Nigerian comedian and content creator Woli Agba had the internet in stitches after he posted a hilarious reaction video on Instagram following Spain's World Cup victory over Argentina on Saturday, July 19.

In the video, the comedian aimed his frustration squarely at Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, whom he mockingly addressed as "Lamidi Yamal," taking issue with the youngster's celebratory behaviour around Lionel Messi after the final whistle.

"Is Messi your mate? Is it Messi that you are greeting and parting at the back? I expect you to go and prostrate for Messi and say good evening, sir. He carried you when you were a baby. He is older than you by 20 years. You made our legend cry, and you are happy. Whatever you reap, you will sow. Your child will do that for you," he said.

To soften the blow of the loss, the comedian also recalled his own brief and unremarkable football career. He described a moment on the pitch at Liberty where he somehow became a spectator mid-game, standing on the field and cheering the ball as it passed him by rather than actually playing.

Here is the Instagram video of Woli Agba speaking about the FIFA World Cup below:
