What did Neymar say to Nyland?

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup last‑16 match between Brazil and Norway, Neymar and Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland had a short, heated exchange before Neymar’s penalty kick, and a three‑word remark after he scored it.

The pre‑penalty exchange

As Neymar picked up the ball to take the penalty, Nyland shouted:

“I’m going to stop you. I’m going to stop you.”

Neymar replied calmly:

“Are you sure?”
“Where do you want me to put it?”

He then struck the penalty into the back of the net for Brazil’s only goal in the 2–1 loss.

The three‑word post‑penalty remark

After scoring, Neymar got close to Nyland and said a three‑word phrase that was decoded by a lip reader as:

“You’re not good.”

Reports describe it as taunting and chippy, with Neymar also smiling and laughing in Nyland’s face even as Brazil were eliminated. Nyland later said his penalty save had inspired Norway and did not appear to focus on the comments.

Context and reaction

  • The incident happened in what is widely seen as Neymar’s last World Cup.
  • Some media and fans called the behavior poor sportsmanship, given Brazil were already down 2–1 and the match was essentially over.
  • Others viewed it as typical penalty‑spot psychological warfare between a striker and a keeper.

If you’re looking for the exact wording, the most concrete answers are:

  • Before the penalty: “Are you sure?” and “Where do you want me to put it?”
  • After the penalty (three‑word taunt): “You’re not good.”
