'Good footballer... even better actor': Football fans mock Brazil star Neymar for his extravagant diving and writhing antics after being stamped on during his side's World Cup win over Mexico
- Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 in the last-16 World Cup clash on Monday in Russia
- Neymar opened the scoring before Roberto Firmino added a second late on
- However, it was Neymar's theatrics that was the main talking point afterwards
- Fans took to social media to mock the player posting a series of memes online
Neymar may have scored for Brazil in their 2-0 victory over Mexico but it was his theatrics that got everyone talking during the last-16 World Cup clash.
But football fans have flocked to social media to direct their anger and embarrassment towards the player for his theatrics, with Gary Lineker leading the charge.
The former England international, now pundit, wrote on Twitter: 'Neymar has the lowest pain threshold of any player in World Cups since Opta stats began.'
Another social media user, @Scienceofsport, posted a video of the incident, alongside the caption: 'Come on, man. How do you even show your face in public when acting like this?'
However, the social media anger didn't stop there. Someone else amusingly claimed the Paris Saint-Germain star should have entered a 'Seal on Dry Land Imitation Contest'.

The 26-year-old was compared to that 'little sibling that you barely touch and immediately falls on the floor and pretends to be dying'.
Neymar will not be too bothered about the reaction as he helped Brazil progress to the World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over Mexico.
The former Barcelona man opened the scoring in the 51st minute before Roberto Firmino added a second just before injury-time.
ITV pundit Martin O'Neill took a cheeky jab at Neymar following the final whistle: 'His reaction is pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Mark (Clattenburg) is right it’s a red card but the pain threshold of Neymar is incredibly low.
'I wouldn’t want to see him coming out of the doctors’ surgery after getting a flu injection.’
It also provoked a response from former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer.
'It’s absolutely pathetic,' Shearer said. 'There’s no doubting the ability of him. We saw it with the back heel, then the finish and then setting up for the second goal, he’s a magnificent player.
'But it really is pathetic when he is rolling around as if he is in agony. Why does he feel he needs to do that?
'I think I’s been a magnificent tournament but the one downside has been seeing players feign injury and running to the referees and trying to get other players sent off.'
