Glimpse in to your future Arsenal.

Good. Irrational, but I just dislike him.

I dislike all players who put the balon d'or on a par with or higher than club or country trophies. And dislike Neymar more than Ronaldo because he has that attitude without showing that he's good enough to deserve it.

Why did Neymar need to fake the injury there?

He's played in La Liga. It comes as second nature.

Obviously a quality player but i don’t think Neymar is clearly the 3rd best player in the world behind Messi & Ronaldo that he is made out to be...absolute global marketing superpower definitely but i’m not convinced he will clean up every year at the Balon D’or once the other two retire.

Switzerland are a very poor team. This is hardly a competition.

 

[werty]

That could have been hilarious from Alisson.

[Setzthree]

Lol, that shot

 

[hughy]

And again Neymar. Get up you prick.

He's not even Brazil's best player. His hype and profile baffles me. He's clearly a good player, but he's not amazing. He's hardly on David Beckham levels of model like marketability, so where does the brand appeal come from? And I know it's throughout the game, but his play acting and gamesmanship is wearying... Diving and looking for cards in friendlys and Olympic matches?

Nah, a good many players i rate higher.

Bloke dressed as a panini sticker. Fucking love it.

Brazil have done fuck all since scoring, look a bit half arsed off the ball...they'll win this comfortably because they've got plenty of goals in em but a better side would be causing them all sorts of problems...

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I keep thinking I'm watching Sweden. Its the blue shorts.

Xhaka's passing range is impressive. He can over hit it by anywhere between 5 and 20 yards.

 

[Lennon1981]

Anyone else have Coutinho to score from outside the box with skybet? Wish I’d stuck more than £5 on now but can grumble with £40 return.

Also had Coutinho and Neymar to score and xhaka and Lichtenstein to be carded £5 will win £350... 2 down just need Neymar to score and and the dirty fucker xhaka to be carded ????

 

[hughy]

Just looked in to whoever the fuck the Swiss CF is. Most goals he's ever scored in a season is 11.

Is that really the best CF the 6th highest ranked nation in the world can offer up?

 

[VegasII]

First match I've seen of this World Cup. So far so dull.

Dreadful blouse on Chicken Tonight.

Bloke dressed as a panini sticker. Fucking love it.

His wife will probably try and swap him when he gets home.

 

[Lawrence]

Neymar's insistence on dwelling on the ball is testament to his swollen ego. Irritating.
