Unsurprisingly, those who are already through — Brazil, France, and Portugal, are the only teams to win both their games so far.
Neymar was the only player who did not go to Stadium 974 for the team’s second match in Qatar, but Brazil defeated Switzerland 1-0 to advance to the round of 16 at the World Cup.
Casemiro é o melhor volante do mundo há muito tempo

“Casemiro has been the best defensive midfielder in the world for a long time,” Neymar wrote on Twitter about the defensive midfielder who scored the winning goal for Brazil.

Neymar stayed at the team hotel for physiotherapy treatment on his right ankle, but forward Vinícius Júnior said Neymar also had a fever on Monday.
“He was sad he couldn’t come to the game,” Vinícius Júnior said. “He wasn’t feeling well. Not only because of the foot, but also because he had a little bit of a fever. We are hoping that he can recover as soon as possible.”
