Vinicius’ goal was the exquisite beauty we expect from a great talent.
Will he start and write his name into a Brazilian legend?
“He was expected to be the leader of the Selecao at the moment,” said Brazilian soccer expert Marcus Alves.
However, four years on from the 2022 World Cup quarter-final loss to Croatia on penalties, doubts surround him.
Yet the quality of the goal here cannot be doubted – Brazil’s 10th, with three coming on US soil.
“This is where Vinicius Junior comes into his own,” former England goalkeeper Joe Hart told BBC One.
“He was quiet in the game, of course he was, but you can’t criticize players like that on the big stage.
“He cut and smashed Bono. What a moment.”
Vinicius spoke on Friday about how this was “the most important moment in my life and career”.
He added: “I felt great freedom from Ancelotti and a sincere belief that I can do for the national team what I do for Real Madrid.”
“I want to try to write the history of the country and the national team. We have to do everything to win.”
Brazil played against Morocco.
A failure in this tournament after a 24-year title drought raises serious questions about how the most successful team in World Cup history will move forward.
