The Brazilian Football Confederation(CBF) will this Friday appeal to Conmebol to lift the one-match suspension due to Neymar's red card during the Copa América and will also assure that the linesman provoked the player by calling him a"diver".The director of thee CBF's legal department, Carlos Eugenio Lopez, told the Globoesporte sports website that the Chilean linesman, Carlos Astroza, tried to wind Neymar up during the game against Colombia by repeatedly calling him a "diver". Moreover, the Brazilians will try to show that Neymar thought that the game hadn't ended when he kicked the ball at Armero,the action that sparked off all the pushing and shoving between the two teams which led to Neymar and Bacca being shown red cards.

Laporta: "I love Messi. He is like my son. He makes Barca win and he knows how to humiliate teams. You know, THAT team!"

@emboldened, Neymar humiliates players, while Messi humiliates teams. Yet, na Neymar them dey accuse.

Lol

Like seriously? the linesman did that? No wonder Alves was complaining that they all hate Brazil!
This Conmebol people are just stupid! they gave Neymar a 4 match ban!
From what I saw in the highlight I watched, the shot did not look intentional! Neymar was already in motion to kick the ball before the ref blew the whistle! They said he wanted to headbutt someone, but I didn't see it in the video!
This South American refs should be ashamed of themselves, why are they allowing the games to be so physical? is it war they are fighting?

Later on, peeps will say the boy is not being targeted. Tell me they are not hating on him! If South-American refs can act this stupid, how much more the much biased European refs (that is to other continent), what then would they do?

If the CBF's legal team succeeds in the appeal, Neymar's suspension would, at best, be reduced. His attempted head butt could be a 2-match ban. The winding up of Neymar by the Assistant referee can't be an excuse for an attempted head butt.

I guess probably the date was already set before he knew they had the same date.

In all, there were 8 player weddings on Saturday.

Rakitic
Pedrito
Calejon
Llorente
Varane
Keylor Navas and some 2 others.

Piqué attended Llorente's wedding.

Which players do you think should be the three midfielders behind the untouchable 'MSN' if we sign Pogba and Gundogan. List of our Midfielders would be: Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic, Rafinha, Sergi Roberto, Pogba, Gundogan and Denis Suarez if he is recalled from Sevilla this summer.

Haa! Wetin be this? 8 players!

This is supposed to be making headlines on all football sitess!

Varane don marry? Is he even up to 24? Well he is better than his fellow footballers that started having children even before they reached 20 years!

I don't really see us buying Pogba now, but if he stays at Juvie for next season, then I'm 80% sure we'll buy him!

If he comes now, he'll surely be a starter(because a club can't spend close to £80million on a player just to be a bench warmer)!
Only one spot will be left!

It will be better if we just buy Gundogan alone, He won’t complain if he is benched because ermmmmm he is not really a big name!

Some records to be reached in the nearest future by Messi. [img]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CH__uFzVEAAuPhh.png:small[/img]

we don't want Sergio Ramos. He's a red card waiting to happen. He's a thug. There are other defenders in Europe.

Neymar will leave Brazil's training camp today. It has been decided during a meeting with the coaching staff last evening.

My guy go dey rest abeg. Flex wella. E no easy to win treble.





@homesteady, look at what Alba said. Exactly, what we were saying.

Jordi Alba on Colombia's several provocations towards Neymar: "It's very clear that he's one of those players people look to wind up."

Jordi Alba: "I'd lose my rag quicker than Neymar, that's for sure. Neymar is really patient. He already puts up with a lot."

Jordi Alba: "Neymar plays the type of football that everyone wishes they could, but can't, starting with me."

Presidential candidate Laporta announces that Eric Abidal (35) will become Barcelona's new sports director if he's elected next month.



What do you guys think about the above? Personally, I am not in support of this. With all due respect to Abi, the Sport Director position is a very sensitive one that requires expertise. He can take up any other post, not the SD. What happens to Monchi? Why not prise him away from Sevilla?

Who is Monchi ... with talks going round about Barca willing to bid a 100million for Pogba I say Abidal is what we need.

Excerpts for Laporta's presser

Laporta: "We want UNICEF back in the front of the Barça shirt."

Laporta: "We are Unicef, they are Qatar."

Laporta: " La Masia gave us big stars. We want to lay down the groundwork for it again."

Laporta: " Luis Enrique follows the philosophy of Rijkaard and Pep and it is critical to be thankful for the future."

Laporta: "Luis Enrique has brought back the philosophy of Johan Cruyff. Of course Luis Enrique should continue at Barça"

Laporta: "A big mistake was to let go of Cruyff as HP. It cost a lot to convince him. I don't know if he wants it again. I'll talk to him."
