Is Neymar That Good?

[bibblebub]

He's the golden boy of Brazil football and, yes, he does score some goals but in the few games of his that I have watched he doesn't come close to dominating a game in the way that great players can. Ronaldo and especially Messi can do that at the present time but Neymar?

[joeluke]

Not in the same league as Messi/Ronaldo

[royfromaus]

He has only been a bit player at Barcelona. Great scoring record for Brazil, but as yet I would agree with your sentiments. (He is only 22 though)

[Mick-the-Miller]

He stands out in a fairly average team.

I sgree he's nowhere near the class of Messi or Ronaldo.

[bibblebub]

phew, it's a relief to find that one's judgement isn't out of kilter with others

[bibblebub]

Come on, Colombia, you can do it...

This is the situation in which a world-class player would come to the fore.

[royfromaus]

James Rodríguez is the classiest player on the pitch.

[bibblebub]

how do they know that Neymar is injured? he's been invisible in this second half

[murraymints]

Not at the moment...stretchered off!

[Arksided]

Never in my life did I think I'd find myself praying for a Columbian to score ;-)

[murraymints]

They should all be up on assault charges !

[bibblebub]

judging by the 2 games today, the tournament winner is going to come from the other half of the draw

[royfromaus]

I think Germany will beat Brazil.

[bibblebub]

As usual, Germany win games even though they don't play too well.

[Arksided]

I agree that Germans will beat Brazil, don't want to speculate on tomorrows as I've got most games wrong... become a jinx.

Back to the OP, Neymar have to agree with above comments not in same class as Messi and Ronaldo.

No, he's not, but he's better than that referee.
