How would Neymar have coped with the absolutely horrendous physical assaults that Pele endured in the 66 world cup?

About as well as a Pele did. Kicked out of the tournament by the hatchet men. We saw in 1970 what he could do though.

The real shame of it is that kids watch their idol and think that it is acceptable to dive like him.

I thought Jack Wilshere was bad, but if there was a world record for game time spent on your arse then Neymar just smashed it.

That's odd I think its been great as the whipping boys are no longer. Much better organised and all have quality no easy pushovers. You should be working for ITV/BBC who gush at the big teams and choke when praising a lessor nation.

No, it's a shite World Cup so far. Even worse than Italia '90 as I mentioned.

It’s sad you feel like that. I’m 50 so seen plenty and I’m enjoying it

I really enjoyed last night and although I'm biased it was in the top three of:

1. Spain 3-3 Portugal.
2. Tunisia 1-2 England.
3. Peru 0-1 Denmark.

Other than that it's been cautious and spoilt by VAR. Plenty of time to turn this into a fantastic World Cup though. Could it be like Italia '90 when England almost won it but the tournament was short on goals? I'll settle for that (or England winning it!) :)

Mexico was superb, if they hadn't lost their heads in the final third Germany would have been stuffed.
VAR is stopping a lot of "off the ball" stuff.

A couple of games have been disappointing. France are still playing the old style of throwing themselves on the floor and rolling over, but lets face they've done that a lot in history, two World wars for instance.

He's not even the best Argentinian player to have ever lived.



Maradona did in 1986. He won the World Cup on his own. And the Italian league really

I was going to say all of this. You could also argue that even in his own generation, Ronaldo has done everything Messi has done, AND whilst he wasn't the one-man team Maradona was in '86, he has been part of a team that won a major tournament. So anyone who says Messi is the greatest is a) wrong and b) didn't ever see Maradona play.

Really!?

And there's me thinking he never played for a European football club during an era where there was minimal football tv coverage in South America. Surely the majority of the footballing world have never seen him play?

What makes you think he's the greatest player ever apart from football stats? From the very little I've seen, he didn't seem to have that elegance and poise on the ball like Cruyff and Zidane were blessed with. He also didn't seem to have that dribbling ability Messi and Maradona had. And I doubt he orchestrated games like Zidane and Cruyff did. Pele seems to be a name people regard highly in football, but most people are basing this opinion on what others claim because, like I said, not many people have actually seen too much of him.

When did you see him play and do you rate him higher than Stanley Matthews and Cliff Basten?

Saw a lovely stat yesterday, that Neymar has spent longer laying on the floor (14 minutes) during this World Cup, than Danny Wellbeck (11 mins) has spent on the pitch. :lol:

What an absolute BELL.

This is an idea of how far he fell

As you can see he was 60 kms from the finish, and got back on his bike.

The idiot rode 60kms with a broken kneecap.

If only there was a reason for choosing a Neymar thread :lol:

And cyclists wonder why car drivers get so irate with them.

If you can't control a bike, you shouldn't be on the road. It's as simple as that.

I'm assuming I picked up the right point about this...

Falling down a ravine is too good for the likes of them.

What did he expect. You can clearly see him riding on the both sides of the road. Typical cyclist riding without due care.

6 seconds in , looks as if he has swerved to avoid litter in the road

Probably an empty can of Red Bull thrown of the car window by a fat rep while on the way to his next 'oh so important' meeting.
