India to lodge protest against FIBA after Sikh players ‘forced’ to remove turbans

NEI INdia
New Delhi: Over 10 days after two of its Sikh players were asked to remove their turbans at the fifth FIBA Asia Cup in China, the Basketball Federation of India (BFI) has decided to lodge a formal complaint against sport’s global governing body. 

The incident dates back to Saturday, July 12, when, just before the game against Japan, two Sikh players - Amritpal Singh and Amjyot Singh - were asked to remove their turbans as wearing it allegedly violated International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules. 

According to media reports, the match officials reportedly cited Article 4.4.2 of FIBA rules that state, "Players shall not wear equipment (objects) that may cause injury to other players." It further says: "Headgear, hair accessories and jewellery are not permitted." 

India's American coach Scott Flemming reportedly tried to reason it out with the officials, but to no avail. Amritpal and Amjyot did not feature in the starting five in the game, and took to court only after removing their turbans, with the former scoring a game-high 15 points.

Speaking to Dailybhaskar.com, BFI’s General Secretary Ajay Sud said the organization has taken cognizance of the event and will lodge a formal protest against FIBA on Thursday, July 24. 

“We have taken note of it (the incident). This is unprecedented. Nothing of this sort has ever happened before,” he said. 

“There is a meeting of FIBA Asia in Doha tomorrow. We will raise the issue there, and will lodge a formal protest against FIBA,” he confirmed. 

K Govindraj, BFI’s senior Vice- President, will represent India in FIBA Asia meet on Thursday. Attempts to reach him for comments proved unsuccessful. Calls to BFI President R S Gill also went unanswered. 

India put up a spirited show in the FIBA World Cup, where they defeated hosts China for the first time ever. Overall, with 3 wins and 4 losses, the Indians finished seventh in the nine-team competition.

GERMANY ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! Three-time winners beat Argentina 1-0 to win World Cup

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Drawing curtains on the 32-day celebration of ‘The Beautiful Game’, three-time winners Germany lifted their first World Cup since 1990 at game’s spiritual home on Sunday in what turned out to be an edge of the seat final.
As 22 drenched and tired men flirted with the endurance of countless onlookers across the world and impregnated the air with unbridled anticipation, 22-year old Bayern Munich midfielder Mario Gotze netted one in in extra time to win the twentieth edition of FIFA World Cup, defeating 1986 winners Argentina 1-0 at the iconic Maracana Stadium in the Brazilian capital.
It was touted as ‘anybody’s game,’ such was the parity between the sides. On its part, the final scoreline did its best to justify the allusion. It took no Kroos or Klose. It required no Mueller or Messi. It was a match and a moment that chose Gotze, a relatively unknown commodity in star-studded German side to mark his date with history. Germany’s first World Cup since 1990 was also its first since its reunification, and it was only poetically justified that Argentina happened to be their opponents on either side of their 24-year leap of history and geography.
The match, for better part, left little to chose from between the two teams. They attacked and missed, attacked and missed some more until 'Super Mario' slotted one in to put millions of jangling German nerves to rest and send his nation to mass delirium. Minutes later, Messi shot a wistful smile after his yet another kick sailed over the goalpost, and the hopes of his fabled left-footed magic began to grow narrower by the second.
In the end, the Barcelona superstar, who has won almost everything that exists to be won in football, won the Golden Ball award, while the Golden Glove went to German goalkeeper Manuel Neur, who maintained four clean sheets in the Cup, including the high pressure final. The Golden Boot, expectedly, went to Colombian sensation James Rodriguez.

FIFA WC 2014: Neymar to add ‘spine’ to Brazil in third place playoff

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Brazil's injured striker Neymar will attend Saturday's third place play-off when the battered World Cup hosts take on the Netherlands.
Brazil were consigned to the ignominy of fighting out a game Dutch coach Louis van Gaal has attacked as "unfair" after their 7-1 semi-final mauling by Germany.
Neymar's absence dominated the build-up to Tuesday's humiliation. The Barcelona striker missed out after fracturing a vertebra in the quarter-final win over Colombia.
"Neymar will come here (to Brazil's World Cup base), he's going to accompany the team to Saturday's match," confirmed Brazil football federation spokesman Rodrigo Paiva to R7.Com.
Paiva announced the news at Brazil's World Cup headquarters in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janeiro.
The Barcelona superstar's absence and as importantly that of suspended defender and captain Thiago Silva contributed to Tuesday's shocking Belo Horizonte battering by a Germany side that now faces Argentina in Sunday's final.
Van Gaal's Holland find themselves in the play-off after Wednesday's 4-2 penalty shoot-out loss to Argentina.
Afterwards van Gaal attacked the play-off, saying: "I think this match should never be played.
"It's unfair also because we have one less day to recover, so that's not fair play but the worst thing is that chances are you lose twice in a row.

FIFA WC 2014: Kerala’s Ayurveda to cure Brazil’s soccer superstar Neymar?

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Unlikely as it may sound, but Kerala, known as much for its for its therapeutic Ayurveda as for its pristine backwaters, may offer solace to star Brazilian footballer Neymar, currently laid low by a fractured vertebra.
The 22-year old striker was pinned down by Colombian defender Juan Zuniga when the two sides met in the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals last week, which the hosts won 2-1. Neymar was carried off the field on a stretcher, and was later ruled out of the rest of the World Cup owing to injury.
Kerala government, according to a report published in The Indian Express, is contemplating to offer state’s ancient Ayurvedic treatment to the footballer.
Denying rumours in a section of media which claimed that Brazilian Football Federation has sought Kerala’s assistance, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said that the idea to give Ayurvedic treatment to Neymar was mooted by Kerala Football Association (KFA).
“When they (KFA) approached us with the idea, I have asked the health department to examine the issue. Heath Minister V S Shivakumar has convened a meeting of higher officials (sic),’’ said Chandy.
Further, the Chief Minister said the state health department has prepared a preliminary report on the nature of Neymar’s injury, but a formal offer would be made to Brazil after consultation with the Health Minister.
“I would have another meeting with the minister tomorrow (Wednesday). If it is possible to give Ayurvedic treatment to Neymar, we would make an offer to the Brazilian Football Federation in that regard,” Chandy said.

Fans flood Twitter with jokes & memes after Argentina reach World Cup semis

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar Argentina fans took to the social website Twitter as soon as their team beat Belgium 1-0 to reach the semifinal of the World Cup for the first time in 24 years.
Apart from star striker Lionel Messi, who is fans favorite when it comes to such creativity, coach Alejandro Sabella grabbed supporters attention with his fall during the game was played.

FIFA WC 2014: Brazil seek World Cup glory for injured star striker Neymar

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar Brazil captain Thiago Silva is looking to use Neymar’s injury as inspiration for himself and his team mates by winning the World Cup for the Barcelona ace.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender acknowledged how big a blow it is to Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team to lose the talented attacker.
But speaking after their 2-1 win over Colombia, a game in which Silva scored the opening goal and performed exceptionally throughout, he told the BBC how they can use Neymar’s injury as a revolution.
Silva said: “Neymar is very important for our group, we depend a lot on him.
“But potentially this situation can mark a revolution for us, like ‘let’s win the Cup for Neymar'.”
Although frustrated that the star forward suffered a back injury, the Brazil captain didn’t criticise Juan Camilo Zúñiga too much.
It was Zúñiga’s challenge through the back of Neymar which caused the Barcelona ace to suffer a fractured vertebra.
However, Silva doesn’t think the Colombian is not a bad guy, he added: “At that moment, he wasn’t very prudent, he could have held up a bit, fouled in a different way.
“He is not a bad guy though.”
If Brazil are to win the World Cup though, they'll need to progress past Germany without Neymar and Silva, who is suspended after picking up a second booking of the tournament against Colombia.

FIFA WC 2014: Dunga hails Brazil star Neymar ahead of the World Cup quarterfinal

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar Former Brazil boss Dunga has praised forward Neymar and explained that his importance is much greater than just his goals.
The Barcelona forward has been one of the stars of the 2014 World Cup, scoring four times in four matches and generally impresses the world with his talent.
The youngster could have played in the 2010 World Cup had Dunga selected him, at the time the Santos attacker wasn’t apparently ready, but now the 50-year-old believes Neymar is the difference for Brazil.
He told Marca: "Neymar is very important for Brazil. He is very focused, playing well, scoring goals.
“It's very important for a player of his level, not just to play well and create opportunities, but also to finish actions and score goals, that makes the difference.”
Dunga went on to discuss the different styles Neymar has to adapt to with his club side Barcelona and then with the Brazil national team.
He added: "There's a big difference between the Neymar of Brazil and that of Barça.
“Neymar's way is to dribble the ball and go in and attack the opposition, and Barça's is one touch football.
