Llama-Masked Fan Follows Argentina Team

Llama-Masked Fan Follows Argentina Team

There's a man named Cristhian who is wearing a llama mask and following the Argentina soccer team to their matches.

He started doing this as a favor for his friend Javier, who couldn't travel because his passport had expired.

Cristhian has been interacting with fans outside the stadiums and even got sponsored by a telecom company to cover his travel expenses.

He's been to five matches so far and is hoping to get a ticket to the final match in New Jersey.

After the World Cup, he'll go back to his job in Miami, where he runs a startup called Miamix that does content and interviews for Inter Miami.

The llama mask has become a lucky charm for him and the team.
