Whether you’re a fan of football or not, it’s hard to deny the effect the sport has on people. It’s not just bringing people together—in Malaysia, football season seems to be a good time for businesses as well.
So, there’s no doubt that football is loved by many, and if you need anymore convincing, here are 5 times when fans expressed how much they love the sport by running onto the pitch to…
#1 Shoot a free kick
You know what they say, if you love a team, you run onto the pitch and help shoot a free kick. Is that not the saying? Well, whatever the case, that didn’t stop this fan from taking a shot anyway during a game between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham. Seeing as he took a shot against West Ham, we reckon he’s a diehard Tottenham Hotspur fan.
#2 Run around in circles
This could have been a game-changing moment; it’s a corner kick and football legend David Beckham (when he was still with Manchester United) is about to take the shot when suddenly a kid runs onto the field to… run around in circles only to be later caught by Beckham. We think the kid just wanted a hug from the man himself.
#3 Show off his heroic outfit… and his acting skills
If you’re wearing an awesome outfit, you should flaunt it! That’s exactly what this fan did when he ran onto the pitch in his Spiderman outfit. He then proceeded to re-enact a penalty with another pitch invader.
#4 Plant a kiss
Because when you love someone, you show them your love with kisses, right? One particular pitch invader in the video actually managed a quick peck on Ronaldo’s cheek. Ronaldo on the other hand, didn’t even flinch—he just stood there and took it... what a champ.
#5 Jump and slobber on the players
This is okay because the pitch invaders were cute doggos and not human. Goes to show that even dogs love football. They were of course, ejected from the pitch soon after, but on the plus side, they were lovingly carried out.
What extreme lengths these people (and animals) went to show their love for the game, right? What if we told you, scoring an epic football experience can be simpler? All you gotta do is join Vivo’s FIFANTastic contest happening from now till 6th May 2018!
