Neymar will never be recognized by Brazilian Fans as one of the greatest players to wear Brazil shirt unless he will win WC , even if he exceeded Pele and become the historical top scorer that doesn't really matter i guess for Brazilians , he would never be put in same table with Pele , Romario , Bebeto , Ronaldo , Rivaldo and other legends of Brazilian team 

Isn't that rightfully so though? Why only look at the number of goals, meaning a legendary defender can never be seen as one of the greatest players?  

 

Anyhow, Neymar kind of did it to himself, by mostly going for an incredibly negative 'vibe' around him (with his theatrics and his overall.....act) instead of focusing on his talents

@Henry_LeonFunny how never seems to be using that elevation advantage anymore (except 1994 WC quals). Or did they ban them from playing in La Paz too often?

They always play in La Paz, but the level of players is worse every year, the coach selection is bad, the local tournament stopped due to a corruption scandal and the rest of the teams have been better at figuring out how to not suffer that much there. They will probably beat some teams though, but the chances of qualifying are slim to none.

 

IMO Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Ecuador will easily take the top 5 as they have much more quality than the rest. Then Chile, Paraguay, Perú and Venezuela will fight for the sixth spot and the playoff spot.

Important and very hardly fought 3 points, with the goal winner scored in the last seconds

 

 

It was a painful watch between Ecuador and Bolivia but Kevin Rodriguez’s 96th minute goal saves La Tri 🇪🇨

Ecuador now has 3 points through 3 games and sit in 7th place in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers
