SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Shortly after Brazil’s bitter and unexpected elimination from Copa America Centenario at the hands of Peru, Brazilian superstar Neymar took to Instagram to voice his frustrations.

After returning to Brazil, the young superstar, who had been previously palling around in Las Vegas apologized for his rant:

(Translated) “My five minutes in Brazil were enough to realize that my post / rant on Instagram had had a negative impact, giant here. What I have heard of people who received me at the airport was that I ‘overdid’ … I admit … ‘Yes, I overdid (it).  (I) apologize to all who were offended. (It) is the least I can do.'”

As a result of his team’s disappointing first-round exit from the Copa, Brazil’s head coach Dunga was relieved from his duties.

FIFA currently ranks the Peruvian Men’s National team at 48th worldwide while the Brazilian team is ranked 7th.
