Its Brazil..

Brazil doesn't give a damn about any other sport unless its Football or Womens volleyball

While the rest of the world talks about Bolt and Phelps, Neymar is the main event to them. They're wondering if hes gonna win a Gold medal for Brazil. If Brazil wins Gold in Football then thats all that matters to them

But if they don't then its gonna be a lot of tough questions for Neymar :francis: especially since hes world class :francis:

It's also because Zika has kept a lot of foreigners away.

A gold medal in the Olympics for Brazil doesn't mean shyt in the grand scheme of things.

Its nothing more than to make the country happy and shut them up until the 2018 world cup.

What tough questions? They got destroyed on their home soil in the last World Cup and couldn't make it out the group stages in the last Copa America. Their days as a perennial powerhouse are probably long gone.

They had a shytty manager :francis:
Leaving out Firmino :dahell:

With the players they currently have they should be competing

Dang. What's a "former" Jamaican though?

Many countries do not allow dual citizenships. Bahrain and Qatar do not all dual citizenship but Turkey does.

Aska Cambridge was born in Jamaica and would have had dual citizenship as a child because his mother is Japanese. At the age of 20 Japan makes you pick a country and obviously he picked Japan. Japan's Olympic rugby team had two Fijians and one Tongan. Those three had to give up their birth citizenship to become Japanese. I was shocked when I saw them because Japan is :mjpls: and almost never gives citizenship to foreigners.



(Sorry if someone already answered, but I can't keep up with this thread.)
