[2014 World Cup] Brazil’s Neymar Wears Banned Beats Headphones At World Cup

Neymar has put himself at the risk of punishment by FIFA after wearing a pair of Beats by Dre headphones—a brand banned from the World Cup due to the governing body's deal with Sony—during a press conference in Brazil. The Samba star, who is one goal behind upcoming opponent James Rodriguez in the battle for the tournament's Golden Boot, went against the rules when confirming his recent fitness issues are nothing to worry about, reported by Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail:

The incident comes after world governing body FIFA struck an agreement with Sony for the rights during the month-long showpiece.
[...] Players from all 32 competing countries were told they mustn't wear Beats' product during media briefings and on matchdays. They were all sent free pairs of Sony's gear to wear, but few have been spotted using them.
