Viral World Cup moments take over social media

About this episode

The FIFA World Cup has generated viral social media moments featuring unique fan traditions and unofficial mascots. Merlin the Duck became Mexico's beloved symbol after celebrating their first victory, while Norway's Viking-inspired rowing chant captivated audiences and even the Norwegian parliament. The Democratic Republic of Congo's superfan Michelle honours the country's first Prime Minister by standing motionless throughout matches in a pose mirroring a memorial statue.
