Neymar Remains Brazil Top Dog After Copa America Opener

Take a guess who made the difference. Go on, it shouldn't take you very long, or too many guesses for that matter. If there is anyone who remotely follows international football and is yet to realise that Neymar is the key protagonist of this Brazil side, the man with the hopes of close to 200 million people slung on to slim shoulders, then it is perhaps time that individual looked for a new hobby.

Brazil beat Peru 2-1 in their Copa America opener on Sunday, and it is now 11 wins from 11. The performance and manner of the victory, however, still indicated Dunga's Selecao Brasileira has a long way to go in terms of rediscovering any form to top-class rhythm.
