Young French team on their way to the semi-final with a convincing win over Uruguay
Brazil has been knocked out of the Qtr Final 3 of the last 4 Cups
Neymar was a huge disappointment and he did it to himself.
He should be around for the next WC - hope he’s matured considerably by then.
He never has and he won't. Difference was the refs in this Cup decided not to put up with his shenanigans. Not to mention he never stepped up and played like he is capable.
Brazil until they get back to what made them great will be a long time before they win the Cup again (ie play as a team and not 11 individuals like they did for 40 years).
MBSGA!
Sorry, I digress.
Agreed, this team only recently seemed to gel. I hold out hope for Neymar though - a lot can happen in 4 years.

I think he might have gotten the PK call today on the first play at goal if he didn't have such a reputation as a faker...and, I don't think he was actually fouled on it anyway.
And, he likely would have gotten a card on the Mexico player the other day if he hadn't oversold his pain.
Rooting for England and Croatia, even though my cousin married a Russian woman.
