Nothing brings people together like a drama queen they can mock.

Earlier this week, Brazilian star soccer player Neymar made headlines when he suffered a mild injury he made to look like hellish torment.

Now fans around the world have started the #NeymarChallenge, designed to imitate the star player's explosively theatrical injury.

Here's the original video heard 'round the world.

You may have already seen this group of students perform this challenge perform to perfection. If not, you're welcome.

Honestly, everyday non-World Cup players can play Neymar better than Neymar can play himself.

Most of us will never become World Cup superstars. We can, however, all learn to howl on the ground like an injured dog/high-maintenance soccer star.

That's a goal worth aiming for.
