Football really is the world’s favourite sporting event drawing a diverse audience.
Some fans are pretty wild.
Twitter user @notDcfcBoss posted a snap of a goose taking an, er, gander at the England vs Croatia semi-final match of the FIFA World Cup.

England lost, by the way, but this goose became the star of the match.

The wild encounter occurred at a vacation rental called Center Parcs.
A fact discovered by a Twitter user familiar with the spot — and the goose.

And other interesting critter sightings at the location.
They form an orderly queue when there’s food around. pic.twitter.com/cs9lTPiJuO
