Hard to be sympathetic to be sympathetic to Costa Rica 98th minute and they're still fannying around at the back,there's something that will be said for 7 men in the box and wellying it

Does seem to be a default setting of supporting the underdogs, and the quad-annual fawning over Brazil (who are usually utterly underwhelming, particularly near the start of the tournament) is unbearable, but I can't say I feel an ounce of sympathy for Costa Rica after that. Between them and Neymar that was everything that can be shit about the World Cup (on the field) distilled into one game.

The penalty which never was, when he dived was a disaster, but that's after getting his achilles tendon's being kicked the shit out of during both Switzerland and this game. And to be fair, he is NOT one who's running to the ref for sympathy like Ronaldo does as soon as he doesn't get a throw in. It takes a while for him, like it did today when finally he just couldn't understand it. There were several moments when he was just throwing his arms out wondering what the fu** it would take to get a free kick. Both today and the often ruthless Switzerland. And I can understand him.
I'm no fan of Neymar, no fan of Brazil, but it's be quite ridiculous at times what players got away with against him in these two games. Doesn't excuse his pathetic dive for penalty.
