The moment Brazilian star Nima was eliminated by Croatia in the last eight of the World Cup, he broke down in tears and the sad scene is still fresh in our minds. However, the 30-year-old striker seems to have put his grief behind him as he hosted 2 all-night parties in a row not long ago, with Manchester United winger Anthony Maffeos also in attendance.
After Brazil was eliminated by Croatia on December 9, Nima returned to Brazil two days later and immediately gathered his sister and a group of close friends to host a party at his home. Last Sunday (11th) and Monday (12th), he organized 2 parties in a row.
Nima had planned to keep the event on the down low and asked for it to be kept secret, but unfortunately, one of the women who attended the party "broke the news" on social media, claiming that the party went on until 5am. The news was immediately picked up by the Brazilian media.
As soon as the news broke, it immediately sparked a lot of criticism from netizens. Some accused Nima of hypocrisy, stating, "There's nothing wrong with hosting a party per se, but what the hell is it when you claim on social media that your soul is destroyed after losing a match while hosting a party? Please respect the Brazilian people." Other netizens pointed out that Nima and Messi are good friends as well as teammates at Paris Saint-Germain, but their performances are worlds apart.
