Brazil's main man Neymar admits anxiety ahead of World Cup opener

Neymar admits anxiety

Brazilian forward Neymar has admitted that he is anxious ahead of tomorrow's World Cup opener against Croatia.

The Barcelona winger is Brazil's star man in attack and there is plenty expected of him given his international record with the Selecao - 31 goals in 49 games at just 22 years old.

"The time has arrived that Brazil and the world has been waiting for," he told reporters this afternoon.

"I am anxious of course, but I'm also happy to be here."

The other two sides in Group A are Cameroon and Mexico.
