They've been the main flagships of their own teams in this World Cup and no one will carry more pressure on their shoulders this Friday evening than Neymar and James Rodríguez. Brazil and Colombia will lock horns in Fortaleza to decide who goes through into the semi-finals and on the field, it might very well come down to who shines the most between these two prodigious players. It's also important to note ...

Brazil and Colombia will meet each other this Friday evening in Fortaleza and there's nothing that would please more the Brazilian fans than winning that game against one of their biggest South-American rivals and advancing into the World Cup semi-finals. However, it's no ordinary opponent that will stand in front of them at the Estádio Castelão, since Colombia comes into this match with a high dose of conf ...

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.

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 ...

During the usual and protocol National Anthems singing for both teams, the hosts received what can call a true adrenaline injection from the crowd.
