No doubt, I almost thought he was Chinese for a second.

You would probably be lol'ing at your own club, but yes I would laugh too watching a 130 lb kid with a wet dog on top of his head play with the likes of Nigel de Jong and big arse per mertesacker

Yeah Neymar flops too much. Maybe he will grow out of it. But many of soccers biggest stars have always been floppers.. In every league

No doubt, just the primadonna nature of most elite athletes today.

Part of the reason I and so many others like messi more than the other big ones.

Of course he flops some, but he also stays on his feet through a shite ton of challenges.

I just watched the entire game again.

Many of the comments on here are a joke. Neymar only went down once the entire first half. He was tripped, he didn't go down by himself. The card was a bad call but that is the refs problem , not Neymars. In this half he also DIndnt hit the ground twice when fouls were called on the players defending him.

He hit the ground twice i'n the second half. Both were light hits but no where near ( Ronaldo Christiano complete air fall downs ). Neymar is very thin, it can't be hard to knock him down.


During this game I also counted Honduras players going down 9 times on very questionable light hits. Honduras also played very dirty for much of the last 30 minutes.

I don't understand some of the contrived hate for Brazil.

Is that the time he reached back and intentionally kicked the defender so he could go down and draw the bs red?

It's because Every.Single.Time that neymar gets fouled, even if it's a light touch that he could easily pull his leg back up and keep running, he lifts both legs off the turf, falls to his knees, makes an o face, grabs his face or leg, and rolls 2-4 times depending on how hard the actual hit was.

What are you talking about? I watched the play 4 times and it was a trip. Not worthy of a card, but that's the refs fault.

Not every time. He stayed on his feet for at least 2 fouls called against the players defending him, which is better than some players who hit the ground everytime.

The whole rolling around on the ground problem is a soccer problem, not a Neymar problem, and it was displayed more by Honduras i'n this match than Brazil.
