The King of Rolling! Neymar is one of the most talented footballers on the planet, but he is also the most THEATRICAL diver the game has ever seen. This man could win an Olympic gold medal in rolling. Every time someone breathes near him, he falls down and rolls 47 times across the pitch. It's embarrassing!
Country: Brazil Position: Forward / Winger Career: 2009-present Clubs: Santos, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Al-Hilal, Santos
The Rap Sheet
- His rolling and diving at the 2018 World Cup became a global meme — 'Neymar Challenge' went viral
- Statistical analysis showed he spent over 14 minutes rolling on the ground during the 2018 World Cup
- Has been booked for simulation more times than almost any top player in football history
- Punched opponents, elbowed defenders, and then fell over if anyone touched him back
- Left Barcelona for PSG in a world-record £198 million transfer — and brought the diving with him
The Verdict
Neymar has scored incredible goals and won everything at club level. But his diving is so bad that it overshadows his genius. When a player with THAT much talent feels the need to cheat, it's not just disappointing — it's insulting to the game.
Tomorrow: #19 — Stay tuned for the next villain!
