He and others do that all the time. It's something that is constantly bitched about in other matches. It's not illogical, it happens often. Come on now.

Neymar made a move to beat his man,


I thought he should of took a first touch shot before cutting back, but I believe he cut back thinking he would get taken down and get the PK. That is why the dive was so obvious, he expected to get mauled and when he didn't he had no choice but to flop.

I understand, I wish the US would have qualified, but Im not going to melt about it like many of the posters here.

He very clearly did exactly that.


You saw like everyone else that he was moving away from the defender and the defender put his arm across to impede him.

The contact happened, and it impeded his progress. True or False?

That contact will never be called. You would have to call a PK on 99.9% of possessions in the box.

False, he never attempted to push through, he just flopped. So no impediment happened.

Yes. He probably thought his odds at making a shot from twelve yards away with the keeper on the line was much better than taking a shot from 8 yards away with the keeper and 3 defenders in your way.

So it’s true that there was contact and he was impeded after beating his man. IMO that’s a foul, regardless of the amount of contact.

I mean, the defender 100% knew he was beat and 100% reached out with his arm to block Neymar. The contact was made, and it worked.
I’m surprised to learn that y’all dont consider that a penalty, but I accept it, even though it’s clearly mostly because y’all dont like the player.

what a valiant effort from the costa rica side to counter the masterful brasilian effort. what a match. blissful finish for those backing brasil, but such agony for costa rica.

3 defenders, huh? #6 became part of the play because Neymar stopped/was stopped

He was still going to be in the area and was someone that needed to be accounted for. Looking at the video, he was absolutely a player that could have helped block a shot toward the far post. It was also a poor angle to take the shot from.

Poor angle, a minimum of 3 opposing players in the way.

I'd prefer to take my chances from the spot.

That dude needs to just put his keyboard away if he thinks that was a penalty.

He seemed more frustrated that the ref had been letting him get abused all game than focused on burying the goal.
He should have just shot.

But, there is a difference in being physical to fight for the ball and being goons pulling people down when you get beat.
In this instance, the contact was minor. But it's mostly the accumulation of transgressions prior to this play that result in him choosing to embellish the contact.

Well, you're wrong. If it was a foul, the PK would have stood.

Because Neymar dove.

Well, some of us have actually played the game.

Or it's just because he goes down in a slight gust of wind. That wasn't the first "contact" he tried to sell in the game.

Just checking in to express how thrilled I am that a concacaf team has gone down.
