did you just respond to your own post mate?
Yes I did.
How has Neymar played more games than Messi? Or am I reading that wrong.
As of age 23.
Ah, that makes sense.Ronaldo took a fairly big leap at around that age, it was a season before he moved to Real. With that in mind, he could well be on his way.
But a 1001 things could go wrong for him over the next few seasons.
I didn't rate Neymer that highly until I went to the world cup and watch him both live at the ground and more closely in the other games.
He really blew me away.
He's not at that level yet but I'd certainly put it at the tier just below.
A very gifted player

Considering there are really only 2 of the greatest players of all time ahead of him and hes at least 5 years younger than both of them I dont see how he could be much more successful at this point in his career
Physically bigger.
Isn't Messi pretty much the same build?
It's as good as I've personally seen. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho on paper was excellent too.
Yeah he didn't live up to his hype or the 20 odd million Betis paid for him. That was a lot of money back then for them. Where did they get that kind of cash?
He did star in that deadly Nike ad at the airport. I'll give him that.
I remember having a conversation about Neymar with a friend a season or two ago and he was asking me to describe him as a player as he'd never seen him play well. I said at the time that whilst Neymar comes across (or is billed as) a flashy Ronaldinho type, his strength is really as a goal scorer. He can often be a bit of a non-entity for large parts of the game and then score a couple of goals.
I don't know that he's comparable to the likes of Messi or even Ronaldinho as a a player. He's got the stats and he's undeniably talented but it's still unclear to me whether he can step from out of the (relative) peripheries and genuinely lead teams.
Perhaps I'm being unfair given that he's playing in a team centered around Messi but if he wants to be compared to the best, that's what he needs to do in my opinion.
