Episode Details

Brazil’s President Lula cracked a joke about Neymar, calling him the first player ever called up to the national team who basically works remotely—highlighting Neymar’s ongoing calf injury that’s kept him sidelined since October. After missing Brazil’s first two World Cup games and struggling with fitness issues at his club Santos, Neymar finally rejoined training this week. Despite being Brazil’s all-time leading scorer and a vital figure in their past three World Cups, his inclusion sparked surprise. Lula, 80, added fuel to the fire with Messi jokes, while Neymar prepares for Brazil’s final group-stage clash against Scotland in Miami on June 24th.
