Carmelo Anthony has decided to remain in New York, choosing the Knicks over a number of NBA teams that could have given him a better chance for the championship he craves.
The last place Brazilians expected to be embarrassed in the World Cup was on the pitch.
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal said his team's run to third place at the World Cup was proof there is more than one "Dutch" way of playing the game.

Brazilian superstar Neymar said on Thursday he wants Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi to lead Argentina to victory in the World Cup final against Germany.
When the 22 players representing Germany and Argentina step out onto the Maracana pitch for Sunday's World Cup final, roughly half will be fulfilling prophecies made in the previous decade.
