It doesn't make it right, though.didactic said:Mdr said:didactic said:The Spanish do it, Messi does it, Ronaldo does it. On the continent deceiving the ref is an accepted part of the game.
Closer to home Bale does it and so does Young. Neymar is still a fantastic talent and he can get into any team on the planet.
I'm not denying his talent, but it's very hard to take a player seriously or respect him when he constantly cheats. Like I said he's been playing at the top level for all of five minutes and already has a reputation as a cheat and diver. He should not be able to have such a reputation at such a young age. The fact that it is ignored is a sign of acceptance. They aren't trying to stamp it out, like I said, if this boy got sent off (a second yellow) for diving it would teach him I think, I hope, he'd hesitate to do it again.
By lack of action he's been encouraged to cheat. Talent or potential or not, a cheat is a cheat. I'd rather a hard worker than a cheat any day on our team.
It's the way the game is played where they are from. Did you see that run and pass? Neymar will kill La Liga.
He's very good but he doesn't give me the "can't take my eyes off him" feeling that Michael Jordan or Andrew Johns/Mal Maninga gave me; it gets to the point where I just want to turn the channel over and miss out on the sublime part of his game. He takes the cheating too far.

A cheat is a cheat. Regardless of skill.
Very British of you sir but as I explained on the continent it's part of the game they celebrate it.

I think we'd all have fainted through nerves/shock and missed the penalty had it gone to it.SWP's back said:Kun never goes down even when he should (though I couldn't have taken watching a pen vs qpr in the 94th minute)Caveman said:True. I suppose there's that many of them across all the leagues and so many leagues on tele that I'm exposed to it all the more.SWP's back said:That's been going on for 40 years with the continentals
I'm just glad we don't have any at City (now Mario's gone).
I love Kun all the more for staying on his feet.
Worth staying up for thoughAndouble said:This is worse than Real-Barca. 11 twats v 11 twats

He's 21 you watch when Barca juice him up and put him on a proper programme. At his club he us the golden boy these guys do not follow any rules long as you play well. Under a regiment and focusing on his talents he will surpass C.Ronaldo. He is already leaps and bounds better at 21 then Ron was.
He will score 30 plus next season.

I watch lots of football. He must have his good games after I turn Spain games off because of the boredom.
They have that kid from PSG (can´t remember his name) Jo, Dante, Bernard and Damiao I think.The_Mo said:Who do Brazil have on their bench?
