    I betted on them in their semi final last week. Biggest night in their history probably, getting to the Sudamerica final. So tragic that this has happened just days after a historic night and just before what should have been another one

    Bloke on CNN saying 2 of the 5 survivors were members of the team.

    Classy reaction from some of the big Brazilian clubs on their twitter accounts.

    This is so heartbreaking. I feel so bad for these people's families and hopefully their community will rally around the club in this tragic time. As someone who went to school at a university that lost all their American Football players this just sucks.

    This is just horrific :frown: RIP:shamrock:

    Was to be Chapecoense's biggest ever game but sadly the team will be no more. They had a very good season in the league as well, finishing in the top half and qualifying for the Sudamericana again next year. They are also famous in Brazil for never being relegated from the top division.

    Atlético Nacional have asked for the Sudamericana to be awarded to Chapecó. Almost certain to happen and the Brazilian league to finish early.

    * *, you have to feel for the families in circumstances like this. It's never nice when something like this happens.

    Apparently the Argentine national team were on the plane that crashed a few weeks ago.

    The keeper Danilo who initially survived has now died.
