Teixeira again

Ricardo Teixeira was elected president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) for the fifth successive time Wednesday amid a battle of court orders.
Teixeira, standing for the "Five-times world champions" party, beat Carlos Alberto Oliveira by 46 votes to one with two abstentions.
His latest victory comes two years after a Congressional investigation accused him of tax evasion and described his administration as "negligent."
The result was briefly suspended when Itamar Vasconcelos, a member of Oliveira's opposition group,
won an injunction from a court in the city of the Belo Horizonte, which ruled the electoral college was too small.
But the CBF said Wednesday that it had won a court order of its own within four hours, overturning the injunction.
"Do you think that the CBF would organise an election, with the backing of all the clubs, knowing that the result could be overturned," said the CBF in a statement. "Of course not. Some people just want to appear."
The presidents of Brazil's 27 regional soccer federations and 22 of the country's biggest clubs voted, but critics claimed the second and third division clubs should also be allowed to take part.
Teixeira, who has been in charge of the CBF since 1989, described the election as totally democratic.
Brazil has won the 1994 and 2002 World Cups since Teixeira, a member of FIFA's executive committee, took over and they also reached the final in 1998. It now has an unequalled five World Cup wins to its credit.
The country is also set to host the 2014 World Cup after FIFA decided the tournament would be held in South America and the presidents of the continent's 10 national associations unanimously backed Brazil as their only candidate.
But Teixeira has also been involved in controversy.
In 2000, the Brazilian Congress began a two-pronged investigation into alleged corruption and mismanagement in Brazilian football with the CBF among its targets.
The Senate's investigation ended with a 1,600-word report, which
accused 16 leading club and federation directors -- including Teixeira -of tax evasion, fraudulent foreign exchange operations and illegally pocketing the funds of their federations or clubs.
Teixeira said the clubs had persuaded him to change his mind after he said last year that he would not stand again.
"They put pressure on me, I thought and I accepted," he said. "How many federations have managed to get to three (successive) World Cup finals."
Teixeira also guaranteed that under-fire national team coach Carlos Alberto Parreira would keep his job until the 2006 World Cup.
"I'm absolutely sure," he said. "I didn't choose him to take charge of two games, it's a project."
