Most of the time when it’s a big player’s birthday their teams and fans will post cool photos of them and a best goals compilation. For example:

It’s always a joy to celebrate one of your favorite players by watching some of their best work and talking about how great they are. Neymar, however, and the rest of the Brazil squad had other plans.

Egging someone is just a classic prank and it became just a complete mess when all the others came in with flour and Powerade. A few others got the egg treatment including Brazil’s star-man Neymar. After the Coutinho birthday prank, everyone is going to need an extra long shower to get all that egg out of their hair.
Brazil opens the World Cup on June 17 against Switzerland in Group E. Though Neymar missed most of the spring with an injury, he returned just in time for the Coutinho birthday fun and appears to be just fine after scoring against Croatia and Austria in pre-World Cup friendlies.
