The Brazilian superstar went down early and often against Switzerland, becoming the first player since Alan Shearer in 1998 to suffer 10 fouls in a World Cup match.

I know many say he goes down easy. And in some instances, sure. But Neymar is gonna need a hot and cold bath after today. They came at him HARD. #BRA #WorldCup

I totally understand why it happens but the number of fouls on Neymar was pretty frustrating

If Neymar spent more time actually trying to score instead of faking injury maybe Brazil would’ve won this one.. #WorldCupâ â #BRASUI
