Should you ever find yourself in the position of receiving a red card, just try to control yourself and don't react like this guy did. It's bad.

Neymar And Brazil Jeered Off The Pitch Following 0-0 Draw With South Africa

With a squad containing the likes of Neymar, Renato Augusto, Gabriel Jesus and Rafinha, it was understandable that a huge home crowd booed their own team off the pitch following a scoreless opening Olympic match against South Africa.

Este tipo literalmente baila en el campo cuando saca habilidades

Estoy indeciso. Si jugara contra el futbolista sudafricano Thabo Rakhale me enfadaría mucho. Diría cosas como, "nada de lo que hace tiene ningún impacto en el juego". Actuaría como un blanco normal, pero trataría de encerrarlo, robar el balón, y asegurarme de que sus tonterías nunca funcionen. No puedo evitar ser como soy.

Pero mirándolo... quiero gritar "¡bájalo!" cada vez que toca el balón y gritarle a todos los defensores que intentan protegerlo, "ES UN HOMBRE MAAALO".
