Neymar leads Brazil into quarter finals
Brazil defeated Mexico to advance to the quarter finals of the World Cup and Neymar has blamed his opponents for talking too much during the game.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward had an argument with Miguel Layun in the second half of the game, after the Mexican stepped on the Brazilian.
"It was unfair, as the ball wasn't in play and we were off the field," he said.
"[The Mexicans] talked a lot, too much, and went home."
The former Barcelona star went on to applaud his team's effort during the tournament.
"I want to congratulate the whole team," he added.
"There are moments of the game in which, sometimes, you have to suffer.
"Mexico are a very good team, but we showed a lot of quality."
Neymar scored his team's first in their 2-0 victory.
