With a Brazil jersey painted across his bare upper body, 14-year-old Kevar Edwards celebrated every Brazil victory by leading a jubilant march through the streets of West Kingston, dancing and chanting and jeering opponents.

But on Sunday, following Brazil’s defeat to Norway, Kevar found himself standing on the sidelines as rival supporters staged a “funeral march” to mark the end of Brazil’s 2026 World Cup journey.

“I got painted about 2:30 [p.m.] yesterday (Sunday). This is like my third time being painted because I expected my side to win the match yesterday,” he told THE STAR.
