Corinthians fans react to Memphis Depay's World Cup debut

Corinthians forward Memphis Depay made his first appearance at the 2026 World Cup, coming off the bench for the Netherlands in their match against Japan. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Depay replacing Donyell Malen in the 70th minute.

The performance of the forward, who received a yellow card in the 83rd minute, drew significant attention and mixed reactions from fans of the Brazilian club on social media, who closely followed his impact on the match.

Off the pitch, Depay's preparation made headlines as well. He invited Erich "Vintecinco," a barber who works with various players at Corinthians' Joaquim Grava training center, to the Netherlands' camp in Kansas City to provide grooming services.
