**The World Cup 2018 Official Thread**

Neymar had a real propaganda team behind him. For real, for real. But he's been IMMENSE for Brazil. In alternative reality, I wonder how Brazil would fair if Diego Costa was on the squad rather than Neymar

Neymar's branding is massive, no problem with him getting his money but I've never understood how it ever reached this current level

Russia got the juice

They've really enhanced their performance this WC

Lots of home-grown heroes on this squad

 

[GPBear]

England really about to be in the Final

England, Russia, or Croatia each option is pure

Neymar’s been a “future Ballon D’or winner” for 6 years now. He’s 26
When Messi was 26 he was in the GOAT discussion.
When Ronaldinho was 26 he won everything at club, country and individual level.
When CR7 was 26 he had a Ballon D’or by 23 and took a rebuilding Real Madrid side under his arm
When Ronaldo Lima was 26 he had 2 World Cup medals.
Even Micheal Owen had a ballon d’or at 21
I could go on, my point is that the neymar Ballon D’or hype is over. Brazilian fowards are usually done by 28

It’s time to focus on mbappe, dembele and other upcoming youth

Tbh if not for Ronaldo and Messi he'd be sweeping the Balon D'or ceremonies. A wgole generation of players have gotten done dirty by Ronaldo and Messi it's not even fair
For like 2 seasons he looked like the clear cut 3rd after those two .

@bolded thank yoouuuuuuu. I thought I was the only one that noticed this. Reason I was looking at psg like when they took him at 26.

Croatia got a good team but don't seem to be clinical in their attack

Neymar will be fine, because he doesn't have fat phases.

Like Naby Keita
The brother looks like a real midfielder

 

[Luken]

It’s like some sort of curse, very rarely will a World class attacking brazilian play at a world class level in their late 20s. Either it be through injury or just laziness. What’s even weirder is that defenders and holding midfielders do just fine in their 30s.

The decline tends to start at 26 and by 29 they’re in retirement mode. It’s even worse with guys like Alexandre Pato

Judging from lack of activity around here, nobody could care less about this match up

I think he was looking a bit chubby this tournament
I doubt getting fat will be his undoing tho, Barca had to force him to put on weight.

All the Brazilian cats have shyt that eventually fukks them up, Ronaldo's own was getting fat, Kaka with the injuries and Dinho with the indiscipline
