It seems as though Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister got a little excited after winning the World Cup with Argentina.
The 23-year-old was in fine form throughout his first World Cup tournament and laid on a glorious assist for Angel di Maria to double Argentina's lead in the final against France.
He was substituted in extra time but watched on as Argentina prevailed 4-2 on penalties after a breathtaking 3-3 draw at the Lusail Stadium.

The former Argentinos Juniors midfielder celebrated wildly with his teammates after delivering Argentina's third World Cup triumph and soon his family and friends were on the pitch with him.
His dad, former Boca Juniors and Argentina player Carlos, proudly posed with Mac Allister and the trophy.
And so too did his girlfriend Camlai Mayan, who shared snaps of the two of them with the caption, "I LOVE YOU CHAMPION!! No words, we did it! LETS GO ARGENTINA".
But Mac Allister's cheeky comment in response to his other half has gone viral. Translated, his message on the Instagram post reads, "I love you!! Let's fuckkkkkkk" alongside two love hearts.

If we're being honest, it would not be a surprise if a number of the Argentina players become fathers nine months from now in September 2023 given the celebrations.
In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say there could be record births in the South American country.
Mac Allister was arguably the Man of the Match in the final and his stock has risen massively in the World Cup. There's bound to be interest from top clubs as a result but Brighton, who paid £7 million to sign him in 2019, are hopeful he stays around.

"Of course, when staff and players do well, as we've seen in the last few months, they do attract the interest of other big clubs," chief executive Paul Barber told the BBC.
"These are clubs that are wealthier and have the chance to give players a new level, we understand that and we're not naive to that.
"All we can do is protect ourselves the best we can through the contracts and hope we can hold on to the player for as long as possible, but this is a young man who has just won the World Cup at 23 and set up arguably one of the most iconic goals in World Cup history."

Brighton are back in action in the Carabao Cup with a clash against Charlton on Wednesday, before they play Southampton and Arsenal over the Christmas period.
However, Mac Allister will be given time off to celebrate such a triumph back home in Argentina.
