Uruguay vs France: Strange Moment in the World Cup Quarterfinals

This Friday, the 2018 Russia World Cup kicked off its quarterfinals with the match between Uruguay and France at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium. La Garra Charrúa is giving it all against Les Bleus. However, beyond the intensity of the match, French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris caught the attention.

Around the 20th minute, after a dangerous play, the goalkeeper was about to throw the ball from the back when FIFA cameras captured him in close-up with a strange object in his mouth that the Tottenham Hotspur player was about to spit out.

What happened? This fact also caught the attention on social media, and many fans following the match pointed out that some insect (presumably a locust or dragonfly, due to its size) ended up, to the misfortune of both, in the mouth of the Premier League goalkeeper.

Either way, the anecdote didn't escape funny comments and it is already becoming meme material.
