The 2014 World Cup kicked off today, and Brazil’s Marcelo Vieira had the honor of scoring the first goal. Unfortunately, it was an own goal. Whoops.
Needless to say, some people were pretty pissed about it, and they took to Twitter to slap Marcelo around. But as it turns out, they made a pretty big blunder of their own:
To all those hurling abuse at me for scoring an own goal, please re-direct your anger to @12MarceloV. Thank you

Yeah … they got the wrong guy. See, that’s Marcello Ferri, a London-based fitness model. And even though he had nothing to do with Brazil’s mistake, he still got punished for it. Quite harshly, in fact:

It didn’t take long for others to jump on the bandwagon, both in genuine anger and in jest:

He’s definitely been having fun with it:
Yep! That must be how I hit the ball to the back of the wrong net… “@PaulEdwards1973: Amazing @Marcello is tweeting during the game”
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
Thanks! “@AdamHollandLFC: @Marcello Nice own goal you shit cunt”
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
I feel sorry for @12MarceloV's timeline right now… “@Koqology: I hope you die. @Marcello”
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
Is this what it's like when a member of 1D tweets… ?
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
That's exactly why… “@tomhamish489: @Marcello you wouldn't have scored that own goal if you hadn't cut your hair #selfishbastard”
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
Football fans not English graduates… “@kangaroo_jaack: Worried about the literacy levels of all the people tweeting abuse to @Marcello”
— Marcello (@Marcello) June 12, 2014
That’s how it’s done.
@Marcello -Your responses are actually hysterical!!Good for you..made my night!?? some people are thick as shit..#playandtweet ??
