The Brazilian hearts are broken along with Neymar's back. The 22-year-old athlete will not be able to play for the rest of the tournament after Colombia's Zuniga accidentally kneed him on the vertebrae and fracturing it. Good news to the team and all the supporters, Neymar's injury will not be requiring a surgery-only rehabilitation and therapy says that team's doctor Rodrigo Lasmar.

In his case, he would only have his back braced for several weeks until the fracture is healed. This is, fortunately, due to his youth and the healthy physique that Neymar has. The brace will can be uncomfortable and will make you sweat a lot, but it will prevent the spine from moving-allowing the bone and its tissues to mend itself.

The athlete said that his dream is not over yet, but only interrupted by the incident. His dream continues and he is certain that his teammates will make sure that it will come true-and that is to be a world champion at the end of the tournament. He said that his dream is to play until the end of the World Cup, but this time it is not going to happen; but he is sure that his team will win the semi-finals and that they will go on to the championship.

Neymar is done for this year's World Cup but not for good. Despite the incident, the supporters continue and will continue to be upbeat and positive until the end of FIFA World Cup 2014.
