Have you not learned anything form this site and it's mob mentality.If enough people says it then it must be true,right?

He did get stepped on but he overreacted greatly.

Yeah sure sure, and thus he deserves a yellow card and the other one a pat in the back right?

If defenders weren't hitting Neymar at every play he wouldn't have had any space to do any "acting".

Watched all games and more often than not every player passing near Neymar would give him a hit.

You seem to ignore the fact that there is a difference between falling, and playing a shakespearian masterpiece while falling.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Must be...

Neymar on the first game, suffered more faults than any single player in any single wordcup game on history... but it is all neymar acting.

If any of they had ever really played for real they would know that Neymar "soft body" is a protection against all the hard play against him. You need to let your body light before receiving a malicious play so you won't get hurt. You only try to endure and keep going if there is a better chance to make a goal by enduring than doing a trainned play on the free kick.

All I see is people envious of Neymar success (I don't even like him) and Brazil titles plus a lot of lack of knowledge.

It's not just Neymar, soccer as a whole has everybody over-exaggerating when they get hit. 

Yep mot players over react small hits, so singling Neymar who was hit all the time is silly.

Players going on him with malicious intent and them pretending they didn't do anything wrong is even worse on my opinion.

And there is a difference bettwen fairplay, normal dispute and malicious fault... but curiously some preffer to complain about neymar playing when falling instead of people hitting him all the time to stop the game.

Fearing the vulnerable and slow Belgium? The one who lost to Wales on the Euros? Lol

eh, not as bad as conceding 7 in a World Cup semi final in front of your own fans...

So...? We rebounded from that loss and got a lot better, but I can’t say the same about Belgium since the last Euros.

We would never lose to the kind of teams Belgium does... so I was answering to him that there is nothing to fear. If anything, it’s the rookie Belgium, who never won anything that should fear us.

The team to fear is France, not Belgium.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Holy cow Neymar is such a cunt! Looking at this cry baby and how he rapes this sport makes me angry.

I think the rules need to be changed so that extreme faking like this can be punished with a yellow card.

Faking penalties get you a yellow card...

And Fifa can punish you out of the game if they see fit.

Still FIFA rulled Neymar best player in the field.

Yes, a dive can get you yellow, but how is this relevant here? Was it anywhere close to the Mexican goal? 

What Neymar did goes against anything what this sport stands for. It's unfair and only intends to make him look like the victim. It's the worst kind of behavior.

Does Neymar get hit more than most players? Yes
Does he overreact? Yes
Is it valid? Yes

Good from Brazil, mature gameplan, very effective

Agreed. He overreacts, but it’s not like most players wouldn’t do the same if they were chased.

Btw, 2 South American teams already on the quarterfinals, and tomorrow we’ll have another one. If Chile was here instead of Peru, we’d have 4.

So if you're going to doubt them due to performance in a previous tournament then Brazil getting annihilated by Germany is just as relevant as Belgium losing to Wales.

Besides, Belgium have rebounded from that much better than Brazil. They won all but 1 game in World Cup qualifying since then. While since the 2014 World Cup Brazil have been humbled in 2 separate Copa Americas by Paraguay, Ecuador & Peru.

Seems like you don’t follow Brazil. Since we got a somewhat decent coach (2016) we’ve been asking for years, because 99% of our coaches suck, we humbled big teams and haven’t lost any match since then, except one friendly with our B team. We also played against better teams than Belgium since then while at that. Belgium has a long road to go before Brazil having to “fear” them.
