Neymar has to
Any national team that have many of their players in the premier league will play like that. You can see the difference when Brazilian kids were not coming to Europe in their early years and when when they were mostly playing in Spain and Italy. English football is just boring, physicality and just running.
Neymar as to go to is last world cup like CR 7 the goat 🐐 . And Messi last World Cup, too . They're the 3 biggest name in football right now, still 🎉🎉
He should absolutely NOT be on the team. Anyone saying he should knows ZERO about soccer.
Neymar fans are deluded. Their idol spent 8 years playing in France and Saudi Arabia since he was 25 racking up "stats" they love to reference. More than half of his goals for Brazil were scored in friendlies, he never led them to a Copa América or World Cup trophy yet him not being picked means their chances are decreased?!
Modrić won his Ballon d'Or at 33 when Messi was 31 and Neymar was 26 years old , yet they comfort themselves with the narrative of "if it wasn't for Messi and Cristiano, he would have won 1 or 2 of Ballons d'Or". It's really comical at this point.
Neymar's performances have been average at best since he returned to Santos–even before the injuries. Social media reels can't obscure the sobering reality that some of his fans refuse to accept.
This Brazil team doesn't looked like they will make it too far in this world cup
FROM 2023 TO 2026 NEYMAR SCORED 17 GOALS.
CRISTIANO RONALDO SCORED 130 GOALS. AND SOME EMOTIONAL PEOPLE WANT NEYMAR TO PLAY THE WORLD CUP.
Spot on analysis by the team, the best version of this team is absorbing pressure and counter attacking

Brazil is STILL lacking enough creativity & killer passes in the final 3rd. They also have difficulties breaking down good opponents. That's where Neymar comes in, duhhh!!
Brazil (or any good team) can NOT just rely on counter attack alone, smh bring in Neymar & give more minutes to Endrick, duhhhh!!
A half-fit Neymar is far better than the whole of the Brazilian team
It’s good to see how many jobs Neymar created for people like Ale….
I have never ever seen such a commentator in a professional TV channel like ESPN who spreads hatred to a very specific person! This has been few years now
What an ugly way of doing such hate speech as if he suffered a personal damage due to Neymar
half of the Brazil strating 11 are Premier League players. I don't think Neymar would fit their style. Maybe as a substitute if they wanna push for a goal in the last few minutes. He's way past his prime. Once you chose Saudi Arabia you're pretty much done with competitive football. He was 31 back then and still could have played in Europe for at least 3 years.
I was there live at the stadium, Their defense is solid but it needs a bit of work, they fell asleep when Croatia scored that goal. What they need to work on mostly is, The attack once Endrick and Igor Thiago got on it became good, Since both of them are very aggressive.
Realistically speaking; Neymar with one eye and one leg is the most talented on the squad. It’s just a matter of times really. IMO, you put him in a CAM / CF false 9 role; let him distribute etc. his vision and creativity far surpasses everyone on the squad.
I love Neymar but he is not a leader. Someone like Raphina or Casemiro suits the captaincy role better. But Neymar, if fit, must play.
Bring Neymar – use him as a sub if he is not 100%
Neymar that’s unfit can do more for Brazil than these young fit guys tbh
Without Neymar Brazil team incomplete.Before end of the deadline we espect Anchelotti wii be included Neymar of Brazil team.We want" Neymar "
