Can he ? we will find the answer after the Copa America.
In this thread we'll analyse their performance after the matches.

Round 1:
Messi vs. Bolivia | Rating: 6.5
Sergio Batista used him as a ball spreader which limited his abilities. tried to asisst goals for his teammates instead of scoring in the first half, completely disappeared when his teammates needed his magic to pass Bolivian defenders in the second half.

Neymar vs. Venezuela | Rating: 6.0
Frustrating game from the youngster, Defenders dealt with him easily and wasn't really threatening. just like the rest of his teammates.

:cyclops: :!:

No body has what it takes to take Messi for long time.

No.

yes

Normally I would say Messi is just to good for anyone but Neymar is the brightest youngster ive seen in many many years

you should say 'ronaldo and messi'.. the competition is not over yet

NO

Well he is only 19 so you never know. It depends on which clubs he plays for.

To all the people who are saying no.

Why? Do you own crystal balls or something?

Really difficult to answer
Different ages
Different teams (club and national)
Different leagues

Yes, he can be the opponent for Messi
in a few years

Yes he can why not? Neymar is 5 years younger that is a big difference anything can happen in the future.

I'm not going to dismiss him, he's certainly got the potential. Let's see how his career develops.

to be fair all the people saying no could throw the same question back at you

do you own a crystal ball to say he will be able challenge Messi?

however I do agree with you and believe when he is Messi's age he could also be at a near enough level

he like Messi rarely suffers from lack of confidence and he like Messi have this great ability in terms of passing, dribbling and scoring

I think Neymar will be an amazing player by the 2014 WC

I don't think so but I do think he will be the next opponent for Ronaldo. Messi is magical, there will be some time before a new player like Messi comes again.

Messi is 5 years older...
