Neymar's dream blown away

Neymar battled back tears as he urged his Brazil team-mates to win the World Cup without him after suffering a fractured vertebrae in the quarter-final win over Colombia. "They took away my dream of playing in a World Cup final, but the dream of being a world champion is not over," the emotional superstar said in comments released by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) as he left the team camp . Neymar's agonizing plight remained centre stage as FIFA announced it would consider action against Colombian defender Juan Zuniga who kneed the Brazilian in the back. Zuniga apologised to Neymar but insisted he had not deliberately hurt the star striker.
