It's a matter of character. He doesn't have one Nice guys don't make elite sportspeople. You have to have a certain cuntishness about you to truly reach the top.

Orzelek Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 2 hours ago, PMLF said: It's always like this: 2010 - Brazil is not sympathetic because of Dunga's style 2014 - Brazil is not sympathetic because they think they have already won due to playing at home and because Neymar and Daniel Alves dive 2018 - Brazil is not sympathetic because of Neymar and other players diving. The issue is that people think of Brazil as we were in 1970 or 1982. I've never been a huge fan of Brazil, but this is the first time that I actually don't like them. And it's mostly because of Neymar. I actually was fine with him in his first 3 seasons at Barcelona, but it seems like the Olympic gold went to his head, Afnd the PSG move has made him more or less insufferable.

ArsenalFan7 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Sorry to be positive about him but Neymar's golden ball stock surely gone up after that. Brilliant assist at the end (I know Ochoa got a touch but regardless) and he was pretty great today antics aside. Couple more performances like that in the knockouts and Brazil lifting the cup (as I suspect they will) and Neymar surely takes it on merit over Coutinho, which would be impressive after how average he was in the groups.

Razzler Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Neymar will never wins the 'hearts & minds' of global football fans behaving how he does. I mean, Ronaldo likes a dive but Neymar is next level. Yes, the guy left a little something on him, get up and get in his face, there isn't a player that best fits the word 'fanny' as Neymar does. In the slow mo replay there was even a split second where the guy did it and Neymar looked at him and you could see his mind turning over and he looks at the guy with an expression of 'oh, mate, I'm am totally going to get you in trouble now'. The pounding the ground in agony really took it over the edge. He is all that is wrong with 'modern football' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

English players have dived in the past and I feel exactly the same way about that. It's a disgrace no matter who does it, though Neymar's antics go way beyond anything else I've seen at this WC. It isn't needed and it's cheating. Brazil are getting negative headlines around the world for that cheats behaviour.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44689926 There's no need for it. If they win this WC, the victory will be tarnished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I hate diving, even if our players do it but there's a whole different category for players that do what Neymar did, it was Rivaldo-esque in it git-ness.

Yes, the mentality has always been to win at all costs. So it doesn't matter if we simulate and dive, if we win by 1-0 or 5-0, if we play beautiful football or pragmatic football. What matters is if whatever we do brings the title in the end. People abroad have the romantic idea that we play football because we love the game, but we really play to win. This is also why our fans tend to turn against their teams if their teams don't win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you there isn't a single player in the current England squad who hasn't exaggerated contact, feigned injury, claimed for a throw in/goalkick/corner that they knew wasn't there's at some point in their career to help them win. By your logic you should have no respect for any of them either. You certainly shouldn't be going on about Spurs signing Grealish who loves to dive and milk contract...

They're not booking people for it still though, that's the problem. It's like nudge-wink, try to deceive me and if they don't get away with it, it's like 'you naughty boy' and they carry on. Not getting booked means Neymar, for instance, will do it again and again and for sure he'll be successful at some point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
