Barçapocalypse NOW!
In my opinion Neymar put himself in a very bad position, he chose to play in a tournament that's being held in his own home country, and after the 7-0 the expectations were high for Brazil to obtain the gold. I mean Brazil is the only national team that brought in a true superstar if I'm correct, they were gunning for the gold, if they fail I wouldn't want to be Neymar at all.
Tactically wise the team might be bad, but again they aren't playing against powerhouses, maybe the young Brazilian players aren't that good aside from a few like you said.
I think it's a similar case to Messi's... They both come from countries with great football tradition that lately have not seen the expected results, so then comes the young player with talent that should lead the team to a new golden age, but somehow they expect him to do everything single-handedly while at the same time comparing him to nostalgia-fueled fantasies of the days past... So at the first difficulty they turn on him, disown him and call him a false prophet...
The public these days demands immediate results or they move onto the next big thing, until they realize how wrong they were...
Ney has tons of things to improve both on and off the pitch, but the way he's being treated is simply embarrasing...
