‘Give him an Oscar already’, says fans fed up with Neymar’s acting

Brazil star Neymar was yet again at his acting best during yesterday’s match against Mexico.

One particular incident around the 70-minute mark had internet users reaching for their Oscars, after the Brazil number 10 went down under challenge near the touchline.

With Neymar on the deck, Mexico’s Miguel Layun went to collect the ball from between his legs, stepping on his ankle in the process but prompting the Brazil forward to dramatically flop around in a wholly disproportionate response.

Internet users were quick with their meme-making to mock the Brazil man. Some said they were on the way to the stadium to give the man a well-deserved Oscar.
