So, yeah, maybe this Neymar character is pretty good after all. The Brazilian wunderkind got the Confederations Cup off to a quick start, scoring this thumping volley in the third minute vs. Japan. Give the assist to Fred for a perfect chest pass into the path of Neymar.

Brazil leads 1-0 closing in on halftime.
