South Korea may have lost the international friendly match against Uruguay 1-0, but it had its shining moment when their tiger mascot, Baekho, dramatically feigned injury after a misplaced pass struck him.
After the ball ricocheted into his face, Baekho pretended to collapse while clutching his face with his large paws. Not many spectators seemed fazed by the act, except maybe the one photographer nearby who looks back with a hint of concern.
While the simulation has been called shameful and accused of seeking sympathy from the referee, you have to admit, it’s pretty hilarious.
