Someone blamed Hyundai for David de Gea’s gaffe – and then Hyundai joined in
This is one of those marvellous moments when you make a joke about some giant faceless corporation – and the giant faceless corporation joins in.
It started when someone noticed this about Spanish keeper David de Gea’s comedy gaffe against Christiano Ronaldo in the World Cup (you might have to look once or twice to clock it).
Guys, I’ve figured it out. The car knocks the ball out of his hands. pic.twitter.com/Yszpz9qIJM

Beautifully spotted sir!
Lots of people joined in, of course.
Fair play Dave to continue playing after the collision

And then so did these guys.
Which got almost as many retweets as the original joke.
Hyundai owe you money for this.

True. @HyundaiEurope surely all this free advertising is worth at least a model Hyundai I30N or something? #SellOutDan

Nah, it brought attention to the first ever World Cup goal scored by a car company. Hit me up @Hyundai_UK

And this person deserves some kind of prize as well.
He was truly left Hyundrai.
