'I will not close the door to playing with Brazil, nor do I say 100 percent that I'll come back,' Neymar said.

When their [Croatia’s] goalkeeper [Dominik Livaković] is the best player on the field, the game is talking to you. “He should have taken the fifth and decisive penalty,” Brazilian coach Tite told reporters. “I think talking now is bad because of the heat of the moment. “I can’t guarantee that I’ll play another [World] Cup,” he told Brazilian network Globo. To say that this is the end would be rushing myself, but I don’t guarantee anything either. Maybe I’ll play another one, maybe not.

Neymar hints he might not return to play for the Brazil National Team (MARCA.com)

World Cup football has been a cruel mistress towards Neymar, it has always seduced him for four years and take the candy out of his mouth at the most ...

I want to take this time to think about what is good for me, what is good for the national team. After the game, this is what he told the media in a blunt statement: "There is a lot to think about now, I don't want to say anything with a hot head. The only difference is that Neymar might not return if he makes the decision public. Always taking the blame for his country's defeats, this time none of this was his fault. [Tite announced he was stepping down](https://www.marca.com/en/world-cup/2022/12/09/639395eb46163ff1bf8b45f0.html) as the manager, Neymar spoke to the press to also hint he might be stepping aside. By the time the South Africa World Cup was about to happen in 2010, Neymar was already a big star in Brazil but he didn't make the final list.

Neymar pens emotional post after Brazil's shock quarter-final exit in ... (Hindustan Times)

Neymar penned an emotional note for his fans after Brazil's exit from the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022. | Football News.

After Brazil's exit from the World Cup, PSG star Neymar penned an emotional letter for fans and revealed that he was paralyzed for 10 minutes after the defeat. This was also the fourth time Brazil have been eliminated from their last five World Cup quarter-finals. This was certainly the defeat that hurt me the most, which made me paralyzed for 10 minutes and right after I fell into non-stop crying. Thank you for everything my GOD, you have given me everything so I can't complain. But then Bruno Petkovic equalised in the 117th-minute and then the match entered penalties as Dominik Livakovic reigned supreme for Croatia in their FIFA World Cup 2022 quarter-final fixture at the Education City Stadium. Qatar 2022 seemed like the perfect moment for Brazil, but it all came crashing down as they lost to Croatia in their quarter-finals.

Football turned Neymar's talent toxic: Qatar 2022 feels like an end ... (The Guardian)

The Brazil striker can still win things but his major-chord career is over in the place that made him rich but stole his value.

Imagine the city of the future. And Neymar has been good at tournaments when he hasn’t been injured, as he has been too often in the Champions League knockout rounds. This is perhaps the key point about the sporting life of Neymar Jr, beyond the sparkle and the rage; an inescapable note of sadness. Football made this thing, the Neymar identity; football will do this, will take your talent and transform it into something grotesque. Then there is the gaudy inanity of his public persona. And there will now be an urge to mock Neymar’s tears – so, so many tears – and to rejoice at the hubris; also to drag in the politics, his support for the despotic and dangerous Jair Bolsonaro. Had Croatia’s one shot on target been saved then Neymar being his best Neymar – being, arguably, more Neymar than he has ever managed before at this level – would have been the story. Qatar made Neymar one of the richest athletes who has lived. And Neymar is there!” On cue, Neymar doggedly appears, already with a kind of glazed, hostage-scenario look. This is the way of things here. This was prime Neymar, the years still un-wasted in frolics and room-temperature domestic fluff. This feels like a kind of end point for all that.
