The World Cup means everything to a lot of players from across the globe. Guys like Neymar make millions of dollars during the course of the year, but they may only get three or four chances to represent their country in the World Cup. While he didn’t exactly start the Knowshon Moreno-style waterworks, you can understand why Neymar was overwhelmed.
