EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Wrapped in a Brazilian flag and wearing a yellow Neymar jersey, Seleção fan Artur did not hesitate for a moment when asked if 34-year-old legend Neymar Jr deserved a roster spot.
“Of course,” Artur says, despite Neymar’s laundry list of injuries that preceded Saturday’s World Cup opener against Morocco, a 1–1 draw. MetLife Stadium saw the star on the bench, sitting in a pink vest, warm up jersey and backward trucker cap.
