We've seen it against Chile a few days ago and we've been seeing it pretty much in every game that Neymar plays at. Every time the Brazilian star takes center stage either for FC Barcelona or the Brazilian National Team, their opponents' main concern seems to be intimidating him as soon as possible through violent tackles and dirty fouls. With the World Cup quarter-finals clash against Colombia scheduled fo ...

Brazil has successfully gone through the group stages by clinching the first place in Group A, after earning a total of 7 points out of the 3 games they've played. The hosts' main player was, as expected, Neymar Jr, who already scored 4 goals in this World Cup and has been carrying the team on his shoulders. Earlier today, the new came out that the Barcelona player will try out a new pair of Nike boots in t ...

Brazil are just one step away from advancing into the last-16 stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, as they go into the final fixture of Group A sitting in first place with the same points as Mexico, one more than Croatia and 4 more than the Cameroon. Only two teams will advance to the knockout rounds and even though Brazil isn't qualified yet, the main scenario where the "Escrete" would be left out of the last ...

As surprising as it may sound to most of us, Neymar was the player selling more World Cup jerseys in the 4 days prior to the tournament's kickoff, as well as in the 4 days that followed it. The results were announced by Forbes earlier this week and they concern merchandising sales only within the United States. In great part thanks to the contribution of Neymar, Brazil had therefore the most sold World Cup ...

As Italy prepares to take again center stage this Friday evening in order to face Costa Rica, the team's "bad boy" Mario Balotelli stated that he doesn't want to get the spotlight that other football stars like Neymar or Lionel Messi get these days. In a quick speech that may surprise most of us for the level of humility shown through his words, the AC Milan forward noted that all that matters is the group ...

Regarded by many as the best football player of all-time, Diego Armando Maradona has been watching this year's FIFA World Cup very closely just like any other football fan out there does. In an interview granted to the newspaper "Times of India", the Argentina legend spoke about Brazil's chances of wining this World Cup that is being hosted in their own country, and commented on how much he thinks they are ...

The 2014 FIFA World Cup completes its first week tomorrow and we couldn't have asked for a better game than a decisive Uruguay vs England tie. The two teams are coming out from losses in their opening matches against Costa Rica and Italy and any other result than a win will probably send them back home and out of this World Cup in Brazil. While Uruguay was inflicted a painful defeat at the hands of a surpri ...

Yesterday's game between Brazil and Mexico brought us a quite priceless moment in the moments ahead of its kickoff. During the usual and protocol National Anthems singing for both teams, the hosts received what can call a true adrenaline injection from the crowd. Not every nation has the fortune to have an anthem that allows them to get emotional, but that's surely not the case with Brazil. Moreover, hostin ...
