🎥 Haaland as Techno Viking! Best AI clips before quarters | OneFootball

We’re entering crunch time at the 2026 World Cup. Eight nations are still in it. The quarterfinals kick off today. But despite all the seriousness in these remaining matches with huge significance for the football universe, the fun shouldn’t get left behind.

AI-generated clips can bring exactly the right amount of lightness. Especially in a World Cup context. Before the final eight matches, we’ve put together a little bouquet of AI clips for you. 

We may have already seen this clip before with Erling Haaland and Vinicius Jr., but the remake with Harry Kane works just as well for us. 

Like a striker right on the offside line, the following clip is also pushing the boundaries of what’s allowed. But VAR says: no clear and obvious error!

Lionel Messi with a mustache like that was reason enough on its own to include this video here. 

It feels like there’s no getting past Haaland at the moment anyway. The man is everywhere. 

And once again, some pregame entertainment for the World Cup blockbuster between England and Norway. 

Of course, many fans would also have liked to see Portugal in the quarterfinals. Cristiano Ronaldo and co. were knocked out by Spain, though. Too bad Thomas Tuchel isn’t allowed to call up replacement players. Sir Christian Ronaldson would have been ready.

The last clip will probably only make sense to the older ones among you. If not, just type Techno Viking into a search engine afterward. 

Now it’s your turn: which clip was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
