If Neymar’s vertebrae is truly broken/fractured, it isn’t just terrible for the tournament but also for the career of a bright, young star. — Aniruddha Guha (@AniGuha) July 4, 2014
A hush has fallen across parts of Copacabana, as if the Neymar injury news has reached revellers in Rio. Huge loss to #bra & #WorldCup

What happened to Neymar was not a mishap. Direct result of the lenient refereeing of most matches at this tournament. — Patrick Barclay (@paddybarclay) July 4, 2014
General rule: Trust doctors with injury news more than coaches/players. Soccer loses with Neymar out. Referee let game get out of control.

I won’t reply to all the Argentina fans, and fans of other teams who are spamming me celebrating Neymar’s injury. That’s an all time low. — Seleção Brasileira (@BrazilStats) July 5, 2014
