Neymar watched Brazil's Copa America Centenario opener in the stands with Jamie Foxx

Neymar was barred by Barcelona from playing for Brazil at Copa America Centenario. But that didn't mean he wouldn't be there for his team.

That's why when Brazil took to the pitch at the Rose Bowl for their tournament opener, Neymar was up in a box watching. And he was agonizing over every near miss. With Jamie Foxx.

Barcelona told Neymar he could only play in one tournament for Brazil this summer and, along with the national team, he chose to play in the Olympics instead of Copa America. That means he has the month of June off, but he's not quite going to run out on his Selecao teammates. He'll still support them, and live and die with their every play.

Neymar is just going to do all of that in LA, wearing all white, in a sleeveless shirt and sitting next to Foxx. Sounds about right.
