Brazilian star Neymar da Silva sparked widespread controversy after the Brazilian national team’s exit from the 2026 World Cup.

After losing to Norway (1-2) in the round of 16, Neymar lowered the curtain on his international career, which lasted 16 years, announcing his retirement from international football, leaving a great legacy as the all-time top scorer for the “Samba” team.

Days after his exclusion, cameras spotted Neymar at the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, roaming around on a scooter designated for people with special needs, amidst security guards, which raised the astonishment of observers due to his appearance in normal physical condition.

In an attempt to overcome the shock of the exit, Neymar headed to Las Vegas to participate in the “World Series of Poker” tournament, but he left the competition early, which added a new disappointment to his summer full of failures.
