Neymar to miss rest of Copa America as Brazil drop ban appeal

The Brazilian FA have dropped their appeal against Neymar's four-game suspension, meaning he will miss the rest of the Copa América.

The Seleção will be without their captain for the quarter-final against Paraguay - and beyond if Brazil progress - after he kicked a ball at Pablo Armero at the end of Colombia's 1-0 victory on Wednesday.

And we all know how that ended... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo2_yFv1kmQ
