World Cup hotspots: Harry Kane’s face shaved into fan’s head

Editor's note: A commercial that pokes fun at Neymar's rolling around, Harry Kane’s face shaved into a fan’s head, a Colombian family that’s outnumbered but hoping for victory, and a pub’s results-predicting octopus are this week's World Cup hot topics.

KFC South Africa pokes fun at Neymar's rolling around with World Cup commercial

KFC in South Africa is cashing in on the World Cup by taking a jab at Neymar and his flops in its latest advertisement. Fouls on the striker often lead to the Brazilian soccer player writhing on the ground in pain, leaving even those in the acting world aghast at his antics.

In the advertisement, a footballer goes down during a match and rolls straight down the tunnel as the confused stretcher bearers follow him.

He then makes his way across town, forcing a skateboarder to jump over him and delighting some children having a game of soccer.

By the time the camera crew has caught up with him, the ace has a bag of KFC in his hand and viewers are given the catchy tagline "make a meal of it".
