When Brazilian under-23 coach Rogerio Micale suggested that Neymar could one day quit the Brazilian national team due to a lack of respect, the parallels that could be drawn with Lionel Messi’s treatment and subsequent retirement from Argentina’s setup were almost too self-evident.
Neymar and Brazil's men have been so bad in the Olympics that Neymar has reportedly been stripped of the Brazil captainship. Fortunately, Marta and Brazil's women are here to save the day, so much so that fans have started turning Neymar jerseys into Marta jerseys.
Neymar loves to party. He might even love it more than J.R. Smith does. There’s nothing wrong with that, the guy’s 24 years old.
The Barcelona superstar has been living it up during his time off. He was not playing during the Copa America because the Brazilian Football Confederation preferred that he played in the Rio Olympics, but that didn’t stop him from watching a Brazil Copa match with Justin Bieber, Lewis Hamilton, and Jamie Foxx.
We are three weeks away from the opening ceremony of the Olympics and, as the date approaches, I can't help but wonder: does Neymar have more pressure to win than any other athlete competing this summer?
With all the turmoil that has surrounded these Olympics and the unrest in the host country, I feel there is nothing the citizens of Brazil would love more than to see their young superstar lead their nation's team to a gold medal in the sport that they hold so near and dear to their hearts.

However, Neymar has revealed to TV Globo that his first days at the Camp Nou were riddled with fright and nerves.
No team on the planet passes the ball quite like Barcelona. The tiki-taka masters display a telepathic connection on the pitch that leads to some magisterial build up play and fantastic goals. Thanks to FC Barcelona’s official YouTube page, we can now watch Barcelona’s top 10 assists of the 2015-16 season.
We can't wait for the Olympics. Rio is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and Brazil is sure to be a wonderful host. It's going to be a safe and fun Olympic games for all involved!
