QUARTERFINAL RESULTS

Injured Neymar says World Cup dream 'stolen'Rio de Janeiro, July 6: Brazil football star Neymar said on Saturday that his dream of playing in the World Cup final had been stolen from him by a fractured ver-tebrae inflicted by a Colombia defender.

"They took away my dream of playing in a World Cup final, but the dream of being world champion has not ended," Neymar said in remarks released by the Bra-zilian football federation.

"There are two games left and I am sure my teammates will do everything to lift the trophy," he said.

The Brazil squad applaud-ed the 22-year-old Barcelona striker at an emotional fare-well at their Teresopolis camp before he was taken to

Rio de Janeiro by helicopter. Neymar was ruled out of the rest of the World Cup after Colombian defender Juan Zuniga kneed him in the back in a challenge in Friday's quarter-final. Brazil play Ger-many in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

FIFA said it is investi-gating the incident to see whether disciplinary pro-ceedings are necessary. And Zuniga again insisted Saturday that there was no malicious intent in his chal-lenge.

"I deeply regret the sad injury suffered by Neymar during the game between Brazil and Colombia," the defender said in a letter sent to Neymar that was quoted by the Colombian Football Fed-

eration."This situation resulted

from normal game action and there was no ill-intent, malice or negligence on my part," Zuniga added.

Neymar was collect-ing the ball in the 88th m i n u t e , with his side leading

2-1, when Zuniga launched a jumping challenge from behind and kneed the Bra-zilian in the lower part of his back.

Doctors said Neymar frac-tured the third vertebrae in

his lower back. He was stretchered off the field in agony.
