Neymar didn’t step up early to take a penalty for Brazil in the shocking loss to Croatia
Croatian captain Luka Modric stood up to take the first penalty of the night as Croatia knocked Brazil out of the World Cup, handing over a defeat to the feared 5-time champions. They won the shootout 4-2 to reach the semi-finals for the second time in a row, as two Brazilian players failed to convert the spot kick. “It feels like a nightmare. It’s hard to believe this is happening,” said Neymar, whose future with the national team is uncertain after the defeat.
Brazil’s talisman Neymar didn’t take the penalty to the crowd’s surprise. He was waiting to take the fifth and decisive kick—the game. The PSG player tied Pele’s record for most national team goals, giving Brazilian fans hope in the extra time. Brazilian coach Tite said he had planned for his best player to take the fifth penalty. “That’s the one with the most pressure, and he would be the player with the most quality and mental preparedness to take the shot,”.
