Neymar scored for the fourth consecutive international to move within nine goals of Pele s all-time scoring record and head coach Tite said there is no limit for his superstar player.
Neymar scored once and played a major role in setting up the other three goals as defending champions Brazil routed Peru 4-0 to make it two wins from two games at the Copa America.
On Thursday, Neymar s strike took his international tally to 68 goals, second overall for Brazil, behind only Selecao great Pele with 77.
Since his 2010 debut, Neymar has scored 49 goals more than any of his international team-mates in that period.

Making their final pre-Euro 24 appearance on Friday night, England will welcome Iceland to Wembley.
England
Starting with the hosts, eventually claiming a 3-0 romp against Bosnia Herzegovina at St. James’ Park earlier in the week following a dominant second-half performance, England will be looking to make one final pre-Euro 24 statement on Friday night. Storming their way to this summer’s European Championships and not suffering a single qualifying defeat, it is no secret that the Three Lions are pencilled in as a leading contender over in Germany. With many billing Gareth Southgate’s current crop as a real golden generation, the European giants have also not suffered a single competitive defeat since their World Cup exit out in…
Millwall held off a strong second-half push from Stoke to secure a 1-0 win and their first home points of the season.
Gary Rowett, who had taken stick from his own supporters in defeat at Norwich last weekend, saw his side control the first half at the Den and deservedly go in with a lead courtesy of a strike from summer signing Kevin Nisbet.
Stoke came into the game after a quadruple substitution at half-time as Andre Vidigal went close with a one-on-one and forced a fine save from Matija Sarkic, while Tyrese Campbell hit a post and Wouter Burger had a late drive fizz wide.
But it was Millwall who hung on and Rowett continues his hold over his old side, having won six out of nine encounters since leaving the Potters in 2019.
Millwall had taken hold of a …

Robert Lewandowski s first-half hat-trick got Barcelona back to winning ways in LaLiga with a 3-0 victory away at Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.
Barcelona started brightly but were denied a fifth-minute lead as Raphinha s dinked finish over Antonio Sivera was ruled out for offside.

Lewandowski completed his hat-trick in the 32nd minute, netting his 10th league goal of the campaign, doing well to guide it into the net as he took a tumble.
Toni Martinez had a first-half goal disallowed by VAR for the hosts, and also struck the post just after the b…

England responded to their shock 2-1 defeat at home to Greece on Thursday with a 3-1 victory in Finland on Sunday.
While the Three Lions were still not at their brilliant best, it was a marked improvement on their last match. However, conversation was dominated by Carsley s future and questions over who will take the role after the match.
Definitely not, Carsley said after being asked in the post-match press conference whether he felt it was too soon for him to become the senior manager.
I tried to make it as clear as I could. My remit was for three camps. The point I was trying…

Hoping to make up some ground in the Serie A title chase, Flamengo will travel to the Barradao when they meet Vitoria in the early hours of Thursday.
Vitoria
Starting with the hosts, while Vitoria might have stormed their way to a Serie A return this season, Thiago Carpini’s side have a real battle on their hands this time around. Already battling it out in the drop zone and tipped as a leading candidate to be hit with an immediate second-tier return, the former Sao Paulo boss could also find some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Last seen over the weekend putting in another worrying performance as they fell to a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Gremio, the Bahia-based outfit will be bracing themselves for a heavyweight challe…
