Ganso and Neymar: Two Great Friends, Two Great Talents, Two Different Careers

For anyone in Brazil watching the 2010 World Cup, three talented young players dancing to Beyonce were never far from their TV screens.

To the tune of "Single Ladies," Brazil forward Robinho was seen joking around and doing football tricks with two of his Santos FC colleagues, Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso.

The advertisement, promoting a Brazilian poultry giant, was broadcast all summer long, and even in World Cup stadiums, but to the frustration of many back home, that was the closest Neymar and Ganso (his nickname means "goose") got to joining Robinho in South Africa.
