I think they are wrong. Neymar has NEVER been a locker room problem for Brazil. Brazilian teammates love Neymar. Neymar's main criticism has always been that he dribbles too much and does those fake dives which draw a lot of negative media attention. But Brazil never really lost because of Neymar's action on the pitch. He dives and he often fails to perform, but Neymar has always given 100% for Brazil.

You don’t understand what Neymar is to Brazil and the rest of the world.. The game is played for fans after all, not for the media and pundits like Rob..

This unknown guy on panel has been hater of Neymar since way back when Ney was at Barca…Neymar was at his peak at Barca and this guy thought he wasn’t good. Really bro? who are you? Like literally, it’s like a cat disrespecting a Lion. That’s what you are.

I don't enjoy watching football without Neymar. He deserves a World Cup!!! And those who say he shouldn't be in the squad are either haters or lacks knowledge.

Neymar is an old 34 year old but having his experience will be key in knockout matches when they face better defenses. The likes of Vini and Raphina may be lethal in counter attacks but when teams defend deep, they will need a Neymar. Hope they go far in this World Cup

He doesn’t have to play .just his presence in the group is important Brazil lost the WC 2014 because they left out Kaka, failed to bring Diego Costa . Neymar brings joy, leadership ,experience

Brazil going to be crying like in 2014 with that ageing squad, but they are not the only ones.
