Football has a funny way of turning complete strangers into best friends for 90 minutes. One minute you’re screaming at the TV because someone missed an open goal, and the next you’re replaying iconic moments from World Cups gone by. Think Zinedine Zidane’s unforgettable volley, Andrés Iniesta’s winner in 2010, Mario Götze’s magical finish in 2014, Lionel Messi finally lifting the trophy in 2022, or the countless Cristiano Ronaldo celebrations that have become part of football history.
