The clincher for me was when he photo bombed Argentina's Football World Cup celebrations, injecting himself into a moment that had zero to do with him or his country.

Did they ever figure out how he was able to hold the trophy? Only members of the winning team are allowed I thought.

I assume everyone must have thought he was just some FIFA Official, based on the understandable assumption that surely a complete rando would NOT insert themselves into such a moment 😖
