I have to say when neymar went to take the penalty, probably this was one of the the most pressure moment in my life, i was just so scared. when he converted it into goal, the joy cann't be expressed into words. Respect and love to Brazil from a Bangladeshi Brazil fan. 🇧🇩❤️🇧🇷

The pride that was taken from them, the humiliation they had, they got back up and never gave up. What a team, what a nation. Brazil is back.
