New Delhi, June 18 – India may not be a football nation, competent enough to qualify for the World Cup, but fans of this sport in this nation are not short of contributing their own two Brazilian Reals to the World Cup.
Twitter, they are finding, is the best place to play their game – through funny memes. One such meme is from a Mumbaikar by the name of TweetErrant, who describes himself as a ‘right arm, medium-pace engineer’.
His meme shows a badly cropped frame of German football player Thomas Mueller scoring a goal, planted on the pedestal of the celestial dancer Lord Nataraja. The idea is clear: Lord Mueller performing the cosmic dance to destroy Portugal in a football match.
On Monday, Thomas Mueller scored a hat trick as Germany turned on its style and power to rout 10-man Portugal 4-0 in their World Cup Group G opener.Earlier, memes posted by European twitterati showed Netherland’s Van Persie midair, wearing a Superman vest, when he scored the acrobatic goal against Spain in their 5-1 victory on Friday.
