Talked too much, cheated at football and left starving kids to well starve. And now he is going home.

And probably much better. Coutinho has been their best player.If you take him out of that Brazil team, it suddenly becomes much more likeable.
Hopefully we don't see him again in the next world cup. Unless he's changed.Does anyone think it's likely that Neymar at the next WC, at the ripe old age of 30 will still be a top player? Clearly an extra 4 years doesn't make him any less of a tool.
It'd be fine to some extent if he only reacted when he really should get the decision. Like Henderson going down after the headbutt the other day - sure he did it theatrically but ultimately he had to make sure the referee did look at something which did actually happen. I was fine with that. He also didn't roll around like he had a career ending injury for two minutes.What was there first, the chicken or the egg? If you ask me, he gets fouled that much because he toys with defenders through his skill moves and they feel like having to punish him for humiliating them. His antics are a direct reaction to that. He fakes injures, wines and rolls on the floor because he wants them to be sanctioned accordingly. He is after all the most fouled player in the world right now. And often these tackles are really, really dirty but nobody talks about that.
Expect him.to have burnt out by then.Does anyone think it's likely that Neymar at the next WC, at the ripe old age of 30 will still be a top player? Clearly an extra 4 years doesn't make him any less of a tool.
The biggest change is Brazil is pretty rubbish now. You had at least 3 players in 2002 who were considerably better than their best player now in Neymar.Good riddance.
There are some excellent players in the Brazil team. Marcelo, Willian and Coutinho etc but Neymar is just too detestable for me to be rooting for them.
I remember telling a friend of mine, as we were watching Brazil play their first WC game in 2002, that the World Cup doesn't start until you see the famous yellow-blue-white combo playing their first game. I was a fan.
That changed a little when Rivaldo decided his face was hurt when the ball hit his midrift.
I think since then, they've slowly become more unlikeable. Not playing good football, kicking Colombia off the field in 2014 etc.
It's all come to a head this World Cup with all this Neymar nonsense.
I agree with neymar's case . He is detestable but take him out brazil are likeable and will always many neutrals favourites. Yes what rivaldo did was a joke but other teams have done such a pity things, aka CR7 sending Rooney off in 06 world cup or Italians dirty tricks on many occasion to knock other teams out or henry scoring with his hand to knock Ireland out in wc playoffs. You cannot generalize Brazilian players because of rivaldo or neymar.Good riddance.
