Twitter rips Neymar after Brazilian appears to oversell injury
Neymar fans should avoid Twitter whenever the Brazilian goes down with an injury.
Minutes after the Paris Saint-Germain star gave Brazil a 1-0 lead in Sunday's round of 16 encounter with Mexico, Neymar went down with a knock on the touchline. As Neymar writhed in pain, Miguel Layun approached to retrieve the ball and stepped on the Brazilian's ankle.
While it was a cheap shot by Layun, Neymar didn't win any fans with his reaction.
Twitter was quick to call him out:
Neymar has the lowest pain threshold of any player in World Cups since Opta stats began.

Neymar's has the 'boy who cried wolf' reputation but Layun knew exactly what he was doing with his studs there. #BRAMEX pic.twitter.com/mHRFKMRdBa
