On Friday, December 9, Croatia made history by defeating Neymar Jr's Brazil 4-2 in a penalty shootout. Thousands of 'canarinha' fans were devastated to see the South American team of 'jogo bonito' eliminated from the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after performing well in previous matches.
The betting 'insiders' indicated that Brazil was a favorite to win, so dozens of fans invested a good sum of money on Neymar's team victory. However, the opposite happened and they lost a lot of money, and some couldn't bear such defeat. This was the case of a Peruvian who is now poor.

As can be seen in a video shared on Tiktok, two fans of Alianza Lima ended up laying on the floor in the middle of a betting house after learning that they lost all the money they had for Christmas in that play of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
"Me at this moment" is the title of this video, in which you can see the fans lying on the floor after seeing Neymar defeated and with it their hopes of becoming millionaires in seconds. The reactions on TikTok were immediate.
"It hurt me more for Brazil to be eliminated than to lose my money", "a friend bet 500 soles on Brazil, now he's broke", "everyone in Peru at this moment", "I felt the same way with Portugal, pipipi", "poor Alianza fan, the same thing will happen to him in the Libertadores", were some of the comments recorded on the Chinese social network.
