Neymar mocks German expert after Brazil's narrow win over Japan

Neymar responded to a German economist's prediction that Brazil would lose to Japan in the World Cup round of 32 match. Brazil initially trailed but secured a late victory thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Gabriel Martinelli. Despite not playing in the match, Neymar took to social media to taunt the economist, Joachim Klement, who had missed the mark on his prediction. Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti noted that Neymar was being preserved for potential extra time, indicating he might have played if the match had continued. Brazil, a favorite in the tournament, continues to advance.
