Brazilian star Neymar has shown his skills on the field during the World Cup, but he's also displayed his acting skills.
Very useful video. Thanks BBC Learning English.

I have to make a confession: I don't allow myself missing a single episode of this program! (Or should I say... don't allow myself to miss... )

I'm Brazilian and I felt so embarrassed by Neymar's behavior during World Cup. Fortunately, he came clean. He looked like a crybaby.
