  1. No Thiago and no Neymar is a big loss to Brazil. If they weren’t playing at home, you’d as good as put Germany in the final.

  2. We must now that lord doesn’t bless all who does bad act like the one happened to Brazil that’s why Colombia didn’t succeed and the one who traumatized this boy no any blessing to him people should learn fear of god

  3. It is a purposeful act well executed by zinga to keep neymar out of world cup.why did zinga jump so high while neymer was waiting on ground for the same ball ?
    Such foul players should be banned for minimum two years from FIFA tournaments & club footballs

  4. Marcelina… what kind of ridiculous talk is that? Injecting Religion in the matter?
    Thats as equal as saying Neymar deserves to be out for his past transgressions. Silly.

    or
    That Brazil deserves to lose next game because of their ugly tactics.

    The ref allowed this to happen and he should be to blame. Scolari directed his players to play dirty so… he is to blame as well.

    Payback is a bitch

  5. This injury, in my humble opinion, was caused by an aggressive act. There was no need to jump on Neymar’s back and knee him. There was intent. As for Marcelina’s comment about god and blessings, not everyone believes in gods, religion is the main cause of killing in this world and we’d be better off remembering that men invented deities for their own use and to subjugate others: my god is better than your god, if you don’t believe in him/her you’ll go to some horrible place after we kill you for not believing… nice… and no thanks. I’ll go on believing in respecting and helping other life forms and my planet without having to worry about some finger waving deity… A god would not let this planet die as it is doing today thanks to humans… who alone on Earth, believe in gods…

  6. Marcelina this had nothing to do with God. God shouldn’t be about fear, then hes just like the devil who you fear too. Its disgusting how religion is so focused around fear and enforcing it into other people. This injury was a freak accident in a fast paced sport with high levels of adrenaline. Stop preaching about fearing God, because i thought you would all say God is loving and forgiving so make up your mind and also do research that disproves Christianity and claims its a false religion you imbecile

  7. Isabelle, religion is not the main reason for killing in this world, greed and power are. Men may have invented dieties but that in no means suggest that there is no true God.

    The tackle was insane.

  8. Hw on earth would sme1 even include God on this meta.. people are crazy!!!! Football is a contact sport and at times they result in injuries. Neymar was injured in a football game,, dnt tel us about God Mr!.

  9. Hahaha, unbelievable how on a sport article I bump into religious talk. Is this guy who broke Neymar back going to be banned from any football competition? A mere innocent bite got poor Suarez out but this spine killer is going to enjoy the ball like nothing happened? Not fair! Greetings from Romania, everyone!

  10. Criminal Zuniga and cynical too. Anybody that plays soccer can see that he did it. He could finish Neymars career forever. Colombians play like that. I can say it. One broke my collarbone and other almost broke my ankle spent two months in crotches almost a year without play. Same guy got me again. Same foot. Just some ice and little limp for a day. You can play hard and that’s OK. Some people do it dirty. When you say that you did not want to do it, you’re dirty.

  11. I cant see any reason why the guy had to jump on Neymar’s back with his knee kicking into exactly the spinal area – its weird – i replayed this again and again – he had both his hands on Neymars shoulders and lifted himself up so that he could have his knee aligned – exactly to his spine – there should be a law suit from the brazilian side or Neymar – there was definite intent here – intent to harm – to paralyze and to get Naymar out – one way or another. This was not an accident – an accident would not involve so many coincidents – am sorry but there is a bigger picture to this and its worth investigating – maybe they received a bribe or some money from another team to do this to weaken the Brazilian side.

  12. Soccer is by far a floppy sport no body fakes injuries in American football. Even if he was injured all those flops in the past hehe. U ever here the story of the boy who cried wolf. Lmfao but I do wish a quick recovery for dude. Just my opinion … The boy who cried wolf

  13. I feel really bad for neymar. And as a soccer player I don’t want it happen to me or anybody. I think we should leave politics and religion out of football and set better rules and it all starts with the FIFA itself. I think FIFA need to grow up just like the rest of the world and stop emphasizing on becoming a champion and raising the cup. That is not what football or any sport is about. Remember these games are supposed to bring the nations together rather than separating them. I also believe FIFA needs to use playbacks as we are witnessing more dirty plays and a lot of acting, diving, biting, please stop this madness cause this is not WWF. The linesmen need to be trained better and be more involved in decision making . I believe the zinga acted in very stupid and disrespectful way and he needs to be reprimanded for his actions. A suspension maybe. I wish neymar a quick recovery. Peace and love to you all my friends.

  14. *** with all due to respect Bob – what did he come to header – the wind – the ball was no where in sight when he jumped onto Neymars back

    ** Not a fan – please dont compare apples with oranges – American football – they wear protection everywhere (smile) – in Soccer your open to injury everywhere.

  15. It is possible in the mind of a nincompoop to justify outright violent act. Most caring sports men understand the thrust of energy and pace in accountability, if not by own capacity then by the application of the rule. so whatever you want to say about Zooniga’s act it belongs to the jungle….!!

  16. And charles the Brazilians probably bought the refs…. 6 fouls on James!!! are u kidding me!!and no cards

  17. Those who think brazil is the dirties . . Don’ even realize that they have been brain washed by all the negative media intending to destroy Brazils reputation and spirit… Brazil did not .brake anybody’s back or anybody’s legs like robben the clown from the netherlands did. His fake diving skills are wellknown even since the 2010 world cup incident. Look it up before you swallow the bs from the media.
    Dont even get me started with germany’s dirty-tricks . But for starters brazil will do a simple tacktical foul that will not give you a skeletal frame disjunction…..
    Germany, on the other hand ; if you come with the ball , they let the ball get by…ok so far and then without chasing the ball they proceed to ram you ,(with no ball near in sight )with a shoulder and elbow hit as if you are breaking a door down after which they then complete the have turn to a full back turn and then raise their hands as if they’ve done nothing wrong. This type of totally illegal blow is ten times more devastating than a simple tactical foul from Brazil and has a meat grinding effect after repeated charges. Of course the fifa ref act like they saw nothing especially on world cup games . On other events ,where there is only a piece of metal alloyed Given and no big money given there is no ref controversy. Just look at the record for there is a reason for everything that happens ,especially . When you have such corruption coming from mr bratter and fifa. The man is crooked to the bone……….some will keep on drinking the kool-aid. And don’t even know it.(translation a totally artificial product………cheers to the other that are more selective………
