land elsewhere, Our forests have more life, Our life in your bosom more love. O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail! Brazil, may you have as eternal symbol The starry banner you display, And may the green laurel of this pennant speak Of peace in the future and glory in the past. But if you raise a strong cudgel in the name of justice, You will see that a son of yours does not run from a fight, Nor does one who adores you fear death. Chorus

Recent results

Newest first, from Brazil's own point of view. Home and away are as the record stores them; a fixture the record does not mark neutral is listed as one side's home, which is right for a league round and wrong for a final played at a third ground.

Box is the middle half of the ranked field, line is the median, dot is Brazil. The scale is this domain's own and does not compare across the two.

Most similar teams
Teams with too few matches to rate confidently, which are most of the outliers.

Teams that play alike sit close together. The two axes hold 72% of the variation between teams. Component 1 (42%) rises with more average margin and win rate. Component 2 (30%) rises with more high-scoring matches and margin swing.

28 of 66 teams sit too close together to name without covering another team's point, so they are drawn unlabelled. Every dot is still a link to that team, and hovering one names it.
