Neymar was fouled by Yedlin, the Newcastle United right back, in the first half of Brazil’s 2-0 win.
The American was caught on camera asking the referee, “Did you watch the World Cup?” in a plea for innocence in the wake of the Brazilian’s admitted record of embellishment.
Neymar’s response? Paraphrasing, but, “I don’t have much to say but I feel sorry for him. I don’t know him and so I don’t have any reason to worry about him.”
