Neymar plays down James Rodriguez rivalry

Neymar insists that facing James Rodriguez is nothing more than a subplot to the main event that is Brazil's quarter-final with Colombia.

Neymar has insisted that Brazil's World Cup quarter-final clash with Colombia is not a case of him against James Rodriguez.

Two of the tournament's stand-out performers will come face-to-face in Fortaleza tonight, with Rodriguez currently leading the charge for the Golden Boot with five goals - one more than his Brazilian counterpart.

"It isn't a match between Neymar and James Rodriguez but a game between Brazil and Colombia," he told reporters.

"We will once again have to perform as a team. James is a dangerous player and he has shown what a talent he is with a brilliant left foot and great vision.

"We need to give him little to no space or otherwise he will spell danger for us."

Tonight's encounter kicks off at 9pm.
