The Brazilian has become a hit on social media for his theatrics against Switzerland
NEYMAR can score sensational goals and leave defenders in his wake - but social media is also mocking him for the other side of his game.
The Brazilian is a divisive player, capable of magical moments, but is also prone to diving and theatrics.
He took a tumble in the South Americans' opener against Switzerland and proceeded to roll over several times.
And Twitter has not been kind to Neymar, with memes racking up millions of hits on the social media platform.
One such video shows the 26-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward rolling on the Rostov Arena pitch, before tumbling down roads, dirt tracks and mountains.
His theatrics were also used to mock him knocking someone over and then being spun in a web by a spider.
In another GIF, Neymar is seen rolling towards Brazil goalkeeper Alisson, who pops him as he did to a giant ball against Switzerland.
The PSG forward is expected to start against Mexico in the last 16 on Monday.
But El Tri's captain Andres Guardado has called match officials to punish the Brazilian if he continues to dive at the World Cup.
Neymar had a penalty reversed against Costa Rica, after exaggerating contact when in the box.
And Guardado has said: "We all know Neymar, it's not up to me or us to judge, but the referees and Fifa.
"Now they have VAR they have to watch his style of play and the referee needs to be on top of it because we know he likes to exaggerate fouls, he likes to drop on the floor a lot."
