Neymar’s spicy chicana for Argentina’s Wembley celebrations: “Did they win the World Cup?”

This morning Brazil beat South Korea in Seoul and responded on the pitch to the accusations that the Argentine national team has dedicated to scratch after the Wembley victory against Italy.

He was beaten 5-1, with two penalties by Neymar, and served to continue fueling the predictions that give Brazil the main candidate to win the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

Tite’s men are about to complete four years of their elimination in Russia 2018 at the hands of Belgium, which was their second defeat in four years. The other? Last year, at Maracana and against Argentina for the Copa América final. So the Chicanas from side to side were on the rise, with folklore and rivalry more marked than ever between the two giants of South America.

However, if in the neighboring country they were hurt by the songs that De Paul, Otamendi and teammates sang in the Wembley locker room, it was Neymar who had to answer to Scaloni’s team.

A Brazilian portal published a photo of the celebrating Argentines and Neymar stepped out of the script and spontaneously commented: “Did they win the World Cup?”

Ney’s chicane was born from the fervor shown by the dressing room spiritually led by Messi, who, among other things, avoids being aloof from those spent against rivals.

Brazil is five-time world champion despite 20 years having passed since the last time they had to lift a cup, a drought that in Argentina’s case extends to 1986, when Maradona lifted the trophy in Mexico.

But the most recent is the Copa América, in Brazil, a title that gave Argentina the chance to play the Grand Final against Italy, a match that it condemned at high altitude.

Argentina and Brazil have a match pending for qualifiers, a match that has been suspended by the San Pablo health authorities in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and which FIFA has determined that it must be played before the start of the World Cup, which that the AFA tries to avoid.

The other post-Maracana duel was in San Juan, for the Qualifiers, and was 0-0, demonstrating a lot of equality between the two teams, which are shortlisted for Qatar 2022.
