We’re officially in our last week (!!!) of the World Cup, and IDK about you, but personally, I kinda can’t believe it. What do you mean all of our new friends are gonna be heading back home soon???
Over the course of the tournament, I’ve been saving up photos from matches all month long that were taken at juuuuust the right time, and they all broke my brain a little bit. Here are 19 photos of soccer players who, lowkey, might defy gravity:
1. Look me in the eyes and try to tell me this photo isn’t sick as hell, I dare you:
Another equally as incredible angle:
2. Goalies look like super heros flying, like, 99% of the time:
3. Exhibit B:
4. Bellingham SCORED A GOAL like this WITH HIS HEAD:
5. There’s no way Olise’s attempted overhead kick is obeying the laws of gravity, you simply cannot convince me:
6. I knooooow this one hurt, but it’s giving Renaissance painting:
Another angle:
7. Back to the goalies for a second, he’s just straight diving like this is a pool and not solid, painful ground:
Here’s another angle:
8. These two clashed during the Spain v. Austria game, but, like, how in the heck did he get up there???
9. Mbappé’s face is how I feel just looking at this!
10. Haaland’s legs are giving Radio City Rockettes meet New York City Ballet with that tippy-toe action:
11. Obsessed with how dramatic soccer is. They’re just straight up in the air, like, all the time:
12. “How do they jump so high????” I ponder, as my neck hurts from sitting like a shrimp as I type this:
13. Tell me this isn’t a still from the latest MCU superhero flick, I dare you:
14. Exhibit D for the goalies, argue with the wall. My knees hurt just looking at this:
15. I’ve only ever seen someone’s body contort like that in a horror movie:
16. My brain can’t even process what Hakimi is doing here:
17. This isn’t in the science textbooks!!!!
18. Nothin’ but one foot’s worth of tippy toes on the ground, what do you meaaaaaaaan:
19. In conclusion, I’m gonna go stretch. Acrobats!
