The experienced Brazilian full-back Daniel Alves, was one of the 23 players picked Luiz Felipe Scolari to represent Brazil in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Unlike his fellow teammate in FC Barcelona Neymar Jr, this won't be the first time Daniel Alves stars in a tournament with such a big magnitude as a World Cup, since he has already played for the "Escrete" in 2010, during their WC campaign in South Africa. Da ...

We already knew that Neymar is in fact the most popular player in Brazil, but this week's study from a sports marketing agency called Repucom, has now shed us some light on who are most well-known footballers in the World. If it's true that indeed there's no one with a more marketable factor than Neymar in Brazil, the same can't exactly be said about the Brazilian star popularity status when the scope of th ...

As everyone is certainly aware by now, Brazil will be the host nation of the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament. The 5-time World champions were drawn with Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon in Group A and are already getting ready for the opening match against the Balkan side, on June 12. The 23-men squad list from Brazil was picked by Luiz Felipe Scolari on May 7 and it obviously features Neymar as the mai ...

When Barcelona announced their signing of Neymar in June of 2013, it didn't take too long for reports to start coming out about the club demanding the Brazilian star to add a few extra pounds to his weight. Judging from the transformation (or lack of it) we've seen him taking during his first season in Spain, it seems only fair to assume that the idea wasn't taken very seriously for now... Neymar, who is re ...

The Brazilian star has been out of the pitches for a few weeks now, but he might finally make his return next Saturday, as Barcelona hosts Atletico Madrid in the Camp Nou, for this season's last fixture in La Liga. Neymar's last appearance for Barça was in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, on April 17.

Now that we're only 2 fixtures away from closing another season in the Spanish League, Neymar has taken some time to talk with CNN reporters and address a few issues related to his first year experience in FC Barcelona. The 2014 FIFA World Cup is right around the corner and with Neymar being currently sidelined and still recovering from an injury that he picked up a few weeks ago, it's more than natural tha ...

Last night in Villarreal, Barcelona brought home not only the 3 points from a tough stadium, but also a moral victory against racism. The Catalan were losing by one goal as we were entering the last quarter of an hour of the game, when Daniel Alves approached one of the corner-kick flags to take a set piece for his team. The Brazilian right-back was about to take the corner-kick when he suddenly realized th ...
