The FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash between Brazil and Norway has already created plenty of excitement. But before the two teams meet in New York on Sunday, Erling Haaland and Vinicius Jr have become the talk of social media for a completely different reason. A viral meme featuring the two football stars has spread quickly across the internet.

The funny edits have entertained millions of fans. Instead of focusing on their rivalry, Haaland and Vinicius joined in on the joke. Their playful exchange on Instagram, along with a surprise reaction from Hollywood actor Terry Crews , has made the viral trend even more popular ahead of the much-awaited knockout match.

Erling Haaland and Vinicius Jr enjoy viral White Chicks meme before World Cup showdown

Football fans have been creating funny videos by editing the faces of Erling Haaland and Vinicius Jr onto one of the most famous scenes from the comedy film White Chicks. The viral clips replace Haaland with the character Tiffany Wilson, originally played by Marlon Wayans, while Vinicius takes the place of Terry Crews’ character, Latrell Spencer.

The scene shows the two characters singing along to Vanessa Carlton’s hit song A Thousand Miles during a car ride. Fans swapped their faces with the football stars, creating a hilarious version that quickly spread across social media.


Instead of ignoring the trend, Haaland decided to join the fun. Reacting to one of the viral posts on Instagram, the Norway striker joked that he and Vinicius should make their own version of the famous scene together. His playful comment invited the Brazilian winger to recreate the video in real life.

Vinicius Jr quickly responded with laughter. He commented "HAHAHAHAHA", showing that he also enjoyed the joke. The friendly exchange delighted football fans.

The viral video even caught the attention of Hollywood actor Terry Crews, whose memorable performance made the original scene so famous. His reaction added another level of humor to the chatter.

Supporters flooded social media with positive comments. Many said the meme had become just as entertaining as the upcoming World Cup match itself.

Other fans joked that if Erling Haaland and Vinicius ever recreated the scene together, it would become one of football’s greatest social media moments.

The timing has made the meme even more popular because Brazil and Norway are preparing for a huge Round of 16 battle. Norway reached this stage after Haaland scored the winning goal in a dramatic victory over Ivory Coast in the previous round. The Manchester City striker has been one of his country’s standout performers throughout the tournament.

Brazil, meanwhile, booked their place in the knockout clash after coming from behind to defeat Japan. Vinicius Jr did not score in that match, but he nearly gave a stunning solo goal that would have been one of the highlights of the tournament.
