It's too bad seeing this great player go down. Brazil vs Germany is going to be a really competitive game now that they've lost Neymar!
AP On Friday, Neymar’s World Cup came to a sickening end. An 88th minute challenge from Colombia’s Juan Camilo Zúñiga left the Brazilian stretched flat on the pitch, unable to move. The stretcher came and Neymar was carried away, leaving Brazil to ultimately secure their 2-1 victory.
Later that night came the news: Brazil might be headed for the semi-final, but Neymar wouldn’t be with them. The foul had fractured one of his vertebrae, ruling him out for four to six weeks.
But initially, Neymar and his teammates feared it to be much, much worse.
I watched this match and remembered the foul. Often these players over dramatise their fouls but this player look seriously in pain..and it was justified, that was some knock to his spine!

Yeah it's unfortunate. Neymar isn't even one of those guys that fake their injuries!
