Neymar burns bridges as "insulted" MLS commissioner hits back at comment

Neymar may have accidentally scuppered any chance he had of playing his football in the MLS after the Major League Soccer commissioner responded to the forward's recent comments in angry fashion.

The former Barcelona star continued: "I’d like to play there for at least one season. For Brazil, sometimes I want to, others I don’t.

"The main reason for me to play in MLS is that the season is short, so it would give me three months of vacation. That way, I could play for a few more years," he laughed.
