Socrates, the great Brazilian soccer maverick, has died at age 57. Those who saw him play were
moved by his style. He glided over the grass, his intelligence working the angles, carving space,
inspirational and beautiful. He was unlike the other midfield maestro of his era Maradona. The
Argentine was a short squat explosive; Socrates embodied elegance and poise, something special, the
man with the golden heel.

Brazilian soccer was recently pronounced dead by British magazine FourFourTwo, and, frankly, the
senior team did very little to dispel that notion at the Copa America, but Ney Franco's Under-20
side salvaged the summer by capturing Brazil's fifth World Youth Championship.
Brazilian soccer assistant referee Nadine Schram Câmara Bastos worked the lines of Sunday's 2-2
draw between Campeonato Brasileiro Série A leaders Corinthians and mid-table Ceará. Given that it

display.
The Brazil men kick off their Copa America campaign, while the women look to keep rolling in the
World Cup.

Neymar's a big deal right now. Really big deal. Not only is he eliciting comparisons to Pele and
sporting a really suspect 'hawk, he's also got much of Europe the portion with big wallets all hot

him to target prey with promises of a sex tape.
