Júlio César, Brazil’s hero in the penalty shootout win against
Chile, reflected on the prize of a World Cup quarter-final and said he
felt he had won back the country’s trust after being the scapegoat in
South Africa four years ago.
Júlio César saved Chile’s first two
penalties and referred immediately to his mistake in the quarter-final
against Holland at the last World Cup. “After what happened in 2010 I
see now how many people are cheering for me and wanting the best for
me,” he said. “After the last World Cup to be labelled as the villain
was very hard for me.
“I got the support of my family but this win
allows me have the necessary strength to go forward. Now, I just hope I
can celebrate with the people of Brazil by kissing the World Cup.
“This
was very special after what happened after the last World Cup. I’d like
to dedicate this to my mum and dad, the staff and 200 million
Brazilians. I apologise if I talk too much. But I am trying to sum up
four years’ work here.”

Júlio César, who joined Toronto from Queens Park Rangers in
February, had broken down in tears before the shootout and was still
visibly emotional as he collected his man-of-the-match award. “Before
the penalties Júlio said: ‘Hit them with confidence and I’ll stop
three,’” his team-mate Thiago Silva said. “It was preordained. Chile
were a great team but we found strength.”*
Luiz Felipe Scolari
described the game as a “war” and “very emotional” and identified Neymar
for special acclaim for not being deterred by a thigh injury he
suffered in an early challenge with Gary Medel. Neymar, he said, would
need treatment to face Colombia on Friday. “This was the fourth step,”
Scolari said of Brazil’s victory. “There are three more. Then we can
reach heaven.”
Beige underwear is usually relegated to the the practical section of most women's lingerie draws. But when put on one of the world's sexiest models, the shade is anything but boring. Emily Ratajkowski - or the 'Blurred Lines babe' as she is often referred to - showed why she is the top of GQ 's list of 2013's most desired women in a racy photo shoot. Master of sexy: Emily Ratajkowski was GQ's number one woman on their The Year in Babes list The 22-year-old part British, part Polish stunner was the men's magazine's number one in their The Year in Babes - this year dubbed Masters of Sexy. And Emily certainly proved she's worth of the title, posing in two sheer ensembles for controversial guest photographer Terry Richardson. No stranger to being in front of Terry's lens, the 22-year-old looked at ease despite showing off a lot of her now famous chest. But it is no wonder the model is so comfortable in her skin, considering millions of peopl

After Manchester United's farcical transfer window, which saw the Old Trafford side reportedly bid for no less than nine midfield players - and recruit just one - Marouane Fellaini - Damien Comolli has led calls for United to appoint a director of football to ease the pressure on manager David Moyes and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. Comolli told BBC Radio 5 Live: ‘If there was a club in need of a director of football to ease the process for both individuals it was Manchester United. David [Moyes] only joined on 1 July which was quite late. 'The issue for Manchester United is that the two most important people at the club in Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill left their positions and new people came in for their first transfer window. Sole signing: Ed Woodward (right) oversaw a summer with Marouane Fellaini Manchester United's only arrival ‘For some reason the club weren’t prepared or they didn’t think it would be that difficult and they ended up
