After Brazilian defender Marcelo scored on his own goal in the opening game of the World Cup, rabid Brazilian fans took to Twitter and railed against the soccer star.
Vice Sports pointed out that fans hurled angry tirades at a hunky Italian model named Marcello Ferri instead of the Brazilian soccer star.
The model and dancer is taking all the insults in stride and is having fun with his new Twitter fame.
Angry fans should have been tweeting Marcelo with the handle @12MarceloV. Surely both are happy with all the new followers they got during the mixup and a Brazil victory over Croatia.
