He Who Worships for Argentina

There is one heck of a video that has gone viral over past week, here is who uploaded the video.

In recent news feeds following the FIFA world cup 2018 start-up, one video came into the limelight. This video grabbed public attention quite easily in a sense it depicts fairly different way a fan celebrates the team he supports. Yes, the guy in the video worships the Hindu deities with Sanskrit mantras.


In these weird seasons of Worldcup people do crazy stuffs. Someone shatters the TV screen when his supporting team loses. Some people perform motorbike rally with team jersey of their preference. And this is one fella who creates a unique video and becomes viral over 24 hours.


He gives a prologue before starting the rituals saying the idea goes to Haribhakta Kaka. The day he uploaded the video from his account had match Argentina playing against Iceland. He is self-acclaimed aficionado of Lionel Messi.

Who is he?

He is Mr. Devendra Oli from Jhapa; rumor has it that he happens, in some way, to be the cousin of PM KP Oli. The dp in Facebook portrays him in a Vamos Argentina frame where Messi is gleefully pointing his forefinger to the right. His fandom towards Argentina arose after he started watching football played by Messi.

In the video he is shown with his wife Geeta Neupane Oli and two sons. One seems to be the crying toddler who stealthily takes banana that was there for offering to the god. The god did not get banana as it was already bit by the child, and in a process he says, “Okay the fruit has already been offered herein instead.” The other funny part is when he makes his wife worship Argentinean Jersey. 

Devendra removed the video from his Timeline the next day explaining that people used foul-words in the comments, but it was already out on the troll pages in a viral sensation. The most expected player Messi lost from securing goal to a penalty kick, even though the score was a draw with Iceland.    

Argentina is playing against Croatia on Thursday (June 21) at 11:45 PM Nepali Time. Let's see if his worship really works this time.
