Portuguese newspaper A Bola compiled a lineup of disappointments from the FIFA World Cup. The list features 11 ‘starters’ and 12 ‘substitutes’, including three players from the Brazilian national team: Gabriel Magalhães, Neymar, and Raphinha.

One goal in two games. The iconic playmaker started the tournament injured and played only 14 minutes before taking over the attack in the closing stages of the round of 16 against Norway. He scored, got involved in a heated argument… and was eliminated.

Two games. The expectation was that he would take on a leadership role for the national team alongside Vinícius, but his performances against Morocco and Haiti were poor. He missed the rest of the tournament due to an injury sustained in the second match.

Five games. The center-back played in every match, but was linked to Brazil’s lowest points in the tournament. Saibari and Haaland got the better of him in decisive duels against Morocco and Norway, respectively.

Not even Portuguese idol Cristiano Ronaldo was spared. The veteran also made the list, with statements suggesting that “the numbers mask a disappointing campaign.”
