Neymar

Although the Brazilian wasn't as bad as the other three on the list, he had a fairly sub-par outing against Switzerland. He couldn't get possession of the ball and also missed out on a couple of half-chances. He wasn't his usual self and was fouled for a mammoth 10 times. It was the most in FIFA World Cup history in the last 20 years. It was as if the Swiss defenders were there present only for the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Neymar.

Whenever Neymar got possession of the ball, he lost it - courtesy, the ruthlessness of the Swiss. The modern master has scored 55 goals in 86 games for Brazil and will hope to take the country to World Cup glory.
