Who in their right mind would challenge Neymar Jr to a football match? Mark Zuckerberg, that's who, and what's more - he appears to be entirely sane of mind in a video message he posted on Facebook for the Brazilian football star on Monday.
"I've never won a soccer game in my life, but today is my day," says a confident Zuckerberg. Here's why - the game is played on Messenger with emojis and the 'goals' are scored virtually.

'Challenge accepted,' Neymar wrote back and, in true blue sports star fashion, said he was off to train.
