Neymar

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

That was one lucky trick, but I agree.

That is one of the reasons I think he must go to Manure or Barcelona. If he gets a bad tackle Ferguson and the media will cry and make a huge fuss out of it and he will then be protected by the refs...

I do want him here though, he is playing more on the right side now. Hazard + Mata + Neymar / Ba ??? :eyebrows:

See if Neymar put a bit of muscle on, I'd have him upfront leading the line.. Moses - Mata - Hazard / Neymar

We are not very good at making players build msucle, have you seen Pato and Robinho before and after?

I have no more likes (otherwise you would have 3 already)!

That kid is goooooooood, I wonder why there arent people screamming for him. This is the first time I see him (not bored for the next 30min anymore, lol).

Neymar is fucking awesome too, but no one needs to be better than the other!

[robsblubot 3,595]

Interesting player from the videos above, but concerning Neymar, it isn't his skills that impress people, but his finishing; he is able to complete his very skillful plays providing assists or applying the finish himself, which happens more often than not.

LOOOOL, SO DUMB!

THIS IS NOT BRAZILIAN LEAGUE, THIS IS PAULISTAO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THIS TEAM ISNT EVEN IN THE FOURTH DIVISION (LOWEST)...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do agree with most parts though (apart from the France and Belgium delusion)!

Brazil will be a beast in 2018, get real. Lucas, Oscar, Ganso, Neymar, Romulo, Willian, Paulinho, Arouca, Dante, Luiz, etc. Just wait, this is a transition period. No more Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Adriano, Robinho, etc; but new players are comming. We produce shit loads of players, there will always be, at least, a good team. The worse teams in our history are still better than half of what most countries have ever produced!

I also think Slovenia will be a finished product and rule the world, but you know, that is just me.

Isnt Botafogo in Serie A? Or is that other Botafogo?

Also, Belgium and France do have loads of talents and they are actualy already playing in much better leagues than Brasil serie a is. Courtois, Kompany, Verthongen, Hazard, Witsel, Mertens, DeBruyne, Lukaku, Benteke and Mirallas are big talents.

While France always have shit loads of talents (like Brasil), but they are very cocky and blow their potential because of drugs,...Brasil is not different. Lot of great talent, but in last ten years, they are doing extremely bad (no disrespect). Ronaldinho was no more world class after age of 28, Adriano blew his career of because of drugs (and he could be best striker of last ten years), Robinho never filled potential, Ganso and Pato got injuries and never recovered (but they still have chance), Hulk could be big thing, but nothing came after all. France also have some big talent like Pogba (19yo who is ripping Serie A right now), Varane (19yo almost a starter for Real under Mourinho?!), Mavinga, Haidara, Digne, Grenier, Cabella, Lacazette, Saivet, Niang, Coquelin, Fofana, Benzia, Zouma...

Not saying that Brasil doesnt have great talents, but their mentality has changed over the last 10 years. Oscar, Lucas and Neymar have most chances to suceed...

Yes, that is another Botafogo, Botafog-SP. Botafogo (RJ) has a black uniform, this one has a red and white strip uniform.

We have (in the beginning of the season) some stupid regional tournaments. There are a lot of reasons why we have them (I am against it, but who am I): we didnt have technology (1900s-1940s) to be travelling around a country that has the size of Europe, so the only tournaments we had were between teams from the same states (Paulista (SP), Carioca (RJ), Gaucho (RS), etc). When we finally had means to do a big tournament (1950s-1990s), those small tournaments became cool and traditional and the fans wanted to win only because of local rivalry (imagine having a London tournament every August, wouldnt it be cool to trash QPR every season?), so they kept it going. Right now (1990s-2010s), people dont like it anymore and they view it as a stupid tournament that only harm the players (injuries, fatigue, etc). Football has gotten too professional for such small tournaments. It still happens every year because some teams only survive due to the TV money that comes with it (Botafogo-SP, for instance). Their season budget is less than Neymar makes per month, they are worse than a pub team.

Neymar is not even playing serious, he wouldnt be so snob during a decent match!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I havent said Belgium and France were shit, I said they wont rule the world!

For me, they must pull off a Spain (2 Euros and 1 WC) or a Brazil (3 WCs and 3 Copa America) to be considered "Rulers of the World". I do think they will become huge title contenders, but that is another discussion...

Swansea were linked with him, he played for Liverpools youth academy I think... he was born 30 mins away from where I stay haha. Wee Gary Mackay-Stevens and his skills!

Yea, Belgium won't rule the world of football, the talent we have now is a fluke really. Although some claim the U19 are more talented than this generation. Would be pretty crazy if true considering there's as much people in Belgium as there are in London =)

[communicate 2,703]

Neymar is class but overcomplicates everything, see if Roy Keane was still playing and he played against Neymar I have a funny feeling Neymar would never play again.... due to a heavy tackle which would be intended likely.... hahaha imagine Neymar trying to rainbow flick Roy Keane, he'd end up stretchered off

Lol ya he really needs to tone down his trick a little bit, I can see a nasty defender will just do a hard tackle when neymar does his fancy tricks

I think belgium current crop is just fantastic. In international tournament like WC, it all comes down to DEFENSE, belgium has Kompany,vermaalen,vertonghen + Fellaini/ I forget who is the zenit player. and offensively you got hazard,mirallas, dembele =))

That is why I don't see Argentina winning WC, lol everybody said Messi has super team (aguero,di maria, higuain) . It really does not matter, their defense is just so bad

Well thanks for explanation, even I didnt think that Belgium or France have potential to be next spain and win everything possible, but they surely will be contenders for titles in next euros and WCs. And maybe even higher than brasil, but I dont see in the future...

tradition does matter! Besides many of the Belgium players are on the young side, which makes it very difficult at the world cup. Just consider how few winners we've got and how long it has taken for Spain to break into this very selective group.

Personally I don't really buy tradition. It's all come down to players and of course luck. and I agree that most belgium players are still too young for 2014 but I like their players

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Most teams that win CL/Euros also have superb goalkeeper. Casillas, Buffon, Barthez,...Courtois is on good way to become such gk.

I recommend a book called soccernomics then.

It may present some interesting facts; they even attempted to measure the effect of tradition and weight it in when talking about, say England for example.

Regardless, a very good read.

NEYMAR ON HIS WAY TO ENGLAND

BRAZIL superstar Neymar could be coming to the Premier League after the World Cup next year.

Chelsea have made repeated efforts to land the striker, who turned 21 yesterday, through his international agent Pini Zahavi, who has strong links with the Blues.

And Chelsea’s Brazil stars Oscar, David Luiz and Ramires have been persuading Neymar to join them in west London.

Unproven Child who shits in a league where Clerance Seedorf has 13 goals.

Hype he has is really unjustified. He's young and I won't past judgement on his ability until he can do it on the grandest of stages.

[Stingray 9,441]

Well,

Too soon to write him off, I say. He definitely has got potential and skill - as seen in the National team. I do believe he will get a beating (literally !! )here in his first year, but if he takes it like a man and learns from it .... he could also be the next big thing!

ps: I don't know, but Neymar gets my 'scouting-antennes' all fired up somehow ... We will see ! I personally think if he is coached well on the psychological/mental front, he will blossom.
