HE may earn €81.5 million a year but Brazilian superstar Neymar has been branded a "whinge bag" by top Irish player Stephanie Roche.

The Republic and Sunderland star, who came second in Fifa's goal of the year award in 2014, tweeted that although Neymar was a "class player" he should "stop moaning".

Brazil scraped past Costa Rica with two late goals in today's World Cup game. In the closing stages of the match, Neymar was denied a penalty, prompting Roche to tweet that he was just "proving my point".
