A grand total of 14 minutes. And that doesn't include the time he rolls around in the floor in training.

Neymar. Oh Neymar. Brilliant footballer, when he actually has the ball and isn’t rolling around on the pitch pretending to have suffered some life-ending injury.
The World Cup isn’t even over yet and already Neymar has spent a considerable amount of time pretending he’s injured. And OMG, while we were looking for a picture for his article, it seems he does it during training, too.
Can’t deal.
Look, we know some sides have actively targetted him and tried to rough him up, but the dude loves a bit of exaggeration.
How much exaggeration, we hear you ask…
A whole fourteen minutes to be exact.
This stat comes courtesy of Swiss outlet RTS Sports, they took one of the team and tallied it all up. Sure, Neymar has been fouled 23 times at the World Cup, but he has milked those fouls for all they’re worth.
