SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Neymar said Saturday he will be joining Barcelona after the Confederations Cup, the latest addition to a star-filled roster that already includes four-time FIFA Player of the Year Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. Orioles Jerseys For Sale . The decision came a day after Neymars Brazilian club, Santos, said it had accepted offers from Barcelona and Spanish rival Real Madrid, and that it was up to him to pick where he wanted to play. The 21-year-old striker made the announcement on Twitter and Instagram. "I wouldnt be able to wait until Monday. My friends and my family already know of my decision," he wrote. "On Monday I will sign a contract with Barcelona." Barcelona confirmed the deal on its own Twitter account. "FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Santos for Neymar," the club said. "The Brazilian player will join FC Barcelona for the next five seasons." The club offered more praise on its website, calling him "one of the most promising footballers on the planet." Messi was quoted as saying earlier this week that Neymar would be "a wonderful signing" for Barcelona. Neymar didnt give any details on the offer he and Santos accepted from Barcelona. He will play his last match with Santos on Sunday in the teams first match in this years Brazilian league. "I want to thank Santos fans for these nine incredible years. My feelings for the club and the fans will never change," he said. "I made it sure that I play (this last match) so I can have the opportunity to once again enter the field wearing the teams jersey and to hear the fans chant my name." Neymar led Santos to its greatest run since Pele stopped playing for the club in the 1970s, helping the team win the 2010 Brazilian Cup, the 2011 Copa Libertadores and three straight Sao Paulo state championships. He is the clubs leading scorer in the post-Pele era with 138 goals in 229 matches. Hes also considered the national teams key player in the upcoming Confederations Cup and World Cup, which Brazil hosts next year. Neymar will join Barcelona after the Confederations Cup, as the transfer window in Europe opens in July. The signing ends years of speculation about which team would be the first to persuade the Brazilian sensation to make the move to Europe. Neymar has never hidden his desire to one day play for Barcelona, but this week Real Madrid also became a front-runner to sign him. Santos vice-president Odilio Rodrigues said Friday that both offers were "similar," but hinted that Neymar already had a "gentlemans agreement" with Barcelona. Neymar learned the details of the offers late Friday and said he would look at both carefully before deciding. He said he was "very proud" the Spanish powerhouses were interested in him, calling it "one of the happiest moments" of his life. Brazilian media reported that Real Madrid was willing to pay Santos 35 million euros for Neymar, 7 million euros more than Barcelona. Real Madrid also reportedly offered a bigger salary. Spanish media said the total Barcelona would spend on Neymar could reach about 50 million euros. Santos officially rejected a 35 million-euro offer for Neymar from Chelsea in 2010 and he eventually re-signed with the club until the 2014 World Cup, with a buyout clause of 65 million euros. Santos was trying to sell Neymar as quickly as possible because in six months the player would be allowed to sign a pre-contract with any other club and the Brazilian team would not get anything in return. Neymar is an idol on the field and a celebrity off it in Brazil. He appears in dozens of television commercials and his image is plastered on billboards across the country, making him by far the best paid athlete in Brazil. This week, he topped the list of most marketable athletes in the world in a report published by SportsPro magazine, finishing ahead of Messi and golfer Rory McIlroy. But he is also criticized by some in Europe for his dives and alleged attempts to fake injuries. Pele has repeatedly said that Neymar has the potential to be the best player in the world, even better than Messi, but he is one of the critics who recently said Neymar should try to stop diving so much. Neymar is also criticized for disappointing performances at decisive moments when he plays for Brazil. His recent lacklustre performances with the national team even attracted loud jeers from home fans. Adam Jones Jersey .

LANDOVER, Md. -- Missing their biggest offensive target and facing one of the NFLs top defenses, the Washington Redskins looked as in command as theyve been all season.Kirk Cousins threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns, the three-headed running attack of Matt Jones, Robert Kelley and Chris Thompson combined for 231 yards and a touchdown and the Redskins ran roughshod over the Philadelphia Eagles in a 27-20 victory on Sunday.The Redskins (4-2) put up 493 offensive yards against the Eagles (3-2), who came in allowing of 266.8 yards and 12.6 points as the leagues second-best defense.In spurts today I think we showed what were capable of. The challenge will always be to do it from the first whistle to the last, said Cousins, who was 18 of 34. But it was a good offensive showing because so many guys contributed and made a difference.Cousins rebounded when Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins intercepted him and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown, and Washington showed restraint and balance offensively without tight end Jordan Reed, who was out with a concussion . After starting the season 0-2, the Redskins have their best record through six games since 2008.Cousins connected with Jamison Crowder on a 16-yard touchdown and with Vernon Davis on a 13-yard touchdown.

Wentz was 11 of 22 for 179 yards, and the Eagles finished with 239 total yards.Ive got to be better, especially late in the game, Wentz said. Youve got to learn from it. Its all about how you react and respond to losses.Philadelphia got its points on an 86-yard kickoff return touchdown by Wendell Smallwood, Jenkins interception return and two field goals by Caleb Sturgis. The Eagles opened the season with three wins before losing two straight.JUMP SHOT CLANKSAfter his touchdown, Davis mimicked a jump shot and treated the football like a basketball. He was flagged for excessive celebration, setting Washington back 15 yards on the ensuing kkickoff. Andrew Cashner Jersey. Redskins coach Jay Gruden showed players video of illegal celebrations, but that wasnt on the film.I dont think thats taunting. Youre just celebrating, right? Davis said. All I can do is correct it next time and not shoot.That had a major impact as Smallwood caught the ball at the 14 and returned it 86 yards for a touchdown to get the Eagles on the board.WAIT A SECONDThe Eagles ran four offensive plays from scrimmage in the second quarter, and one of them was Wentz kneeling with 6 seconds left. Because of Smallwoods kickoff return touchdown and Jenkins pick-six, they scored 14 points in the quarter.Philadelphia went into halftime with just 41 yards -- 29 rushing and 12 passing -- and three first downs.`BIG V BOWLED OVERWith Lane Johnson beginning a 10-game performance-enhancing drugs suspension , Halapoulivaati Vaitai started at right tackle and had an afternoon to forget.

The runs were really leaky. Tackling wasnt that great. Coverage wasnt that great. Pass rush. Everything. Weve got a lot to get done.Cousins on winning four in a row: You can never hit the panic button in this game. ... You just keep playing. If you hit the panic button in this business, you dont belong in this business.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---This story has been corrected to show that Redskins started season 0-2 instead of 0-3.
