With Brazil's Men Struggling, People Are Jumping On The Marta Bandwagon

Neymar and Brazil's men haven't scored a goal yet in Rio. Fortunately, Marta and Brazil's women have scored eight.

Neymar and Brazil's men have been so bad in the Olympics that Neymar has reportedly been stripped of the Brazil captainship. Fortunately, Marta and Brazil's women are here to save the day, so much so that fans have started turning Neymar jerseys into Marta jerseys.

This kid has the right idea. Marta is dope at soccer (five-time World Player of the Year winner), and Brazil's women have won their first two games by a combined score of 8-1. Brazil's men, on the other hand, have yet to score and face Denmark tomorrow in a must-win game. If they fail to win, they're out.

If Brazil's men do bow out, expect to see a few more of those Neymar-turned-Marta jerseys floating around.
