Neymar's Brazil career ends in the most on-brand of ways vs. Norway
Neymar smiled.It was the oddest thing to see, because it was the final seconds of stoppage time, and his penalty kick goal past Norway had only pulled Brazil within 2-1. They were almost certainly out of the World Cup. But there the legendary Neymar was, with a smile on his face.He'd found an opponent within the game -- Orjan Nyland, the Norway goalie, had been trash talking Neymar in the lead-up to his penalty. When Brazil's No. 10 slotted the ball home, he jabbed right back at Nyland.Except the last laugh? Yeah, Nyland and Norway got to have it.Neymar instead got to sit on the pitch, dejected, knowing this was it.It was a surprise that Neymar had even made the squad after injury troubles had robbed him of so much ability.And in the end, he hardly contributed to Brazil's team at this tour
