Neymar

Yes so it seems - it was a bad tackle - if you want to stop yourself from running into someone you put both hands out, not your knee - looked deliberate to me - needs watching again. I have not seen much Neymar before this tournament, he looked good in the first few games but has not really figured in the last two - I don't think he would have been top scorer but he is a definite loss to Brazil - think he is wasted taking corners, shouldn't you have your star man in the box from corners, surely anyone can kick a corner into the box.

blame the ref, he let both sides get away with murder, esp Brazil in the first half. Scolari has no room to talk about bad challenges.

Yes there is a lot of condemnation for Brazils tactics on the ITV web site - saying how Brazil are winning from moments (set pieces, corners, free kicks) rather than the expected flowing football. They have not impressed as I was hoping - the speed of football when it happened was great to watch but the game was littered with fouls every couple of minutes - Brazil were committed to breaking any flow Colombia developed and vice versa.

Brail - live by the sword, die by the sword.

The question is why din't the Ref card some of those earlier professional fouls? Was he under pressure to keep 11 Brazilians on the pitch?

Neymar has been crap in the last 2 games.

whilst it is a blow, they still have home advantage and favourable refs.

deliberate/tactical foul = yellow card, its not rocket science the ref let things go and it turned into a free for all

bad challenge.that.
Fck knows how Fernandino didn't
get a yellow at least.

I think its probably brazils own fault that neymar suffered that challenge as Colombia just got a bit of retribution, if brazil hadn't played like a bunch of thugs then this may not of  happened.i think brazil are as vile as uraguay now

i agree
it was a roughly played game
with brazil dishing it out
pretty ferociously

it back fired
