When 32 teams and 736 players come together for a month-long tournament, it’s inevitable that crazy, strange and funny things will happen. And with the Internet going nuts these days, nothing goes unseen.
Be it Germany coach Joachim Loew picking his nose immediately before shaking hands with Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo, or Alejandro Sabella’s failed trust fall — it’s all in our compilation of the World Cup’s funniest, most hilarious moments.
Here is the complete list:
Miguel Herrera’s hugs: If Mexico score, run! Or you are at the risk of being crushed by a Herrera hug — as much of his coaching staff found out.
England physio breaks ankle during celebration:
Moving from celebratory smile to wince in pain in a mere 1.5 seconds poor Gary Lewin had easily the most traumatic reaction to England goal. To add insult to this substantial injury, England didn’t even make it past the group stages. And the fact that he was their physio only adds an element to this entire tragicomedy.
Gerrard dived next to a referee?
Really Gerrard? what he was thinking? Or maybe his peripheral vision was affected at the time. Can he plead temporary blindness?
Rooney’s ridiculous corner:
The icing on the cake for Rooney and Manchester United haters. This was easily the worst corner of the whole tournament, prompting one wag from London to tweet that the ball from that corner had landed in his front yard
Sabella falling:
The funniest moment was Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella doing a backward trust fall after seeing his team miss a chance. This one was priceless.
Martins Indi eyes: Are scary. See for yourself.
