After over 100 matches at ungodly hours of the morning, the World Cup is set to end this Sunday.

The semi-finals kick off on Tuesday evening, when Spain face France, before England take on Argentina on Wednesday — with a shot at destiny in New Jersey this Sunday.

With the narrative of this World Cup being that the tournament has been somehow rigged so that Argentina and Messi can go back-to-back, some memes and clips have been doing the rounds on social media — including ones that use our national sport.

With Kerry booking their place in the All-Ireland final against Mayo next Sunday, one of the main highlights was David Clifford’s early penalty — which was saved by Evan Comerford, only for Clifford to catch the ball on the rebound for a goal.

While such a play is pretty good stuff in the GAA (minus the dire penalty), many football (soccer) fans have said this is how Argentina will ‘cheat’ their way to the final on Sunday.

The video, captioned ‘if Argentina get a penalty on Wednesday,’ has gained over 20 million views on Twitter (X) — with many international World Cup fans wondering what the hell they were after witnessing.

‘Dawg, what is this f***ing sport,’ one tweeted, while another added: ‘Gaelic football looks like a sport that would be going on in my dreams or something.’

Others appeared to be on board with the madness that is the GAA; however, one tweeted: ‘I’m gonna quit soccer to play that.’

Meanwhile, on these shores, we were all amused by our national sport going viral — with several people joking that tweets like these were more of a promo for the GAA than the GAA has done.

‘This crossover between the World Cup and the GAA is generational,’ one tweeted, while another added: ‘genuinely funny how the World Cup has done more for GAA promotion than the GAA has done in years.’

‘Gaelic Football being used for soccer memes for the World Cup is accidental visibility for the GAA that couldn’t have been predicted,’ another wrote, while another added: ‘Gaelic Football getting an American audience via a meme tweet would be soooo funny I love the GAA.’

Remarkably, this isn’t the first time the GAA has gone viral this tournament — after Donald Trump was rendered in the clip of Owen Mulligan’s iconic goal in the 2005 All-Ireland quarter-final against Dublin.

Argentina managed to beat Switzerland 3-1 AET in the quarter-final of the tournament, having beaten Cape Verde and Egypt in the round of 32 and the Last 16, respectively — the latter in an incredible yet controversial 3-2 comeback.

England put two past Norway in the quarter-final to set up the match with Argentina on Wednesday in Atlanta, Georgia.

France has cruised through the tournament so far, having beaten Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco in the knockouts to set up a semi-final clash with Spain, who have only conceded one goal so far this tournament — in the quarter-final against Belgium.
