Woman Catching Man Appearing to Flirt at World Cup Goes Viral: 'Busted'

Footage of a female Brazil fan has gone viral after she was seen applying makeup during a match, using a man's phone to see what she was doing, before appearing to catch him flirting.

The 15-second clip has been viewed more than 14 million times on Twitter since it was shared during Brazil's World Cup quarter-final defeat by Croatia, in which the Samba Boys were beaten on penalties.

Before tears flowed over Brazil's exit from the tournament in Qatar, there was a little moment in which the man held up his phone to help the woman apply makeup, before ruining any kudos he may have earned by appearing to catch someone's eye and being caught by the woman, who gives him a disapproving look.

The comment "f****** busted" can be heard on the viral clip.

The Twitter user who posted the clip, which has been retweeted 25,000 times and had over 205,000 likes, captioned the video with: "Best thing I've seen at the World Cup so far."

It would seem that a lot of people agreed but many also went in on the man, who's smile and winking was thought to be rather deceitful.

Others commented that you cannot get past a woman's sixth sense that something untoward is happening.

One person tweeted: "Bruh fr she wasn't even looking at him, how tf did she know??"

Another joked: "His smile and optimism, GONE"

A third added, "And it's the look she gave him when she lifted her head."

While the female Brazil fan may not have been overenamored at the reaction of her would-be suitor, another woman has shared her displeasure that her man was snubbed at the World Cup.

Georgina Rodríguez, Cristiano Ronaldo's long-time girlfriend, shared her thoughts on the super star being dropped by Portugal for the 6-1 win against Switzerland in the Round of 16.

The model voiced her anger on Instagram following the match on 6 December, while praising Portugal for the victory.

"Congratulations Portugal. While the 11 players sang the anthem, all eyes were on you. What a shame not to have been able to enjoy the best player in the world for 90 minutes," Rodríguez wrote.

"The fans did not stop asking for you and shouting your name. May God and your dear friend [Portugal coach] Fernando [Santos] continue hand in hand and make us vibrate one more night."

The latter part of Rodríguez's message could be interpreted as a hope that Santos would play Ronaldo in Portugal's quarter-final match on Saturday against Morocco.

It would seem the message can't have got through as Ronaldo was once again consigned to the bench until the latter stages of Portugal's shock defeat by Morocco.

The most enduring image of CR7's World Cup is him in tears as he walks back to the locker room alone, with just a television camera as company, capturing his sadness in possibly the last-ever World Cup game for the ageing superstar striker.
