This is such a poor bandwagon take. If you really watch the man play, you'll see that he's one of the hardest hit, most targeted guys on the field. He's perpetually taking hard tackles, fouls, and card worthy take downs. No wonder his ankles, knees and legs are barely standing. And he is the #1 target bc of what he produces. Neymar is not my favorite player by any means but I can appreciate how physical the game is for him. There's no way he can play for much longer.


I say that having watched the women play with blood dripping down their faces and rolling around with the dramatics of Neymar and other male players.


Dude, I'm sorry but women's soccer is just not the same as men's. It has nowhere near the same speed, strength or power of the men's game. Women's soccer is slow. Painfully slow. Are there injuries? Of course. But to argue that men - and particular - Neymar don't get injured in a game that is 10x faster is just nonsense. No, you do not watch the same game as the rest of us, and the take above is rightfully identified as just a bandwagon observation.


Believe the point here was not about injuries, but how much more often the men fake them.


No, that wasn't the point. PP explicitly stated what she believed about Neymar, which is false. If she watched him in league player (or int'l appearances) she would understand that he is perpetually targeted by opponents and often taken out by any means possible. If she watched, she would understand how common injury is in soccer - mens and women's - and she would understand Neymar's long standing injuries sustained on the pitch. But she doesn't watch or understand and is trying to hide behind the "well women are better" because she is just regurgitating bandwagon takes. So she's getting called out on it.

I wonder what language the ref speaks. I know it is mostly hand signals. I have also seen them speaking to players of both countries like Brazil and Japan.

Remember if you watch the game on Telemundo, the announcer will shout goal for at least two minutes!

Agree, but I just think penalty shootouts are such a lame way to end these matches.
