You know the trick, the one where someone gets on all fours behind someone else's back, and a third someone pushes the second someone, who topples over the first someone?
Coutinho and Neymar were feeling a bit mischievous at Brazil training, so they did that trick to Brazil's giant pissed-off bird mascot, Canarinho.

That is just mean, and also a metaphor for what Coutinho did to Liverpool near the end of the transfer window, if you're the type of person who likes to read too much into things.
Hey, it's the international break and we're bored. Coutinho and Neymar should probably be nicer to Canarinho, though. Canarinho is much larger than they are, and far and away the most muscular canary we have ever seen.
Brazil play Colombia on Tuesday, and can afford to horse around in training because they have already qualified for Russia 2018.
