I keep seeing articles about Neymar popping up on my feed which drives me crazy. In my opinion he is nothing but a cheating little rat I wouldn't let near a team. I just feel that his attitude is one of the most poisonous that I have ever seen on the pitch. There is no doubt that he has a lot of talent with the ball but that is offset by the amount of time he spends diving, crying, cheating and destroying everything that is good about the game.
When I started watching football it was in the era of Roy Keane, Viera, Shearer tough, tough players that backed down from nobody.
Did they cross over the line?
Yes from time to time they did in pursuit of glory. They did it on behalf of their team and the game. They were tough players with a winning attitude. This is in comparison to the likes of Vinnie Jones who was just a lunatic on the pitch.
Good tough
Bad tough
Neymar
Even watching this video of his shit makes me want to get a big stick and beat him every time he dives or takes the piss. I know there are so many cameras now that players have to be careful but it's a pity he never played against the proper footballers above. They wouldn't have taken that crap on the pitch. I'm trying to think but there are very few proper tough solid players left in the game.
Any spring to mind?
