VillaChris Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 He should've got a yellow in first place for delaying the Mexico throw in. Yellow and he'd have been out for Belgium game which would've taught him far more of a lesson than being stamped on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona is remembered both as a genius and a scumbag. For what it's worth I think part of what sets Messi apart from the likes of Neymar is that he shrugs most challenges off. I swear if Neymar just beat the player instead of falling down he'd be a much better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neymar won't be scoring goals like Maradona did in 1986 against England and Belgium. I also think at times that Brazil might be a bit better without Neymar slowing up play with his constant diving and searching for fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play acting like that is simply not acceptable, should be a red card offence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 He hasnt scored but Jesus having a good tournament, he is creating the space for the 3 behind him to thrive or in Neymar case dive Brazil are like Spain in 2010, solid it at back and can nick a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Messi, to his credit he isn't one to dive. Neymar I would quite happily see have his leg snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on Beeb 1 it's Simon Brotherton and Martin Keown I think. It's been so annoying on the Beeb that when we don't get subjected to Lawro we get a hefty dose of Keown or Phil Neville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
