“Shouldn’t have spent all that time with Bolsonaro” – Fans troll Neymar and ‘arrogant’ Brazil as Selecao crash out of the FIFA World Cup

Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. was slammed by fans, despite scoring against Croatia, after the Selecao were eliminated from the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Friday, 9 December.The game headed to extra time after the conclusion of a goalless 90 minutes. The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar broke the deadlock in injury time of the first half of extra time.It was a goal-of-the-tournament contender from the superstar no. 10. He weaved passed a crowd of Croatian players before getting around Dominik Milinkovic to find the back of the net for the Selecao.However, the lead didn't last long for Tite's side as Bruno Petkovic equalized in the 117th minute. His shot took a deflection off Marquinhos to end up in the back of Alisson Becker's net.It was all square after 120 minutes and the game headed to a shootout. Croatia converted all four of their shots. Brazil, meanwhile, missed two out of their four efforts. Rodrygo was denied by Livakovic while Marquinhos hit the post with the last spot kick.Neymar didn't even get the chance to take his shot. Fans, however, believe the superstar should have taken responsibility and stepped up to take on the previous shots.Fans also claimed that the result was karma for the PSG star for his admiration of the right-wing Brazilian government of Jair Bolsorano. The former Barcelona superstar has displayed his support for Bolsorano on multiple occasions since the new government took charge in 2018.Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter after the Selecao were eliminated from the 2022 FIFA World Cup:Michael Caley@MC_of_Afeel bad for Brazil but Neymar scoring an all-time World Cup goal and then having it be completely forgotten within a half hour is pretty funnyshouldn't have spent all that time with Bolsonaro if you didn't want to be cursed26022feel bad for Brazil but Neymar scoring an all-time World Cup goal and then having it be completely forgotten within a half hour is pretty funnyshouldn't have spent all that time with Bolsonaro if you didn't want to be cursed🇫🇷🇦🇷@Ronnnnn____Neymar World Cup 2022 Highlights | Greater than Ronaldinho? | The next Ballon D’or Winner?305Neymar World Cup 2022 Highlights | Greater than Ronaldinho? | The next Ballon D’or Winner? https://t.co/juOSpOFzzOFootball Tweet ⚽@Football__TweetNeymar, meet Karma.
