Neymar on Target to Break Pele’s Brazil Record with 4-Goal Haul vs. Japan

In scoring four goals against Japan in Singapore on Tuesday evening, Neymar hit the 40-goal mark for his country in just 58 astonishing appearances. Of all opponents, Japan appear to be a favourite of the Barcelona star, as he has scored against the Samurai Blue seven times across three games. However, they are far from alone in suffering at Neymar‘s clinical feet. Neymar not only hit a... 

Brazil’s Repeated Haranguing of Referee Takes Gloss off Argentina Win

On the surface of things, Brazil can be reasonably content with their national football team once more this Saturday evening, having beaten arch-rivals Argentina 2-0 in a smoggy Beijing. However, the Selecao‘s success in the Far East was not as glorious as one might have imagined, coming just months after a major low in the form of their shocking World Cup exit to Germany. This was a game greatly... 

PSG Star Lucas Moura Deserves Shot at Brazil Recall

Paris Saint-Germain have endured a miserable start to the new league season by their own high standards, having won just three of nine Ligue 1 games to date. Marseille have extended a seven-point lead at the top of the division, and Laurent Blanc’s position as manager is becoming increasingly untenable. However, that is not to say that all within the PSG ranks are not performing. Centre-backs... 

What Andy Murray Must Improve to Contend with Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray‘s campaign to reach the ATP Tour Finals at the O2 Arena has taken a major step forward over the past fortnight, with the Scot sealing success at the Shenzhen Open before this week bowing out in the semifinals of the China Open in Beijing. Murray overcame U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic 6-1 6-4 on Friday to set up the encounter with Djokovic, playing one of his best matches of what... 

10 Burning Questons for Brazil Manager Dunga

Brazil will head to the Far East in the coming fortnight for fixtures with traditional rivals Argentina in Beijing and Japan in Singapore. For new manager Dunga, the two fixtures represent further tests of his new setup. After a successful start, overcoming both Ecuador and Colombia 1-0 in USA earlier this month, the 1994 World Cup-winning captain will be keen to continue building momentum ahead of... 

Why Brazil Friendlies Threaten Cruzeiro’s Title Challenge

A week is a long time in football. Having survived the loss of four key players to international duty with minimal damage, Cruzeiro‘s 2-0 defeat to Sao Paulo last weekend appeared to throw the Brasileirao title race wide open once more. With their long-standing lead cut to just four points, doubts began to emerge over A Raposa’s ability to retain the league title which they won with such... 

The Standout Stars in Dunga’s New-Look Brazil Team

Two games, two wins, two goals and two clean sheets. The story of Dunga’s second spell as Brazil coach is thus far a simple one, with successes over both Colombia and Ecuador in the United States steadying a ship that had been badly listing. New captain Neymar has lead the way for his side, playing a direct role in both strikes that have sealed success thus far, showing little sign of the pressure... 

Dunga’s Brazil Win Again vs. Ecuador but Patience Is Required

Dunga’s new Brazil era continued its steady start against Ecuador, with a second 1-0 victory over South American opponents in the space of just a few days, a much needed tonic after the pain of World Cup exit. Once again it was a moment of inspiration from the feet of Neymar that helped secure victory, this time providing a deft flicked assist over the defence for Willian to slot home. In truth,... 

Captain Neymar’s Magic Can’t Hide Task at Hand for Brazil Coach Dunga

Brazil beat Colombia 1-0 in the Sun Life Stadium in Miami on Friday night, with new captain Neymar the difference between the sides in a typically tempestuous all South American clash. It was this same fixture that ended Neymar‘s World Cup campaign through injury in July, and while both he and aggressor Juan Camilo Zuniga appeared to bear no animosity for those events, it hadn’t softened... 

Can Resurgent Ganso Play Important Role in Brazil Future?

The rise and fall of Ganso had been one of the most intriguing storylines in Brazilian football over the past few years. An elegant No. 10 of undoubted technical quality, his dramatic loss of form and subsequent sale from Santos to Sao Paulo came as a major shock given his early rapid rise to the top of the domestic game. For so long it had been a case of Neymar and Ganso as a double act, with the...
