World Cup player receives threats after injuring Neymar
Colombia’s Juan Zuniga receives angry and creepy threats on Twitter after injuring Brazil star Neymar
Quote:
Colombia’s Juan Zuniga has not only seemingly become the most vilified man in Brazil after ending Neymar’s World Cup – but the defender has also become the target for abuse and anger on Twitter.
Zuniga kneed the 22-year-old in the back towards the end of the quarter-final tie in Fortaleza on Friday, which resulted in Neymar being stretchered off the field in tears.
Team doctor, Rodrigo Lasma, later revealed that the Barcelona forward would miss the rest of the tournament with a fractured vertebra but wouldn’t require surgery for the injury.
Zuniga defended his challenge, saying that he didn’t intend to hurt Neymar, but his explanation has not gone down well with Brazil fans with many taking to Twitter to express their anger at the 28-year-old.
Many accused the Napoli defender of intentionally trying to hurt the Selecao’s talisman – who has scored four goals at the World Cup – while others posted creepy and weird tweets and some, sadly, resorted to racially abusing Zuniga.
He's trending right now (for good reasons = supporters) , but people is messing up with her little daughter on twitter and instagram

No surprise. I'm not saying that its alright for people to do this, but he literally took out the host country's star player, that might change the outcome of the next game against Germany.
It's the refs fault. The game should never have gotten as violent as it did, and it's not Brazil nor Colombia's fault that they played the game the ref allowed them to.
