Neymar Watch

LOL. He is so young and came to a completely new league. He is a victim of stupid business managers that put a huge price on him and he somehow has to justify.

IMHO he was great, bar his finishing that could be symptom of a pressure he is in. What i really dislike about him is his diving. I mean com on, he is putting the likes of Pepe, Alba and Di Maria to shame.

injured for a month it seems.

European football taking a toll on his body, will get used to it.

Hope he is fit for the World Cup

neymar is the subject of the comparison here . and he compared him to 2 madrid players and only one from barça.

it's deliberate. he could've mentioned busquets , mascherano , alves, pedro etc... but found a way to mention two madrid players .( pepe is not even a frequent diver )

since when has mascherano been a diver, all he does is overly aggressive sliding tackles and stupid nudges that should of resulted in penalties.

every team has divers in the past classico/derbies alone Ronaldo, Pepe (Especially), Di Maria have been caught diving just as much as the barca players you named, possibly more. it is expected from both teams not just one, it's delusion if you see it one sided.

RM players dive just as much as Barca players (if not more). It's just that Barca has been dominating football in past 4-5 years and people seam to notice it more. I picked the worst case divers IMO. Your opinion might differ. IMO Busi is not a diver per se, more of a playactor, while Pepe has it all - diving, playacting, bitching, aggression etc. Di Maria does both, so does Alba. Neymar is currently on top of all of them, though Pepe might disagree. Just my opinion!

EDIT: Alves is like Busi, though he tends to exaggerate and perhaps dive slightly more than him. Again, this is just my opinion that I formed trying to be as subjective as I can, but I might be influenced as every fan here.

.

barça has more high profile cases of diving than other teams tho.

I think his complaint is that you mentioned one Barcelona player and two Real players to make a comparison instead of being "fair". Not really an issue but that's my take on it.

On topic, I really hope Neymar is fit for the WC.

There is a clear origin for Pepe's diving. He is Alves' Frankenstein more than anything else.

While Neymar and Busquets are divers by blood, Pepe is just a satirical figure, offering a Satresque reflection for Neymar and Busquets to burn in.

That makes no sense whatsoever! Pepe dives blatantly, even more than anyone else (well Neymar is aiming for his title and he probably won it). You cant justify his diving. I might say there is clear origin in Busi's diving, and I might have some nice arguments.

Busi's diving is really clever, he does not dive without a contact (almost never), so 50% of his "dives" we will never know for sure what they are, while guys like Neymar, Di Maria and Pepe just plainly dive.

IMO right now among Barca and RM these are the most blatant divers Neymar, Pepe, Di Maria and Alba. Several years ago I would have had CR7 in top 2, but he improved. He is in Alves-Busi level now. So all in all, both teams have divers a ton, and as i said Barca is just more noticeable because Barca was raping everyone for some time. Just wait if Bayern win another CL, you'll hear about the new most epic divers and cheaters ever!

I know it's easy to spillover into other topics guys, but please remember this is the Neymar thread! Thanks for your cooperation.

Cristiano Ronaldo believes Barcelona starlet Neymar could become the best player in the world.

The Catalans signed the 22-year-old from Santos for an estimated €87.2 million and he has scored nine league goals and picked up eight assists in his first 25 games for the club.

Despite Real Madrid's intense rivalry with the reigning Liga champions, Ronaldo thinks that the Brazil international will blossom into one of the world's elite stars.

"I see Neymar as a great player," he told SporTV News. "I think in recent times he has proven be a player with a great future.

"His adaptation into Barcelona was not the best, he had some problems at first, but I have no doubt that he has the potential to be one of the best players in the world or even the very best player in the world."

The 29-year-old was then asked about his country's hopes for this summer's World Cup in Brazil and he feels Portugal have been drawn in the hardest group in the competition, facing Germany, Ghana and USA.

"We're not the favourites," he said. "But we will try to enjoy it. We know that we have a complicated group, in my opinion it's the strongest in the World Cup.

"We have to go step by step. We have a big game against the Germans first and then we play Ghana and the United States to pass the group stage. Then we'll see."

Neymar is Barca's savior.   

Big game player already at just 21. Took Ronaldo and Messi years to finally perform for their NT's.

He's 22, get your facts straight for once

dat leadership.3 more goals and he will be by far the favorite to earn golden boot

golden boot and golden ball incoming

1 World Cup game. More WC goals than Messi and Ronaldo. DAT Nerman.

Didn't even play well. DOSE brainless 1 on 1 take-ons in his own half.

Meh Neymar as good as won the golden boot. He'll definitely score against Mexico and Cameroon. With at least 4 goals from the groups he should comfortably take it.











































Unless someone scores a hatrrick in one of the other matchday 1 games Then I take back what I said up there

I guess I overestimated your intelligence if you have ruled out Fernando Torres ingeniously acute ability to fish out a Golden Boot for himself in any circumstance.

Torres will score hattrick vs Australia.

3rd goal at the 94th mintue in Spain 3-0 win over Croatia on the last 16.

Penalty in the quarter final.

Will then win Golden Boot as he played lesser minutes.

A replay of Neymar's penalty run up

If Neymar wants to win the Golden boot he'll have to somehow go past king Jelavic who's a sure bet to score 6 goals in the next 2 games.

Hattrick

Messi finally getting his assists he deserves with a proper finisher.. no more mehdro
