Neymar might have netted an important opener against Mexico and assisted Roberto Firmino but his theatrics on the touchline following a minor stamp from Miguel Layun left everyone stunned. Well, Neymar is no stranger to diving and simulation, but the way he tried to attract the referee's attention to the wrongdoing of his opponent was incredible even by his standards. The PSG star rolled over in agony at the feet of Tite and fourth official Meteu Lahoz but neither of them could fathom what was going on. The referee Gianluca Rocchi chose to consult his VAR assistants but deemed no disciplinary action was needed. Seconds later Neymar was on the pitch and went on to harass Mexico defenders as if nothing happened.


Reactions from pundits and fans suggest it was Neymar's most dramatic theatrics ever:


Miserable stuff...
