He is getting fouled a fair bit though Finners, that said he is also making the most of some challenges 

 

Yeah but Hazard, Messi, Modric, Isco, plenty of little players get the shit kicked out of them on a regular basis and they just take the foul, get up and get on with it. 

 

Neymar acts like it's an afront to all that's just and jumps on the ground writhing in pretend agony any time someone challenges him. It's ****ing pathetic.

Brazil don't look quite right somehow. Great players, but not quite a team It's becoming a bit of a theme in this World Cup.

They have had a good 20 minute spell but still not looking their best in fairness

 

its a wide open World Cup

 

genuinely think a “surprise” team could win it this year

Making the most of it (or trying) I would agree and not great to watch 

 

that said I can’t believe how the refs are not giving out more yellow cards. Players are getting hacked and nothing given? Giving licence to the dodgy roughhouse teams to kick the shit out of others

People have been whinging for years that tackling has gone out the game. 

 

Don't start moaning now you've got a world cup where defenders have a licence to get stuck in lol

I agree. I think we could have a first-time winner next month. Or a second-time one ;)

You didn’t watch 4 years ago then? They were poor by Brazil standards

 

Only once they got to the semi-finals. Then they really lost their shit.

They weren't this bad, in the Group Stage anyway.

Is Neymar really all that? 

 

Yes. He's a great footballer, as is Messi, as is Ronaldo. 

 

Do people not get bored of making the same stupid judgements every major tournament when X big name player doesn't win it single handedly? 

 

Yeah, let's ignore the fact he's ludicrously gifted and has won champions leagues and domestic titles left right and center and call him shit because his national team - which plays a handful of games every year - isn't stacked with world class players. 

 

How have people still not learned that in 2018 the team is way more powerful than the individual? Its why so many games are low scoring and defensive now because how compact and organised and together you are is more significant than ever. 

 

The flip side of that is the individual is less significant than ever. 

 

People talk about Ronaldo carrying Portugal in the euros but that's hugely unfair. They also had a ridiculously solid, compact, defensive, hard to beat team that were going to shit house their way through whatever it took. 

 

Argentina and Brazil don't have that and judging Messi and Neymar for that is simply stupid.
