This was Neymar’s 77th international goal for Brazil as he equalled the record previously held by legendary Pele.

Honestly was leaning towards Brazil winning it after the Korea performance. Felt they over celebrated a bit at extra time half time – didn’t like that. Job wasn’t done.
Massive shock. But Modric – how’s he still playing this well!? 🙌
