Then yes, he's fine there.  I frequently see him lumped in with Messi and Ronaldo
Agree, I hear people putting him into the same category as Messi and Ronaldo.

Neymar is the most overrated player of this generation
He's too busy flopping around with a fake injury to care.

And now it seems like Qatar may have murdered an American journalist for wearing a rainbow shirt?  Sports washing can apparently only go so far in these ass backwards countries

This is so tragic and bizarre.  And infuriating if it is, what it seems to be.

But hey, we freed someone who was overpunished for actually breaking a law.  How many terrorists are we going to have to free for justice here?

It may seem silly, but I think this is why soccer will never break into the top 3 of professional sports in the U.S.

All about to be decided by penalty kicks.  Wow.

Great theater,  particularly both sides pushing to score late and not sit on PKs to decide it.  Pks are about as satisfying as a conclusion as college football OT.

That game was a lot like the Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl. Most of the game it was a one sided beating, but all it took was one mistake late in regulation and it was game on. I didn't think fire wagon soccer existed until today. OT felt like the end of Rocky 2, with two heavyweights standing in the middle of the ring blasting away at each other. 

It may not have been the best match ever played over the whole game (Argentina dominated for too long to say that), but it's gotta be one of the wildest finishes ever.

I'm happy for the soccer fans and glad they were entertained

also, glad the French didn't win
