So, we have some years until next world cup, and since many here looked like they enjoyed talking about it, i brought something to talk about.

What Happened:
So, recently Neymar tryed a "rainbow flick" (i think this is the name) in the end of a match against Athletic de Bilbao. The Athletic player, that failed to avoid the move, pushed Neymar down and a uproar started. Neymar received yellow card for trying it.

Sides:
Athletic players and the judge saw that as a attempt to humiliate them. Barcelona was already winning 3-1 and only 5 minutes left, so there was no "need" for that.

On the other hand, many people highlighted he was going toward the goal and you can't condemn a player for that. Others say it is the players job to entertain the audience, and hard/risky moves are exactly what they want to see.

Many even see Athletic answer as the reprehensible one. While Neymar tryed nothing illegal, he was pushed and physically provoked/harassed, and that's way more serious.

 

What do you think?
