9:02 am: Neymar resumes training!

The sequel to the soap opera that has kept Brazil fans in suspense since the star striker injured his right ankle on November 24 against Serbia: the "Ney" will resume training with the ball on Saturday, announced the doctor of the selection, while the round of 16 against South Korea is scheduled for Monday.

“Neymar and Alex Sandro [the defender with a thigh injury] have not yet resumed work with the ball, said Dr Rodrigo Lasmar in a post-match press conference, after the inconsequential defeat against in Cameroon on Friday evening (0-1).

It will be done from tomorrow [Saturday] and it is important to observe how they respond to this.

Depending on these next two days, they may or may not be in condition.

“The right side Danilo (an ankle sprain) should be operational Monday.

Neymar was particularly smiling on the sidelines of the match against the Indomitable Lions at Lusail.

We even saw him trotting on the lawn, and walking without limping.

On the other hand, the situation is more worrying for side Alex Telles and striker Gabriel Jesus, both victims of a knee problem on Friday.

They were replaced during the match, respectively in the 54th and 64th minutes, and must undergo examinations, said Dr Rodrigo Lasmar.

9 a.m.: TUT TUT IT'S GONE!

Welcome home for this new day of the World Cup in Qatar.

And not just any day, since it is the one that opens the knockout phase.

The competition enters a new dimension, brilliant or cruel depending on the case, but always inhabited by emotions that cannot be found anywhere else.

The Netherlands will wipe the plaster in the afternoon against the United States, before the appearance of Leo Messi with Argentina.

Past close to humiliation, the Argentines now tumble with long teeth.

But beware of Australia, that no one was expecting there and who will play uninhibited.

As for our little Blues, D-1 before Poland!

We'll go to their base camp to see how everything is preparing.
