sports football world cup

Neymar announced Sunday that he is done playing for Brazil’s national team. The emotional announcement came shortly after the five-time champions were knocked out of the 2026 World Cup.

Brazil's exit occurred following a 2-1 loss to Norway in the round of 16. The injury-plagued striker converted a penalty during the match, but failed to lead his team further in the competition.

Neymar stated that his international career for Brazil is over. "I tried, I tried ... Now it's over!" he said.
