An already qualified Brazil played to a 0-0 draw with already eliminated Bolivia at the legendary Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz on Thursday, something of a complete non story. But not when the gregariously self-entitled Neymar is involved!
The 2017-18 season is young, but dribbling is a young man’s game. According to WhoScored.com, these are the 10 players that, on average, are completing the most dribbles per game (minimum of five league matches). While you’ll find many of the usual suspects off to a flying start with regards to ending defenders’ careers, there are also some of the hottest young prospects in the world here.
Guys, don't worry. We have good news. We just saw Neymar and Cavani hug and these guys are totally bros again.
Seriously, just look at Cavani's face. That's exactly how we look when we hug people we love like our grandmother, or best friend, or total random strangers who smell funny.
Cuando PSG aceptó desembolsar 528 millones de dólares por Neymar Jr. (una tarifa de transferencia de 263 millones, además de un contrato de 265 millones por cinco años), mucho creyeron que el club había enloquecido. Si están locos, pues parece que la locura es buena. Hasta el momento, en tan solo ocho apariciones, Neymar ha realizado ocho goles, siete asistencias y ha sido seis veces el mejor jugador del partido. Esta semana vimos un hermoso tiro libre de Neymar a 32 metros.
First things first before we move on to lesser talking points: there was no penalty awarded to PSG on Wednesday, but Neymar and Edinson Cavani took turns on direct free kicks. They also shared moments of slightly frigid tenderness, Cavani comforting Neymar after a terrible miss and Neymar belatedly arriving to congratulate Cavani on his superbly taken goal.
So this is it. The 2017 portion of Paris Saint-Germain’s 2017-18 season boils down to Wednesday’s match against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes, followed by their clash on December 5 at the Allianz. Will Neymar do enough in those two matches to kick-start his campaign for the 2018 Ballon d’Or?
The three final nominees for the Best FIFA Men's Award have been announced, and, whoo boy, you better sit down and buckle your seatbelt. Go find a seat with a seatbelt. Sit on it. Buckle it.
The three finalists are:
MESSI.
RONALDO.
NEYMAR.
Woww who could have possibly seen that coming? I'm out of breath.
