Watch Hilarious Moment Weston McKennie Sends Social Media Wild by Drying Hands on Photographer' Vest
- last year
USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie caught the eye during the first half for a strange, yet hilarious moment which sent soccer fans wild on social media.
During the United States' pulsating, scoreless first half vs. England, McKennie went over to a photographer before wiping his hand on the man's vest in an attempt to dry his hands before a throw-in.
The strange moment looked to take the elderly worker by surprise while one of his colleagues looked on in bemusement.
It occurred in the 38th minute with the scores tied at 0-0, though McKennie's other major involvement should have seen a change in the score line.
Elon Musk's Twitter was set alight as a result of the moment with one fan suggesting it was a completely 'disgusting' act.
'McKennie's direct pull of the old man's vest and making a napkin of his hand were the clearest demonstration of typical American culture. Disgusting, disrespectful, unprofessional people... #USAvENG,' the user wrote.
Though the reaction was mostly of hilarity. One onlooker said 'Weston McKennie casually using the photographer as a towel,' followed by a laughing emoji.
A fellow fan of the move said 'ahhagaha oh my god the whole house is yelling rn.'
Sixteen minutes prior, the Juventus midfielder ballooned a half-volley over the bar after a beautifully-placed cross from Timothy Weah.
Otherwise it was a superb first-half performance, full of verve, desperation and as the photographer now knows all too well, perspiration.
