World Cup manager becomes meme after sublime fist pumping gif

Prince Harry running off mid-interview. Daniel Radcliffe holding a gun in each hand while shooting his new movie. That woman who looked super stunned when she saw Beyoncé.

Well, forget all those people, because there's a new meme in town. And the subject of this one comes complete with a super cool demeanour and what may be the greatest soccer celebration of all time:

 The man in that clip if Aliou Cissé, manager of Senegal's World Cup team. On Tuesday they took on Poland in their first group match, and ended up winning 2-1.

Let's go in for that all-important close-up.

It's also worth noting, since Senegal won their opening game, there's a decent chance Cissé will be getting a fair bit more screen time over the coming days/weeks.

And he's clearly not a one-meme wonder...

World Cup France vs Australia Live Score: Goalless At Halftime, France Fail To Break Down Australia

France dominated the first half of their opening World Cup encounter against Australia but have failed to make a breakthrough against their stubborn opponents. Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe have posed quite a few problems for the Australians but have been wasteful in the final third. Australia despite defending for large parts of the game had the best chance from a free-kick but were denied by a smart save from Hugo Lloris. France coach Didier Deschamps left Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud on the bench as teenager Mbappe led Les Bleus' front line in Kazan. Mbappe, one of 14 players in France's squad who have yet to feature in a major tournament, has been in great form for Paris Saint-Germain last season and started Saturday's Group C opener flanked by Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele of Barcelona. Deploying his preferred 4-3-3, 1998 World Cup winners Deschamps' midfield saw Manchester United's Paul Pogba alongside Corentin Tolisso of Bayern Munich and Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.
