June 16, 2026 · David Ortega
Neymar Jr. faced criticism for his appearance during Brazil's match against Morocco. Not playing due to injury, his sideline presence drew negative remarks from commentators Manolo Lama and Julio Maldonado.

Neymar Jr., despite his ongoing recovery from a right leg muscle injury, was present on the bench during Brazil's match against Morocco. As Brazil took on Morocco, Neymar drew attention not for his play, but for his fashion choices. Sporting a backward white cap, gold chains, and matching earrings, Neymar's look was harshly criticized by Spanish commentators Manolo Lama and Julio Maldonado. "Seeing Neymar with those earrings and that cap makes me sick," Lama exclaimed. Maldonado echoed the sentiment, questioning the seriousness of Neymar's bench appearance, laden with gold watches and jewelry. Despite the criticism, Neymar is expected to continue his rehabilitation and aims to contribute significantly to Brazil's pursuit of another World Cup title.
