He was actually. FIFA originally selected him for this World Cup, but then he decided to go off and train some arabs instead. In 2016 he refereed the FA Cup Final, the Champions League Final and the Euro 2016 Final, so he's not too shabby a ref, in all fairness.
Anyhoo, back to the matter in...
He was off the pitch anyway. Just play on FFS.
I see the bedraggled little scrote has even managed to embarrass himself into a normal haircut, after the worldwide ridicule there was to that malnourished dead sheep he had hanging off his swede in the first game.
Neymar is one of those odious...
I don't think I've ever seen as much faking in a World Cup. Its been a great tournament overall, but the sheer amount of playacting has been on another level to anything I've ever seen before.
If we somehow stay in the PL for 10 years I don't think I'll ever take it for granted. Regularly seeing some of the best players on the planet on a pitch in front of me, I have to pinch meself sometimes.
Beats dishing out dogs abuse to Scott McGleish dunnit (fun though it was).
Sadly with many talented players, cheating is simply ingrained, its instinct. Its default.
I've just sat here watching Neymar writhing around (once again) in faux-agony. Cavani for Uruguay, a monumentally talented striker who thrilled me with two stupendous strikes at the weekend, yet he'll go...
Willian. Lovely player, him and Hazard absolutely tore us a new one at the Amex. Their performances were only bettered by Coutinho IMO, who gave probably the greatest individual performance by an opposition player I think I have ever seen.
Blimey, isn't it great talking about these players...
