Agreed. He has everything as a footballer. Speed, dribbling, passing, freekick. But there's always that one thing making him less great. Rivaldo was great too but easily forgotten. 8 goals in 2 WCs, 2 finals, and integral part of the team's success.
@@robinsoncruise2228 there's no doubt about his talent mate.. I've seen him since his Santos days when he was 17. He ought to have been the successor of Messi-Ronaldo but he isn't anywhere near either one of them or even his own potential.. wasting his time and talent in PSG coupled with his behavior of treating himself bigger than the club has lead him to where he is now. He only has 5 years max to be at the top level that is if he can manage to stay injury free (highly unlikely). So either he can continue playing in the farmer's league and achieve nothing except the league title where they don't face any completion.. OR grow some balls be honest to himself and take up a challenge somewhere else. Atleast that way when he retires and looks back at his career, he can say at least I took up the challenge and tried to be at the top level.
Why would you shoot the ball at a player who is about to take a corner kick in the first place. I m sorry but I can't feel bad for the turkish player. Karma is a bitch.
@@biscuitdunker3948 I've said this for years, it's not that they are "fannies", they are just professionals and they do this because they KEEP getting rewarded for it. If the game doesn't want players going down at the slightest touch? Stop refusing to give free kicks unless the players go down. They don't try and stay on their feet because the officials give them very little incentive to do so. You want players to stop play acting? The officials need to stop rewarding it and start punishing it. This is mostly on the officials and everyone completely misses this point when they immediately go to "footballers these days" type rants. Surprise surprise, when professional sportsmen who are trying to win identify patterns of behaviour that reward them with success, they are going to do that. It's on the officials to change the game. Not on the players to stop trying their best to win out of some Medieval style code of honour that declares "they should play the game like REAL MEN!".
@@Zandohaha For the "football was better back in the day" people, theres no nuances. Apparently they dont give a damn about the players safety. They wanna see a sport where super talented players who dribble a lot (like Maradona) get their careers ended (or almost ended in Maradonas case) by "old school" players who arent good enough to defend properly, but ARE good enough to commit moronic, career-ending fouls.
If you watch footage of people like Best, he'd often take several dangerous tackles before he went down, but would get straight back up. Even Canniga in 1990 against Cameroon withstood several hacks before he was scythed down. These days players go down as soon as the sense someone in proximity. They do it because the know refs are soft and often give cards. There's advantage in doing it. Take away the advantage and they will stop.
The Canniga tackle is one of the funniest clips just because of how he gets steadily more unstable as the tackles fly in until getting totally obliterated by a challenge so wild that the tackler loses his boot.
You know, i used to agree. Because I thought Neymar and others were pathetic. Always diving. Until I got to a good level in English football and ended up getting injured numerous times due to bad and vicious tackles. I learnt to dive after that and the tackles stopped. Its just part of the game.
this is why i really admire messi. a small player but despite his size he can take on huge defenders and take brutal tackles and he’ll still be on his feet, refusing to go down.
If you dont dive, you dont get freekicks and penalties. It is just a fact, I remeber Messi taking all those kicks getting no freekick and half year injury for what? The reality is refeeres are a part of the problem aswell, and if you dont dive you are just out of the competition. Andthere is an other aspect aswell, just remember Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona specially getting injury after injury while those were playing football, the other team played injury ball. Just remember Maradona at Barca getting injury after injury while referee was wachting other game apparently. THan getting racist slurs from the Spanish media, players, while they were making fun of him.
True story: I met Neymar at a Nike convention two years ago and he was actually pretty decent. Signed autographs and whatnot. I got one too on a Nike poster which he wrote out in Portuguese (at least he spelled my name correctly!). Anyway, I was super grateful so I thanked him and patted him on the arm. You can write the rest of the joke yourself :)
Simulation bookings dont cut it anymore, this still happens even with VAR. If you diving your cheating. So why is it treated differently? I think they should wage cap and ban players for a month with longer and harsher punishments for repeat offenders. Get this behaviour out of the sport!!
Coz refs won't give cards if u don't exaggerate the contact. If a player stays on their feet in the box & the chance is gone. But if they go down they get a penalty.
Exactly. Making winning a simple matter of selling the ref and not something that's earned through build up. I think all players should stay on their feet in the box. Me personally, I would respect that more. Nothing more duplicitous than a footballer going down like he's been shot after minimal contact. Then jump and act a big man in the same breath. Disgusting
@@cklambo If they were to enforce it hard and consistently, players would learn it eventually. It'd take time but it would be worth it. For some reason I think Fifa likes the play acting otherwise they'd have done something by now

I still watch it but it’s getting harder and harder because of over regulation and privileged players. VAR has really destroyed any good that was left in the game. Too much politics now because the greedy old farts in suits that know nothing about the game are using football as a money making machine to fatten their own pockets, screw the working class fans who made the game popular in the first place. Other sports have been ruined too like basketball. Even the biggest boxing fight in British history will be in the Middle East. Literally no respect for the fans. Those same people in power are using sports to get society to align with their social and political views, like the BLM nonsense. Don’t even get me started on the feminists trying to influence changes in the sports.
@@GoGetYourShinebox As a football fan, I completely agree. One more thing to add, although situation doesn't allow, I really miss fans on stadium and it's harder to watch games with just the sound of fans chanting and empty stands.

its just boring man like people dont need to be kicked in the head and have no consequences but EVERYTHING is a foul, VAR has destroyed the game. honestly its pretty boring. also take into account that nomatter who you are they all go down instantly. prime example, martial.
@@verbon47 Stop exaggerating, not everyone in today's game is a diver. If that's the case we wouldn't see a single fight or a clash of heads in a game. I mean, even this video is a bit too ridiculous for me. It's comparing a player known for his toughness to a player known for his diving. That's like putting an apple and an orange in a competition of "who is the most red-coloured".
The sad thing is that this has now seriously come in to the English game and some of our most talented players, Grealish, Sterling, Maddison, Dele Ali all go over far too easily. Even Kane (and I'm a Spurs supporter) does it. It's damaging our game as a spectacle. I would welcome some action on this, starting with penalising diving and referees refusing to give free kicks if players are touched and fall over. I would eventually go further and penalise persistent diving with retrospective action. It's the only thing that will clean the game up!
Diving 1st offence :- Red card, 3 match ban, 1 months salary donated to charity. Diving 2nd offence :- Red card, 10 match ban, Club deducted 10 points. Result? Diving reduced to almost nothing.....Job done. ps. You forgot the main offenders today who are Mane and Salah, along with Grealish.
Roy Keane once dived v West Ham (7-1) to win a penalty,its in every elite player,pushing the limits to win at all cost, I don't see the people moaning about Neymar ,also crediting him with returning from a broken back. No,this is a societal problem,we feed off negativity,and we purposefully omit any positivity that unbalances our lust for angry criticism "we see a beautiful landscape photograph,and focus on the telephone poll -Jeremy Clarkson.
When Beckham got a straight red for slightly touching that fucking Simeone who previously fouled Beckham worth at least a yellow card. That's where it all started.
Dude... Diving is when you dive without contact or very minimal contact and act as if u have been hurt real bad... Thats the problem... If player dives to save themselve and get back up without "ACTING", then with that nobody has any problem... Only problem is players acting as if they r hurt and thats the core problem.
I think the sad truth is that refs rather give a foul if you fall to the ground or play dead then the other way around. Didn't Messi get a red card for literally just standing there in one match of the Copa America
Player: *Almost injuries Ronaldinho with a two-foot tackle* Ronaldinho: *Smiles and laughs* Player: *Touches Neymar* Neymar: *Screams and rolls on the floor like he has been shot*
You can find clips of players like Klinsmann diving in 90s and Messi playing on after a few kicks in his legs or when defender is trying to hug him. So, it's like select clips. If you show those clips you make impression that the change is the other way round, that there was diving in 90s and now players are tougher.
Yes players have gotten stronger. In particular teams such as Uruguay began implementing rigorous arm strengthening routines; a part of a soccer players body that had been neglected until the arrival of players such as Neymar.
2 pet peeves of mine with soccer. (Ex player + 12 year official) 1) Diving / unsportsmanship and 2) Dissent towards officials. Both will continue and thrive until FIFFA gets involved, like they should and put emphasis on these issues! I would also strongly recommend that VAR be used for diving. For dissent, remember what captains are for.
Are you on drugs you fool , Messi never dives , he always stands back up and never asks for fouls just because he got tackled and got down. Get your facts straight kid
The two above me are deluded. Messi is a big diver. He started out diving. He's pretty much the reason they stopped giving yellows for diving. Honestly tho you have to be crazy bias to say Messi has never dived.
@@crimeaisukraine6605 this is a 2 min video😂😂real science would get every match he's ever played and show me every interaction he's ever had on the pitch then you would see
Neymar is the biggest cheat in football, and swaggers about like he's a hardman when players pull him up. I hope someone gives him something real to roll about the ground for, and keeps him out for the rest of his career.
Dont blame them. Cantona didnt get the free kick by staying standing. So its no wonder many players 'exaggerate'. Refs have only got themselves to blame.
Get rid of diving in one simple step, player's who dive gets red carded. People would be more eager to stay on their feet, I can guarantee that, and the disgraceful "acting" can be dealt with once and for all.
@@JJ-nu8qi This is very much true, why aren't they doing that? Are they fined even? Probably not, and not that the fine would really be felt by the players with how the wages are anyway. But yeah, one can dream at least.
@@mihneaiordan1813 How is that different from now though? And if a player stands a chance of getting a red card/suspended after the game for diving, they might be detered from it more so to do it. The clubs themselves would certainly be more against it. Players would be more inclined to stay on their feet, it would make for a more dynamic and flowing game instead of them rolling around on the ground as if shot for having their ears flicked.
Back then there were many more career ending injuries so you would understand a player going down easily. Now medical technology has improved so much that not even the dreaded ACL tear is a career ender anymore and still it's these players that go down for the faintest of touches.
@James Drake what game was this. His debut was against Sheffield Wednesday and he scored the 4th and did the famous dive celebration...which was his teammates idea? You mixing it up with a similar tale about Ronaldo?
Klinsman certainly did not dive when he took a flying knee full to the face from Mark Bosnich, was at that game and you could actually hear the clatter of his knee hitting his head😳
This can be solved quite easily. Use var and book them. Simple. Once the word gets out that people are getting regularly booked for overreacting then they'll calm it down a notch.
Things to change in football to improve it in this regard: 1) If a referee believes a player has exaggerated (or invented) contact or the force of something in ANY way then benefit of the doubt goes to the defender- if they have "exaggerated" it then what is to say it wasn't entirely invented and therefore 2) You can never have a foul for being "Too forceful" in a professional sport. If the technique is correct then the force can be as much or as little as they wish- that's how ALL other professional sports work! 3) Players go off the pitch for physio attention. This has been especially noticeable with no crowds but the amount of unnecessary stoppages and pauses in play just because a player insists on a physio coming to kiss his wittle bruise better is outrageous at the moment. It's too much of a tactic to waste time and disrupt play and at the moment refs just play into it. 3a) Feigning injury must be stopped. This is not for 'entertainment' or irritation but for safety. It will happen one day that a player doesn't get the necessary treatment immediately after going into cardiac arrest (Like Muamba, Puerta, Vivian-Foé, Cheick Tioté etc.) and could result in Hypoxic Brain damage or death simply because everyone is so used to them cheating and pretending. And most importantly.... 4) Referees must book players for diving- EVERY SINGLE TIME.
They will show you this incident but won't show how much football is faster now, how elegant the plays are, how great teamwork is, how much more refined the skills are, how much bigger, stronger, faster and smarter defenders are. And still there are lot of players who don't dive.

Too much politics now because the greedy old farts in suits that know nothing about the game are using football as a money making machine to fatten their own pockets, screw the working class fans who made the game popular in the first place. Other sports have been ruined too like basketball. Even the biggest boxing fight in British history will be in the Middle East. Literally no respect for the fans. Those same people in power are using sports to get society to align with their social and political views, like the BLM nonsense. Don’t even get me started on the feminists trying to influence changes in the sports.
@@GoGetYourShinebox As a football fan, I completely agree. One more thing to add, although situation doesn't allow, I really miss fans on stadium and it's harder to watch games with just the sound of fans chanting and empty stands. Probably gonna stop watching it in a near future and take a look at some old football matches.
its just boring man like people dont need to be kicked in the head and have no consequences but EVERYTHING is a foul, VAR has destroyed the game. honestly its pretty boring. also take into account that nomatter who you are they all go down instantly. prime example, martial.
@@verbon47 Stop exaggerating, not everyone in today's game is a diver. If that's the case we wouldn't see a single fight or a clash of heads in a game. I mean, even this video is a bit too ridiculous for me. It's comparing a player known for his toughness to a player known for his diving. That's like putting an apple and an orange in a competition of "who is the most red-coloured".
When the young generation find out Trautmann played on in the FA Cup final with a broken neck.

@@flintmcgerty Thank God we caught him then and not the Russians, could be a CSKA legend by now instead.

Who's after Sterling vs Denmark?
Good point made herein-at least it’s makes sense to this viewer. Thanks-wish it were a longer piece! ✔️
The sad thing is that this has now seriously come in to the English game and some of our most talented players, Grealish, Sterling, Maddison, Dele Ali all go over far too easily. Even Kane (and I'm a Spurs supporter) does it. It's damaging our game as a spectacle.
I would welcome some action on this, starting with penalising diving and referees refusing to give free kicks if players are touched and fall over.
I would eventually go further and penalise persistent diving with retrospective action. It's the only thing that will clean the game up!
Diving 1st offence :- Red card, 3 match ban, 1 months salary donated to charity.
Diving 2nd offence :- Red card, 10 match ban, Club deducted 10 points.
Result?
Diving reduced to almost nothing.....Job done. ps. You forgot the main offenders today who are Mane and Salah, along with Grealish.
@@KryptonitetoallBS PSG is gonna sufffffferrrr
It's a serious issue nowadays but federarions don't seem to care unfortunately ...
I was told by a football coach in order to be a footballer you need to be a good actor too
R9 also used to take so much punishment, but always tried to stay on his feet.
Maybe that's why his carrer was destroyed by injuries
Cantona is a beast that he stays calm and does not knock back is probably the most extreme
Roy Keane once dived v West Ham (7-1) to win a penalty,its in every elite player,pushing the limits to win at all cost, I don't see the people moaning about Neymar ,also crediting him with returning from a broken back.
No,this is a societal problem,we feed off negativity,and we purposefully omit any positivity that unbalances our lust for angry criticism "we see a beautiful landscape photograph,and focus on the telephone poll -Jeremy Clarkson.
The knock in the mouth literally bent his head...
Neymars picked up the baton from Rivaldo then
When Beckham got a straight red for slightly touching that fucking Simeone who previously fouled Beckham worth at least a yellow card. That's where it all started.
Damn right
Pfff yeah, put the blame on us
@@DeanFernandezzz what do you mean by us? Who are you?
It started before in that same match when Owen dived alone in the area and got a penalty kick
that was after Owen's dive that caused a penalty and a goal, get ur fax str8 m8
That guy earthbended neymar... Should have a red
As soon as I saw the title, I knew that Neymar is gonna be in it.
Neymar is such a pissy
its gone a bit to far in terms of diving for sure , not great for the game , i miss cantona , the collar , the king
Sometimes a dive will save you from a career-ending injury.
Dude... Diving is when you dive without contact or very minimal contact and act as if u have been hurt real bad... Thats the problem... If player dives to save themselve and get back up without "ACTING", then with that nobody has any problem... Only problem is players acting as if they r hurt and thats the core problem.
Wow. My guy literally flew through the air like a ballerina 😂😂😂
I think the sad truth is that refs rather give a foul if you fall to the ground or play dead then the other way around. Didn't Messi get a red card for literally just standing there in one match of the Copa America
When football was a man's game.
They using ki nowadays, only saiayan can see the energy come out of that Uruguay guy to Neymar face
He totally punched him like 6 times! Only it was too fast for the human eyes to see
So much truth in one short video.
0:21 The fall probably hurt Neymar more than the Uruguay player
Player: *Almost injuries Ronaldinho with a two-foot tackle*
Ronaldinho: *Smiles and laughs*
Player: *Touches Neymar*
Neymar: *Screams and rolls on the floor like he has been shot*
I remember Rivaldo getting hit by a ball in 2002 on the shin, and doing something similar to Neymar here.
You are on something if you think Ronaldinho didn't dive.
Wow players have gotten so much stronger. All he had to do was tap the other guy and he went flying
You can find clips of players like Klinsmann diving in 90s and Messi playing on after a few kicks in his legs or when defender is trying to hug him. So, it's like select clips. If you show those clips you make impression that the change is the other way round, that there was diving in 90s and now players are tougher.
This days Majority of football players should be given Oscars.
Cantona retired 30 years ago and we all remember him. Wait until 2060 and see if anybody knows who was Neymar...
Yes players have gotten stronger. In particular teams such as Uruguay began implementing rigorous arm strengthening routines; a part of a soccer players body that had been neglected until the arrival of players such as Neymar.
I'm Brazilian, and really sorry about what Neymar has done. This used to be the gentlemen game.
The world knew that Neymar is an exception and not the rule 😊👍.
Do Alemanha
Feel for contact, jump high af. Follow the rules!
High level players have more power, that means a simple touch can send an oponnent flying. Basic rpg.
Gravity: Exists
Neymer Jr.: Let's fall
2 pet peeves of mine with soccer. (Ex player + 12 year official) 1) Diving / unsportsmanship and 2) Dissent towards officials. Both will continue and thrive until FIFFA gets involved, like they should and put emphasis on these issues! I would also strongly recommend that VAR be used for diving. For dissent, remember what captains are for.
This is why I have a hard time calling CR7 and Messi GOATS . Deception like this is killing the beautiful game .
Messi doesn't dive
Are you on drugs you fool , Messi never dives , he always stands back up and never asks for fouls just because he got tackled and got down. Get your facts straight kid
The two above me are deluded.
Messi is a big diver. He started out diving. He's pretty much the reason they stopped giving yellows for diving. Honestly tho you have to be crazy bias to say Messi has never dived.
@@plopdoo339 since you don't know what you are talking about, Im gonna show you with a bit of science ua-cam.com/video/oWcqiHIoZT8/v-deo.html
@@crimeaisukraine6605 this is a 2 min video😂😂real science would get every match he's ever played and show me every interaction he's ever had on the pitch then you would see
Football died sometime in the early 2000s.
To be fair Klinsmann was diving all over the shop for Monaco and Spurs in the early 90s. That's when the rot set in for me!
2006 World Cup was the end for me.
Neymar is the biggest cheat in football, and swaggers about like he's a hardman when players pull him up. I hope someone gives him something real to roll about the ground for, and keeps him out for the rest of his career.
Too harsh
@@johnsuperhist5219 not harsh enough my friend 👍🏻
Nah not liking him is fine, but taking away his livelihood is too far
@@Tommy_111 I'm sure he'll get by just fine with the money he's got lol.
@@countcampbell yeah coz millionaires never go broke. Plus even so, he shouldn't to lose what he loves simply coz you don't like him
One part of me is so glad that you showed Neymar on the second clip Bravo!!
Dont blame them. Cantona didnt get the free kick by staying standing. So its no wonder many players 'exaggerate'. Refs have only got themselves to blame.
Right people just ignore that Cantona got fouled like 10 times and the play just went on.
Get rid of diving in one simple step, player's who dive gets red carded. People would be more eager to stay on their feet, I can guarantee that, and the disgraceful "acting" can be dealt with once and for all.
It would be as easy as watching the game after and suspending players who dove in the game as well as red cards during the game.
@@JJ-nu8qi This is very much true, why aren't they doing that? Are they fined even? Probably not, and not that the fine would really be felt by the players with how the wages are anyway. But yeah, one can dream at least.
@@reikenkayzer It would make the games so much more enjoyable to watch.
Too subjective. Some legitimate fouls would be marked as dives, and some dives would go unnoticed.
@@mihneaiordan1813 How is that different from now though? And if a player stands a chance of getting a red card/suspended after the game for diving, they might be detered from it more so to do it. The clubs themselves would certainly be more against it. Players would be more inclined to stay on their feet, it would make for a more dynamic and flowing game instead of them rolling around on the ground as if shot for having their ears flicked.
feel sorry for neymar, football today is absolutely brutal
you twisted the plot very well sir
Good xD
Damn! It seems like Neymar stepped on a land mine. I really hope he's ok and he can get to walk again. #prayforneymar🙏
Back then there were many more career ending injuries so you would understand a player going down easily. Now medical technology has improved so much that not even the dreaded ACL tear is a career ender anymore and still it's these players that go down for the faintest of touches.
If you hate diving watch MLS. The quality isn’t as high as EPL or European leagues, but there’s less simulation, and it’s frowned upon.
Referees should give yellow cards more often for simulation !
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Neymar in a pic. The captions say, "Here we have the greatest actor, beside Arnold Schwarzenegger"
Accurate asf
I must've imagined watching Jurgen Klinsmann in the 90s then 😂
Or Francis 'Franny' Lee in the 1970s.
@James Drake what game was this. His debut was against Sheffield Wednesday and he scored the 4th and did the famous dive celebration...which was his teammates idea? You mixing it up with a similar tale about Ronaldo?
@@colmd7680 a celebration is different to what you do in play.
@@deanlewsey1628 my point isn't about what he did in play....it was in response to a story that doesn't seem to have happened re: his debut
Klinsman certainly did not dive when he took a flying knee full to the face from Mark Bosnich, was at that game and you could actually hear the clatter of his knee hitting his head😳
check out the left hook from Johnny Giles against Keegan in the 1974 Charity shield, Giles didnt even get booked
This can be solved quite easily. Use var and book them. Simple. Once the word gets out that people are getting regularly booked for overreacting then they'll calm it down a notch.
Nostalgic misremembrance... there have always been divers, there have always been tough guys
No.
the tough guys highly outnumbered the divers, now its the other way around
Divers were the exception, nowadays almost every striker does it. Just look what happens in the EPL
Legends used to play the sport, now its mostly kids.
There are fewer and fewer exceptional players because the average player has become better in football. It is harder to stand out.
LOOK AT FEETS WHEN NEYMAR FLY, THAT GUY STEP HARD ON HIM
Not hard enough for Neymar to actually worry about his feet, though.
@@AG-gr4yx they're wearing football boots. What you call it again, something like thick spike, it could have been injury
@@kasumi9015 could have been. But he grabbed his face, so his feet couldn't have been too sore.
Yeah people dong go flying like a jack-in-the-box after foot stomp
@@vasvas8914 he probably grew a pair of invisible wings and tried to fly like a butterfly
Things to change in football to improve it in this regard:
1) If a referee believes a player has exaggerated (or invented) contact or the force of something in ANY way then benefit of the doubt goes to the defender- if they have "exaggerated" it then what is to say it wasn't entirely invented and therefore
2) You can never have a foul for being "Too forceful" in a professional sport. If the technique is correct then the force can be as much or as little as they wish- that's how ALL other professional sports work!
3) Players go off the pitch for physio attention. This has been especially noticeable with no crowds but the amount of unnecessary stoppages and pauses in play just because a player insists on a physio coming to kiss his wittle bruise better is outrageous at the moment. It's too much of a tactic to waste time and disrupt play and at the moment refs just play into it.
3a) Feigning injury must be stopped. This is not for 'entertainment' or irritation but for safety. It will happen one day that a player doesn't get the necessary treatment immediately after going into cardiac arrest (Like Muamba, Puerta, Vivian-Foé, Cheick Tioté etc.) and could result in Hypoxic Brain damage or death simply because everyone is so used to them cheating and pretending.
And most importantly....
4) Referees must book players for diving- EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It was not the elbow, it was an unseen force that struck him, even the aliens hate neymar
Back then, it was a sport, one of the most exciting one, today it's theatre- of terrible quality
Like the comedian from the watchmen, once said " it's all a fucking joke"
No Shame at all, sly bastard! don't like swearing but felt I had to!😁⚽
If referees had given foul in Cantona's situation, football wouldn't have evolved into the need for simulation.
In the past there were players who would dive as well and nowadays there are players who don’t. This is a very relative matter.
The title should be : This is how men changed
( laughing in agonized tears)
All jokes aside, that was some actually amazing acting by Neymar.
*Better times in history - 90s and 2000s*
I still remember the Rivaldo dive at 2002 World Cup lol people have short memories
They will show you this incident but won't show how much football is faster now, how elegant the plays are, how great teamwork is, how much more refined the skills are, how much bigger, stronger, faster and smarter defenders are. And still there are lot of players who don't dive.
In the near future, there will be several diving boards around the field to complete the show....
