Gökçe received plenty of criticism for his ‘cringeworthy’ behaviour from commentators, who were also left wondering just how on earth he had managed to get on the pitch and why he was touching and kissing the trophy.Īccording to FIFA’s own rules, stated on their website, “As one of the most recognised sports symbols in the world and a priceless icon, the original FIFA World Cup™ Trophy can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup™ and heads of state.” Nobody is sure which of those two categories Salt Bae falls into… The chef also tried to get man-of-the-moment (that should probably be man-of-the-last 18 years) Lionel Messi’s attention, but he was having none of it.Ī post shared by Nusr_et#Saltbae Why was Salt Bae on the pitch celebrating with Argentina? Head over to Salt Bae’s Instagram channel – nusr_et - and you might stumble across a video of him and an incredibly bemused-looking Ángel Di María posing with the World Cup trophy (that one includes the most awkward thumbs up you’re likely to see) or Cristián Romero smiling and laughing politely as Gökçe snatches the trophy away from his young son.
