On Wednesday, the German was arrested under spying charges as he appeared to have attempted to contact Russian spies. One of the sources said the accused told investigators that he had claimed to have been passing information to US intelligence as well. The sources, on the other hand, said that the man's links to US intelligence has yet to be conclusively established, but the suspicions warranted the need to brief Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel and select members of the parliament.
Neymar, who recently recovered from thigh and knee injuries he received during a last-16 match victory over Chile to play against the Colombians, reportedly had a quiet game until Colombia's Juan Zuniga challenged him for a header in the 88th minute, BBC said. The 22 year-old was kneed during the collision following the challenge, BBC said.
Buzzfeed reported that as the Colombian star celebrates his penalty goal during the second half of the match between Brazil and his home team, eagle-eye observers noted a huge green insect hitching a ride on his right arm. It appeared that Rodriguez was unaware about the insect, which looked huge as it perched on his bicep. In a GIF image picked up by Buzzfeed, Rodriguez kissed his forearm and not even noticing the insect on his bicep. The insect purportedly landed on the football player before he took the penalty.
