Brazil

The mighty Jo is playing now. Brazil cf depth if funny.

They should call up that Costa guy. Heard he's good.

Most player international goals range from teams that are either crap to good team. It's who your federation set-up to play but, I'm sure If he didn't score against them he would be labeled as crap but he has goals against Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Colombia too.

Brazil haven't had to go through qualifiers for this WC, so that means plenty of friendlies, plenty of them vs weak sides. Neymar did very well in the confederations cup and has been a good scorer with Brazil, but there is not doubt he's got a bunch of goals from friendlies vs some real poor teams. Counting back only a year he's got like 8-9 goals from friendlies vs weak sides like Bolivia, Korea, Australia, South African and now Panama.

I'm not criticizing him for scoring, just keeping perspective when people bring his huge scoring numbers. They do come with some stat padding vs minnows in friendlies.

Neymar is as good as messi when it comes to assisting

 

[CatalinR10]

that was a clear pen

The over exaggeration in this thread

Goal against Panama = god apparently

Spot on. That's the way general consensus is build on this forum. From matches against the likes of Panama...

 

[hardyboy]

Neymar has ripped them apart..

 

[Trickykid]

Neymar with an awesome assist. Hahaha, seriously this puts things into perspective. Lucho needs to bring the NT performances out of the players in Barcelona.

You ARE aware who they're playing against... Right?

He has been very good against World class sides as well. Was doing very well with us as well until we collapsed collectively....

How bad is this Panama side? In the sorry Concacaf qualifier region, they need 1 win to qualify for the WC and conceded 2 goals in the last minute of stoppage time against the USA. 2 goals in the last minute. At home. Against an entire B and C team of USA who had nothing to play for.

They are terrible.
