Brazil continues preparing their FIFA World Cup campaign this summer and Neymar seems to keep reinventing himself on the pitch. This Sunday, the FC Barcelona star tried out a new way to convert a penalty-kick and it apparently worked out quite well! Neymar tricked the goalkeeper by leading him to think he was going to shoot with his strong foot (the right one), but he ended up striking the ball with the tip ...

Everyone in Brazil seems to be confident that Neymar will be claiming the spotlight over this summer's FIFA World Cup. Short time after FC Barcelona's right-back Daniel Alves stated that his club teammate will show how special he is in the upcoming major tournament, it was now time for PSG's centre back Thiago Silva to show his support to the 22-year old forward. Thiago Silva: "This team's main strengths ha ...

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. He then suffered an injury on the fourth metatarsal of his left foot and was said to be out of t ...

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 ...
