The former Brazilian midfielder and National Team coach, Dunga, has recently given voice to his thoughts about the World Cup in public. As expected, the 50-year old manager analyzed what the Brazilian Team has done so far and focused in his country's star player of the moment, Neymar Jr. According to him, the only reason for Neymar to not have shined in Barcelona as much as he do when he plays for Brazil, i ...

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.

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.
