There are two personalities I follow in today’s football: Neymar and Mario Balotelli. Balotelli for his skills and social significance as an ethnic minority success story in Italy; Neymar for his skills, facial expressions, and the leadership story surrounding him this year as he fronts a Brazil team hosting the World Cup and although is still a superpower, does not have the star studded roster of past squads. In 2014, 22 year old, 5’9″ Neymar carries the Brazilian team squarely on his shoulders.

Endowed with blazing speed, not the biggest player on the pitch, but fearless to the end, watch Neymar turn his opponents (supposed best players in the world) into fools.
