The phrase comes from Brazilian football broadcasts, where narrator Galvão Bueno regularly consulted former referee Arnaldo Cezar Coelho about controversial decisions. When a play looked illegal or unfair, Bueno's incredulous question captured the audience's reaction in a few seconds, and clips of the exchange began circulating as a meme among Brazilian football fans. It spread through reaction videos, edits and social posts, where the question works even outside football as shorthand for disbelief, much like other memorable Brazilian football commentary moments.

Galvão Bueno asks Arnaldo Cezar Coelho pode isso in disbelief during a football broadcast, a Brazilian meme sound used to question absurd plays and decisions.
This short clip captures Brazilian football narrator Galvão Bueno turning to former referee Arnaldo Cezar Coelho in a moment of disbelief, asking whether a controversial play should really be allowed. His voice rises with incredulity, stretching the question as if he already knows the answer is no, while the broadcast atmosphere makes the exchange feel instantly familiar to football fans. The effect is comic and confrontational at once, turning a serious refereeing doubt into a punchline. Listeners recognise the tone immediately, even without seeing the match, because the exasperated delivery sells the feeling that something absurd has just happened on the pitch.
