DR Congo's famous living statue made his World Cup debut on Tuesday as the superfan watched their narrow group stage defeat by Colombia. The fan‚ Michel Nkuka Mboladinga‚ earned fame during the Africa Cup of Nations for posing as a statue of DR Congo's assassinated independence leader Patrice Lumumba for the entirety of games. He had been forced to wait to watch his national team at the World Cup - DR Congo's first since they competed as Zaire in 1974‚ after missing their draw due to Ebola quarantine requirements.
For players seeking a transfer‚ there's no better opportunity to put themselves in the shop window than at a World Cup.

One of those‚ a long-range volley against Uruguay‚ will go down as one of the greatest strikes in World Cup history. Weeks later‚ Real Madrid came calling with a bid of more than £70million.
The World Cup usually attracts plenty of A-listers but as football's biggest tournament unfolds across Mexico‚ the United States and Canada‚ it's also now influencers‚ content creators and social media personalities that appear on our screens. From football-focused creators and lifestyle influencers to viral internet stars‚ the tournament has become a gathering place for some of the most recognisable faces online. It's no longer just Shakira‚ David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds in the stands. England's opening clash with Croatia proved particularly popular‚ attracting a host of well-known creators eager to document the occasion for their millions of followers.
