Most football fans are watching the FIFA World Cup while vicariously playing every game themselves in their head. So when they see a fellow fanatic with extraordinary skills, they cannot but rave.

In this case, it was Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra, who posted videos of a man showing how to juggle a football – while sanding on a pole. You have to wonder whether the ball is, quite literally, stuck to his foot.

Some social media users have identified the man as a regular performer of similar tricks in Paris.
