Your support makes all the difference.All eyes will once again be on Neymar as Brazil look for their first win of this World Cup 2018 against Group E strugglers Costa Rica in Saint Petersburg.
The world’s most expensive footballer has been nursing an ankle problem in training this week, and Brazil cannot afford any more slip-ups after being held to a 1-1 draw by Switzerland.
Defeat could see Costa Rica eliminated at the group stage, following their 1-0 loss to Serbia in Samara on Sunday.
