In Chamizo, Uruguay, a baby came into the world with a name that already has half the football internet talking: Götze Ferrán Rodríguez.
For any Argentina fan, those two words together hurt. Mario Götze was the one who scored the goal that gave Germany the title in the 2014 final. And Ferran Torres scored Spain’s goal in the 2026 World Cup final, also against La Albiceleste. Two blows, one name.
Héctor, the boy’s father, came forward to clarify that there was no football-related intention behind the choice 🤨 Even so, the coincidence is so perfect that social media does not entirely believe him, and the story went viral in a matter of days.
