Brazil vs. Argentina Is The Most Important Matchup Of The Week

There is so much hype going into the Brazil versus Argentina match that it is tough to even decide where to begin. Arguably the most heated international derby on the planet, every time Brazil and Argentina meet it’s a special occasion. This Thursday’s match, however, has some extra plot elements that make this particular encounter a unique and spicy affair. 

Brazilian Player Gets Sent Off, Retaliates By Attacking Everybody

Antonio Ferreira received a straight red card for ‘shielding’ the ball from a defender, relying a little too heavily on his elbow to maintain possession. That was only the beginning of the violence from Ferreira, with the Mirassol Futebol Clube defender going absolutely mental after receiving his marching orders.

The Only Person Who Can Stop Neymar From Being The Greatest Is Himself

When Neymar first burst onto the world stage, he was only 18. So we gave him a pass for his actions, assuming he would grow up and stop flopping and starting fights as he got older. 

However it seems that he might never grow up, as, despite playing internationally for six years now, he is still apparently doing things like this:

Cómo comer, entrenar y jugar como Neymar

Así que eres el chico del equipo con una complexión delgada, de 1,80 m y un peso que cae justo en el medio del 50 por ciento para tu edad. Has escuchado las palabras "flaco" y "palillo" lanzadas por los entrenadores cuando discuten tu físico.

Anderson Knocks Out Teammate With One-Two Punch In Training Brawl

Two years ago, Brazilian midfielder Anderson was at the end of his Manchester United career after being frozen out under manager Louis van Gaal. Oddly, Anderson had managed to stay on the Old Trafford books for over seven seasons without ever particularly impressing.

Tite And Gabriel Jesus Have Re-Established Brazil As South America's Top Team

It’s hard to imagine that only a few months ago we were considering the possibility of Brazil missing a World Cup for the first time since the tournament began back in 1930. 

Well, the tables have turned for the Selecao as well as for everyone else in South America. 

The Chileans looked like the stronghold of the continent after claiming two consecutive Copa Americas. Now their mojo seems to be gone as they have lost two and tied one of their last four matches. 

Brazil's New Mascot Is Both Hilarious And Terrifying

Meet the Canarinho.

No, you don't want to meet him, but meet him. 

The name Canarinho (little canary) has been synonymous with Brazil's National Team since 1984, when their yellow kits were adopted. To honor that nickname (Why, we ask, of all Brazil's nicknames, would you choose to honor that one?), Brazil have up and got themselves a new mascot that looks like something teenagers would catapult at buildings on their cellphones.
