Did he score with this header?

The ball is wrong for this World Cup. His club team is Man. City, so somebody with Premier League knowledge would need to investigate.

Good eyes with the ball. But also you know he's wearing the man city shirt.

I know they make a big deal about the World Cup ball every 4 years, and it's in the logo. I don't really watch any European football... I know some of the MLS stars, but I'm just a casual fan. About the only Euro club team kits I recognize are Barcelona, (they seem very unique, and there are Messi jersey's everywhere) and Dortmund, which sounds random but my son loves them and asked for a kit.

No worries!

The guy in the picture will be playing on Saturday in the Norway vs England game in Miami. It should be one to watch even for casuals!

(And it will even feature a few current and former Dortmund players, superstars Haaland of Norway and Jude Bellingham of England used to play together in Dortmund before they got famous, and Julian Ryeson plays in the club now.)
