Brazil were held to a 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Sunday, failing to win their opening game of a World Cup finals for the first time in 40 years.
The pre-tournament favourites were unable to build upon Philippe Coutinho first-half strike before a Swiss reply shortly after half-time in the Group E clash.
Much focus was on Brazilian star Neymar who, expertly marshalled by Valon Behrami, faced an onslaught of tough challenges and spent much of the game on the floor.
These were the best Neymar tweets, and jokes from Brazil 1-1 Switzerland at Russia 2018:
Switzerland are playing. The Swiss flag isn't angry, but it is a little cross. #BRASUI pic.twitter.com/kxhqLBChxb
