Neymar back heel fail.
In the 18th round of the Brasileirão 2010 Santos' latest 18 year old wonderkid Neymar took the opportunity to do some showboating in a game against Avaí, His attempted back-heel didn't exactly come off, but to be fair to the kid it normally does.
Neymar's Panenka penalty fail
On 29 July 2010 Santos' 18 year old wonderkid Neymar won and took a penalty in a Copa Brasil game against Vitória. Neymar had the balls to try a Panenka penalty chipping the ball straight towards the goalkeeper's position expecting him to dive either way as Sebastián Abreu had famously done only a few weeks earlier to win the World Cup quarter final against Ghana and originally inspired by Antonin Panenka who famously used the technique in the European Cup final against Germany back in 1976.
Unfortunately for Neymar he ended up looking a bit of a tit as the Vitória goalkeeper Lee saw it coming and stood exactly where he was to calmly make one of the easierst saves of his career.
Here is the original and the best from the few men in World football to have a specific move named in his honour.

Neymar 7 minute hat-trick vs Goiás, Brasileirão 2010
On 21 November Brazilian side Goiás faced a must win game against Santos in the 36th round of the Brasileirão 2010, without a win they were certain to be relegated. After 11 minutes things were looking good for the home team, they had established a 1-0 lead and looked like extending Santos' run of 6 games without a win.
Danilo equalised for Santos after 19 minutes but Goiás still had a chance of saving themselves until the referee awarded Santos a penalty. Brazil's latest wonder kid 18 year old Neymar scored it on 75 minutes and by the 82nd minute he had completed his hat-trick to make the score 1-4 and Goias were relegated to Serie B.
