The only moment in today's entire match when Brazil commanded any respect was on Neymar's penalty.
Before the kick, Norway's goalkeeper was dancing around and clowning, trying to get inside Neymar's head.
Neymar stepped up, stayed completely calm, and buried it.
After scoring, he walked over to Norway's goalkeeper and reminded him exactly who Neymar is and who Brazil is at the World Cup.
Neymar was the ONLY player on that entire team of cowards who demanded respect, stood his ground, SCORED A GOAL, and then, after it was all over, broke down in tears following yet another World Cup elimination.
What I find funny is that I constantly see Brazilian soccer pages complaining about how this generation of players is soft, has no killer instinct, no fighting spirit, isn't made up of real men, and has no testosterone.
But the moment one MAN actually acted like a MAN and demanded RESPECT... they're now desperately trying to push a narrative to turn the Brazilian public against Neymar.
It's not going to work.
Now, if you're reading this and you don't live in Brazil, let me explain the ONLY reason why some Brazilians and much of the Brazilian media have been going after Neymar for years:
Neymar is politically conservative. He openly supported Bolsonaro.
Yes, that's really it. There is no other reason. Ever since he publicly endorsed Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 election, people suddenly started questioning whether he was ever that good in the first place.
You have no idea how MASSIVE the campaign was from major media outlets and several soccer journalists to keep Neymar off this World Cup squad.
The funniest part is that when Neymar Jr.'s name was announced, people literally celebrated in the streets because Neymar is still, by far, the biggest name in Brazilian soccer over the last 15 years. Not even close.
He's the people's champion. He reminds Brazilians of the joy of playing soccer.
Today we lost, but we lost with dignity because one MAN, Neymar Jr., made sure Brazil earned at least a little respect, even in defeat. Something every other COWARD on that team failed to do.
Best of luck to Haaland and Norway. I'll be rooting for them to make the final.
O escudo perfeito.
Como já era previsto e muitos alertaram, agora só se fala no Neymar que é o MENOS CULPADO.
Ninguém vai questionar o Danilo absoluto na lateral e errando todo jogo;
Ninguém vai questionar o Vini que hoje, o jogo grande que jogador grande precisa aparecer, simplesmente não fez absolutamente nada;
Ninguém vai questionar o Endrick que tb é marrento perdendo gol só ele e o goleiro;
Ninguém vai questionar as escolhas do técnico que sequer falou no final do jogo.
@CentralDoBrega Engraçado o cara com 20 min de jogo ser o foco da discussão enquanto, quem é o protagonista, vulgo the besta Vini, não apareceu em 90 min jogados.. parabéns ai analista de futebol
@CR7Brasil Neymar não teve sorte de ter bons companheiros na seleção.. assim como CR7.. torço pra que Cris não tenha que ser eliminado do mesmo jeito.. e todo mundo o culpe igual
@rapworldbr Você está errado o craque da seleção é Vini Jr.. o Neymar teve 25min de jogo! medo eu tenho do que será essa próxima geração.. raphinha e Vini sendo nossos protagonistas, mas vocês querem isso
@BloBSSCFC@biel_r77@JulioAbreuSEP26@Oledobrasil Alisson fez o feijão com arroz.. só que bem mal feito.. não fez nenhum milagre... Concordamos com todo resto.. halland monstro e seleção amarelona 🤜🤛
@peterjordan Não me canso de dizer.. vocês merecem Vini e raphinha.. e Bruno G batendo pênalti.. falar de Ney depois de uma atuação ridícula dessa seleção é desonesto... Neymar não correu pq ele é o último homem, mas nenhum outro jogador correu... Dominados pela poderosa noruega
@golsdobrasil1 Kkkkkk voces merecem o the besta Vini Jr... Melhor do mundo em pipocar.. e o Bruno Guimarães batendo 3 pênaltis na carreira dele, com 60% de conversao
