    NEYMAR WAS BORN WITH GLASS BONES & PAPER SKIN Every morning he breaks his legs & every afternoon he breaks his arms. At night, he lays in agony until his heart attacks put him to sleep.

    He hasn’t looked like he’s really been in proper shape in awhile. I could see this coming.

    Which makes me respect the general fitness of Ronaldo and Messi even more. Flamboyant dribblers do not have long selves life in this age.

      ronaldo hasn’t completed a dribble in a decade

      (still very impressive fitness of course, no argument there)

        This took me out. Just because it was one of the last things I was expecting to read 😄

        It’s odd this dribbling ability just fell off a cliff

      They have great general fitness, but I don’t think there’s a thematic crossover here

    What is frustrating is, I, ME, I never knew when Neymar really got injured, because there was so much diving and all the bullshit. Really sad to see him out with an ACL, speedy recovery.

      Sad reality. Every one of the latest brazilian offensive superstars, actually. Neymar, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Ronaldo, Rivaldo… All of them for different reasons, but all of them fell of a cliff at 31 or earlier

      How do Argentinian players fare? Geographically so close but are the football styles ever so slightly different that the Argentina players age more gracefully? Obviously the current squad is pretty young. But go a few years back.

      I mean I don’t even have to discuss La Pulga but look at Di Maria, Dybala, Perez, Masche, Otamendi, etc

    That’s why it wasn’t a good idea to any European club to pay that amount of money to get him. He is too injury prone and now in his 30s he has already reached his cealing.

    Bro is literally made of paper. But no one should be celebrating this we miss out on seeing such talent that Neymar possesses, I feel bad for him no one deserves something like this
