It appears the performance of Brazil in their final group stage game of the 2024 Copa America against Colombia bored Neymar as he took to Instagram to share an interesting post.
Dorival Junior’s side played out a 1-1 draw with Colombia to qualify for the quarter-finals, where they will face Uruguay on July 7, 2024.
Raphinha had put Brazil in front in the 12th minute before Daniel Munoz equalized for Nestor Lorenzo’s side in the 2nd minute of added time.
The Selecao have been below-par thus far in the 2024 Copa America and they qualified to the second round after finishing 2nd in Group D, with 5 points from 3 matches.
Dorival Junior’s side made it through to the last 8 unbeaten, but they shared the spoils twice in their group, playing out a 1-1 draw against Colombia and a 0-0 stalemate against Costa Rica.
Their only victory came against Paraguay, who they smashed 1-4 and it will be interesting to see how they fare in the knockout phase.
