| Shows newly added followers during the world cup |
Despite an embarrassing 7-1 drubbing at the hands of Germany on Tuesday, Brazil's national squad still has one title no country can take away: The Seleção is the most beloved team on Instagram.
Leading the Instagram charge was none other than Neymar, Brazil's star striker who missed the team's last match after breaking his back in the quarter final match against Colombia. Neymar was responsible for the three most popular photos from the entire tournament, including the following snap of the entire Brazilian team — his second most popular with 1.27 million Likes.
No other player generated more than a million Likes on a single photo. Neymar's other popular photos — numbers 1 and 3 on the list, respectively — are here and here. The top photo, a game shot of Neymar in jersey with 1.31 million Likes, was shared the day he broke his back against Colombia with the caption "May the Lord God bless us and protect us!"
Neymar also added a whopping 3.3 million new followers during the World Cup. Teammate and defender David Luiz added 2.3 million. Other international stars like Messi (1 million new followers) and Cristiano Ronaldo (800,000 new followers) were numbers four and five on the list, respectively.
Brazil will be watching the World Cup Final from their respective couches this Sunday, but at least they'll have a slew of Instagram followers to share in the pain.
After all, misery loves company.
