🚨🇧🇷 | ROMÁRIO ON NEYMAR

🗣️ Romário:

"Today, Neymar doesn't have a place in the starting lineup of the Brazilian National Team. The starting lineup is what it is. But of course, depending on the moment and the game, Neymar still has his relevance in the team."

🚨🇧🇷 | UPDATE: Brazil already has a penalty shootout plan if a match goes the distance at the 2026 World Cup.

Here's the penalty taker order chosen by Carlo Ancelotti (subject to change based on player confidence):

🥇 Neymar
🥈 Igor Thiago
🥉 Endrick
4️⃣ Bruno Guimarães
5️⃣ Gabriel Martinelli

Ancelotti will make the final decision before the shootout, with confidence and mentality playing a key role in the order. 🇧🇷🎯

🚨🇧🇷 | 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: Lucas Paquetá was substituted at halftime against Japan after complaining of muscle pain in his left thigh.

Medical tests have now confirmed a grade 2 muscle injury, with an estimated recovery time of around one month.

Paquetá will remain with the Brazilian National Team in the United States for intensive treatment. While the CBF has not officially ruled him out, there is little optimism internally that he will recover in time to play again at the FIFA World Cup.

Wishing Paquetá a speedy recovery. 🇧🇷🙏

🚨🇧🇷 | Neymar trolls Joachim Klement after another failed World Cup prediction.

The economist, famous for correctly predicting the last three World Cup winners, backed Japan to eliminate Brazil.

Brazil responded with a 2-1 victory, and Neymar wrote on X:
💬 "Mr. Joachim Klement... better luck next World Cup 😉"

When Morocco later stunned the Netherlands, Neymar couldn't resist posting again:
😂 "Wrong again!"

🚨🇧🇷 | Carlo Ancelotti reveals why Neymar didn't play against Japan.

🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti:

«"Yes, I was thinking of bringing Neymar on.»

«After that, I spoke with Neymar and told him that if we equalized before the 60th minute, I would bring him on. We were also consider bringing him on if the game went to extra time because he was in good shape and ready.»

«But after we scored the goal, everything became clear. And Neymar knew all of that."»

🇧🇷 Neymar was ready, but Brazil's comeback changed the plan. Ancelotti chose to protect his star, and the Seleção secured a 2–1 victory to book their place in the World Cup round of 16. 💚💛
