I’m all about our guys getting a rest, and not bothered, but did Richarlison have a touch in the 1st half?
Neymar is no doubt one of the greatest of all-time and is an unbelievable talent. But I never have the same excitement to watch him play as other greats because of how often he hits the ground. Way too much.
He’s also not a fucking tank like Ronaldinho was so he can’t power through tackles like some of the other top talents we’ve had the last 20 years.
I agreed with this for a long time and certainly he had his moments, but after watching the last copa every match he gets fouled relentlessly, every game, and mostly plays on. After a decade plus of just getting his ankles murdered, I think he has a reason at this point to be a little slow in getting up when he does.
Goal of the tournament so far. Beautiful scissor kick. That’s the type of stuff you mess around with at the end of practice. To do that live in this stage is amazing.
