Many fans have come up with comments under FIFA’s tweet. In the comments, the happy expressions of the fans can be seen that the incident has reached FIFA. It is also celebrated by football-fan phases in Kerala.
Giant cutouts of Messi and Neymar were first installed in Pullover. Cristiano Ronaldo came next.
