Najdražji nogometaš na svetu je bil med najzaslužnejšimi za preboj Brazilije v četrtfinale svetovnega prvenstva. Poskrbel je za prvi zadetek Brazilcev na tekmi proti Mehiki, po njegovem strelu in obrambi mehiškega vratarja pa je za končnih 2:0 odbitek v gol poslal še Roberto Firmino. A Neymar je 'blestel' še v eni prvini, zdaj že značilni zanj. Pri vsakem prekršku je bil po mnenju mnogih, vsaj po njegovih reakcijah, že vsaj na poti v bolnišnico.

"Neymar ima najmanjši bolečinski prag od vseh nogometašev na zadnjih svetovnih prvenstvih," je dejal nekdanji odlični angleški napadalec Gary Lineker.
Neymar has the lowest pain threshold of any player in World Cups since Opta stats began.

"Žalostna stvar pri Neymarjevem igranju je ta, da izjemen nogometaš samega sebe spreminja v ... klovna," pa je na twitterju zapisal nekdanji norveški reprezentant Jan Aage Fjortoft. "Sram me je zanj. Je eden najboljših na svetu. A ko se zgodi to, ga ne razumem," pa je menil Dion Dublin.
The sad thing about this “Neymar-acting” is that a World Class player is turning himself into a ....clown

Neymar has claimed the first award of the World Cup after producing the most pathetic dive of his football career.

I desperately want to like Neymar because he is so phenomenal. But reactions like that make it impossible

Based on his reactions you’d think Neymar broke his ankles at least 26 times a game.
