5 one-star player international teams

The 33-year-old has scored 56 goals for his country

#2 Neymar

Neymar is 5th in the list of Brazil’s all-time top goalscorers

This might be labelled as a controversial choice, but looking at Brazil’s recent performances without him, this isn’t an entirely ridiculous claim.

At first, the drubbing at the hands of the German comes to the mind. As Neymar was injured for the semifinal clash against Germany, Brazil’s attack looked completely toothless – despite having some terrific players – and they could only score one in reply to the Germans’ 7.

There are other names like Oscar, Willian, Douglas Costa and so on, but none of them have the influence of the Barcelona man and the stats clearly reflect that. In 67 games for the Samba country, he has scored an astonishing 46 goals. He almost guarantees a goal, at least, every game and it is for this reason that Brazil could be labelled as a one-man attack team.
