【China】

Brazil's Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior has become a highlight of the 2018 World Cup — not for his skills,China but for his time spent lying on the pitch.

A study released this week revealed that Neymar has spent an impressive 14 minutes on the ground during the 2018 World Cup. His dramatic falls, slips, fouls, and spills have prompted countless memes, and have even inspired children to act out his most ridiculous moments.
