Neymar noticed on mobility scooter at Universal Orlando after Brazil World Cup exit

Neymar was seen at the Universal Orlando Resort on Thursday, just days after Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup by Norway – who England are set to face on Saturday

Brazilian football legend Neymar was spotted cruising around Universal Orlando Resort on a mobility scooter following Brazil’s World Cup exit. The former Barcelona ace was seen at the resort on Thursday (09/07), mere days after Brazil were ousted from the World Cup by Norway..

Neymar holds the record as Brazil’s all-time top goal scorer, boasting 80 goals, his most recent being a penalty against Norway in their 2-1 defeat. In the video, he is seen sporting grey shorts, a black & white t-shirt, and accessorising with a hat and sunglasses.

This comes after Neymar declared his retirement from international football in the wake of Brazil’s World Cup departure. An onlooker told Sell Us Your Story: “No one really cottoned on to the fact it was him at first, and then he got mobbed.

“I’ve no idea why he was on the scooter – but it was scorching hot.

“We first realised he was there as we were at a restaurant in a different part of the park, and then we overheard some security guard say it was Neymar, so we headed to the next part of the park.

“We came through, and they thought we were security, so we got to stay relatively close.”

It comes after England secured a 2-1 win over Norway on Saturday to book a fourth World Cup semi-final appearance.

It will be the seventh time England have played in the semi-finals of a major tournament, not including the 1968 European Championship when only four teams qualified for the finals.

Argentina overcame a mighty effort from a 10-man Switzerland squad to claim a 3-1 extra-time victory in Kansas City and set up a semi-final clash with England.
