Very much so. He had spent all of his benefit of the doubt, and the referee was watching him very, very closely. The ref didn't indulge him, and waited for VAR to chime in if he made a big mistake.
I was kind of hoping Neymar would prove me wrong, but he still pulled off a couple of hilarious dives. Any criticism of him and his antics is fully deserved, and I think that it would have been better for him and his team if he didn't become a sideshow during this tournament.
