In the early 1940s, Corinthians and Palmeiras were the best teams in the state
In the early 1940s, Corinthians and Palmeiras were the best teams in the state. It was said that to know who would be champion of São Paulo, it would be enough to throw a coin in the air. If this guy, it would give Palmeiras. If it gave tails, it would give Palmeiras. And São Paulo? “Only if the coin lands on its feet”, joked the directors of the two rivals. In 1943, São Paulo was champion and the tricolors began to joke: the coin landed on its feet.
