The former Barcelona & PSG superstar returned to his former club Santos this season, a move that has turned out to be frustrating for his play. Has Neymar played his way out of a spot in the World Cup? Plus, the crew chat about whether or not the 18-year old sensation for Chelsea Estêvão has what it takes to fill Neymar’s shoes.

Yes,he will.
Brazil are just not the same team without Neymar 🇧🇷💫. Can the Brazilian star get back to form in time for the World Cup?
I want him to get another shot
No because he's never reliable on being fit
Yes yes.
IS his spot on jeopardy? Bro he dont even have one
DO NOT TAKE NEYMAR ,HE IS NOT FIT ENOUGH, DOESN'T DO ANY RUNNING,DISRUPTS THE CAMP ,HIS TIME HAS COME TO THE END OF HIS CAREER,HE HAS BEEN VERY LUCKY,OTHER PLAYERS HAVE CARRIED HIM , DROP HIM FOR GOOD AND TELL HIM HE IS NOT GOING TO WORLD CUP , ALWAYS INJURED,💩💩💩💩💩🪒
Absolutely. They need him
If he misses this tournament then his Brazil career is finished
He really seems washed, massive uphill battle for him to be starting. i could see him on the plane but as a sub .
When does Antony get added to the conversation? 🤔
Surely Neymar needs to be in the worldcup. Time for him to be mature as the captain, cuz WHO ELSE?
VINI??? his character to be a captain….
🤣🤣🤣 he's too stable for that
but where is ENDRICK??? rotting in Real thanks to spy-rival-spain coach Alonso….
These guys need to remember that 33yo is 46yo in Brazilian years
Like if you agree with this ATTACK for Brazil Squad 2026:
Alisson – Keeper
Vanderson – Marquinhos – Gabriel Magalhães – Caio Henrique
Casemiro – Bruno Guimarães
Estevao/Antony — Neymar — Vinícius Jr./Rodrygo
Endrick – striker
Brazil need Neymar on the squad
He's going to be there
Neymar was seen as a savior when he was exactly Estêvão's age, and he thrived. I think the biggest problem this team has right now is that they don't have reliable goal scorers, other than Raphinha. And he is probably too good to be playing as a center forward. To win the world cup, you need a player in your offense who can play centrally, who can not only combine with whichever talented wingers they have on the field, but finish plays by getting the ball in the back of the net. And right now, other than Igor Jesus, who Ancelotti doesn't rate very highly for some reason, I'm not sure who that is.
Until someone scolds ans teaches Vini how to play with his left back he will never be productive.
Defenders have unhatched his style.
Then he needs to cool off and concern football.
Don Carlo really spoilt that guy…
