When Stan Kroenke had SoFi Stadium built in Inglewood, he envisioned it becoming not only the home of the Los Angeles Rams, but also a venue that could host the world’s biggest events. That’s certainly coming to fruition with the Olympics and World Cup using SoFi Stadium in years to come, and right now, Copa America games are being played in the Rams’ building.
Brazil took on Costa Rica on Monday at SoFi Stadium and Puka Nacua was in attendance. Not only was he there for the game, but he connected with two of Brazil’s biggest stars: Vinicius Jr. and Neymar.
The Rams shared a couple of videos of Nacua meeting Vini Jr. and Neymar, giving each of them a custom Rams jersey with their name on it. Neymar was particularly excited about the gift, saying, “For me?! Ohhh!”
Neymar didn’t play in the game due to a knee injury but he was still there supporting his teammates during the 0-0 draw.
