He is sucking against every half decent team in NT games. stats mean nothing.

Played like a scrub and selfish one at that.

He is got the potential to be world class, he is not there yet

Massively overrated

LOL, Knee jerk much? This quote below is my favorite.

"IMO his peak as a player is Robben/current Bale status rather than Messi/Ronaldo and he'll be playing on loan at Getafe alongside Alexis in 2/3 years."

You do know if he turned out to be as good as Bale this year or Robben when he's been healthy he would be a wild success in Europe, Right?

I mean if you thought he was going to be as good as Messi and Ronaldo then you don't really respect either player or can't comprehend how good Messi or Ronaldo are.

You might not see anyone approaching there status or goal tallies for the next 25 years, I don't know why Neymar has to be a failure if he's not as good as Messi or Ronaldo. I pretty much thought that was a given.

No one makes threads about CR sucking vs Israel.

good point.

Didnt know that much about the guy a year ago. Got scared when looking at youtube videos when Barca had to face him at the worldcup. Ten minutes in the game the fear was completey gone. Didnt stand a chance against a decent European defense. Really hope we dont buy him.

Those threads just end in Messi/Barca/RealMadrid discussions. No need. Portugal doesnt play CR's style now, doesnt suite him really. Hope for him they get the adjustments he needs.

Haven't you heard? Europe is the be all and end all on judging a player.

But really, I don't see why people care about this. Had he tore Russia to shreds, no one would care.

He ain' overrated, he's just not Messi or Ronaldo. Shouldn't be compared to them at all really, not in their class.

He is better than Ronaldo and Messi at their age at International level.

I think its great people are forgetting he's only 21 and surrounded by scrubs though.

He has broken R9s record for goals in first 25 games ( dont care about the friendlies excuse)

These comments will come back to bite u all when he's raping next year.

Agreed with Dmac, we keep on expecting every youngster to reach Messi or Ronaldo level but that's unrealistic and only a few lads will manage it in the next 10 years.

If the best of Neymar is indeed something like Robben when he was peaking, then it's pretty good. If i recall he reached two CL finals, played a WC final etc... And Bale has not reached Robben's level yet (when he is good that is) lol

Neymar can become as good as Kaka was when he was best player in europe, it's still a very high level, not goat like but still fantastic.

AND THE KID IS 21!!! lmao

ps: CR being an NT flop is already a given, nothing new.

Is that because hé is better of because the tactics suits him better? ;-) No way Neymar is better than Ronaldo or Messi 'at their age'. Remember how Argentina played Messi 3/4 years ago, and hell, look how Portugal plays CR now. Neymar is in his role at the Brazilian NT and that suits him. Make him play another position, like Argentina or Portugal did, and you will see the same.

Can't believe I am saying this but I have to agree with Izzy on this one.

CR is a nt flop.RVP is a NT flop.The list goes on, people take these performances so seriously its unbelievable.

Also, as i said many times, in gl players are either shet or world class,there is no middle way through. "Neymar sucks"

Regardless of tonight

Perhaps but its still a fact.... and yes he is better than CR was at that age...

CR was a nobody at 21, you can argue Messi if you want but he was still piss poor for Argentina.

owen, god at 18, shit at 25, those comparisons mean nothing, please stop with that stuff. you know how many players were better than Zidane at 22 yet cant even touch him when we look down the line? I mean Robinho was better than most at 17, look how it turned out

I've always thought he was overrated.

I know just saying.... he clearly isn't a scrub or overrated.

People have to stop expecting him to be Messi at 21 surrounded by scrubs and expect him to GOAT every time.

His international performances are still miles better than so many of the players people wank over.

It just makes you look stupid when he does start GOATing and he will.

I dont see this guy 'GOATing' in the future. He is a good player, for sure, but has yet to show this against a decent defense - he has flopped against all thus far. I hope to see him in Europe soon, we can see how great he really is.
