Brazilian priest and footballer Endrick spark viral World Cup jokes

Father Josileudo Queiroz, a priest with more than two million Instagram followers, posted a light‑hearted video during the World Cup in which he deliberately confused the name of the Ivory Coast team, saying "Costa do Marquim" and preferring Norway. The clip quickly went viral across Brazilian social media, drawing attention for its spontaneous humor that mixed religion and sport.

Separately, teenage Brazilian forward Endrick was captured on video offering Carlo Ancelotti’s chewing gum to teammates and fans, a reference to the Italian coach’s well‑known habit of chewing gum after FIFA banned smoking on the pitch. The incident generated a wave of jokes online, with users teasing that the gum exchange was why Endrick might be kept on the bench.
