The journalist Sam Borden publicized the article For Bellicose Brazil, Payback Carries Heavy Price: Loss of Neymar (New York Times, July 5th, 2014).
I should say that the author didn’t watch the soccer game Brazil versus Colombia. If he had seen it, he never would mention Brazil as bellicose.
So I sent a message to that newspaper. I tried to be kind but it isn’t easy.

Mr. Borden (or Mr. Burden, heavy?)
With regard to the article “For Bellicose Brazil, Payback Carries Heavy Price: Loss of Neymar” (New York Times, July 5th, 2014), in which Mr. Borden state that Brazilians players played violently so they started the sort of things that led Zuniga hit Neymar, I must tell you what follows.
How many Colombians players were injured in the soccer match Brazil and Colombia?
The fouls perpetrated by Colombians and Brazilians players should have the yellow card since the beginning of the match and if necessary the red card as well. So the guilty should be attributed only to the referee not to the Brazilian players.
If a monkey watched the video of Zuniga hitting Neymar in the back, 'he' would think it's an UFC fight.
It's hard to understand the ways and the values Mr. Burden uses to report subjects concerning soccer.
Best regards
