Anyone watching the Copa América on Thursday night saw Neymar absolutely toy with Peruvian defenders. With Brazil up a couple of goals, Neymar was just fooling around having fun before he was scythed down. But the Alexander Isak run vs Slovakia made Neymar’s skills look like child’s play, as the 21-year-old Swede diced half of Slovakia’s defense before ripping a shot that nearly opened the scoring on Friday.
Brazil continued its red-hot form Thursday night with a 4-0 victory against Peru in the team’s second Copa América fixture. Before showing the goals, you must see these silky Neymar skill moves vs Peru. Neymar was just toying with Peru’s best defenders because he can.

El 18 de junio de 2016 es un día que el fútbol mexicano desea que nunca hubiera existido. Esa noche, en el Levi’s Stadium, el Tri fue goleado 0-7 por un Chile inmisericorde, en los cuartos de final de la Copa América Centenario y enfrente de más de 70 mil atónitos aficionados en las tribunas.
Denmark, playing with all the verve and commitment that comes with paying tribute to a fallen talisman, played just about the perfect first half against No. 1-ranked Belgium on Thursday. Then Roberto Martínez pulled out his trump card and it became apparent why Belgium is ranked as the best team in the world.
El Parken Stadium de Copenhague hoy fue una gran olla de emociones. Dinamarca volvió a salir a un campo de juego tras el desgarrador paro cardíaco que afectó a Christian Eriksen, el sábado 12 de junio, para enfrentar a Bélgica, y casi toda la energía que brotaba en las tribunas fue para rendir tributo al futbolista, que hoy se recupera en el Rigshospitalet de la capital danesa.
BUCHAREST — Andriy Yarmolenko grabbed a goal and an assist as Ukraine beat North Macedonia 2-1 on Thursday to boost their chances of reaching the European Championship knockout stages and leave their opponents' hopes hanging by a thread.
Yarmolenko put Ukraine ahead from a corner in the 29th minute, popping up at the back post to beat Stole Dimitrievski with a side-footed finish after latching on to Oleksandr Karavaev's flick.
The USWNT brought in 20,500 fans for the grand opening of Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, and defeated Nigeria 2-0 in the final game of the Summer Series. Christen Press will go down in history as the first player to score a goal in Q2 Stadium history.
In stoppage time of the first half Carli Lloyd found Press with a quick-thinking pass which the American winger curled in for her 61st international goal.
On the mark
Italy favorites to win Euro 2020? I’d argue for Gli Azzurri. Italy picked up its second victory in Group A and secured a spot in the knockout stages after comfortably defeating Switzerland 3-0.
It was an unexpected hero who bagged a brace for Italy as Manuel Locatelli got the double to secure the three points. The Sassuolo midfielder had never scored a brace for club or country before Wednesday.
Juega poco, pero cada vez que lo hace, Gareth Bale demuestra que es un talento excepcional. El "11" de Gales hoy, por ejemplo, fue vital en la victoria por 2-0 de los Dragones sobre Turquía, en el Grupo A de la Euro 2020.
Su performance fue casi perfecta, en gran parte a las dos asistencias que registró. ¿Qué le faltó? No errar de manera tan catastrófica el penal que tuvo en sus pies.
¡¡La falló!! ⚽️
Wales is closing in on a second-consecutive trip to the Euro knockout stages after defeating Turkey 2-0 on Wednesday. The margin of victory could have been larger for the Dragons if not for squandered chances and an unreal Gareth Bale penalty miss.
In the middle of the second half Gareth Bale was taken down just inside the penalty box. The Welsh legend stepped up to take the kick and did the unthinkable. He skied it.
