A Kansas native has captured the hearts of soccer fans across the United States with his touching gesture to the Algerian National Team.
Algeria has made the town of Lawrence, Kansas its homebase for the World Cup, which will kick off on Thursday with the soccer extravaganza taking over the US, Canada and Mexico this summer.
Lawrence, a town with a population of 96,700 on the outskirts of Kansas City, will host the team in between their Group J clashes against reigning champions Argentina, Austria and Jordan.
And the people of Lawrence could not be prouder. So much so, that they have thrown their support behind the Algerians over their own host nation.
One particular local was so enthusiastic to welcome the team to his hometown that his adorable reaction swiftly went viral among soccer fans online.
