The 2026 FIFA World Cup is up and running, and fans are raising eyebrows over the World Cup referee who was given some major shots to drink on the pitch by another referee.
Many could not help but wonder what he was drinking to make him feel better, as some thought it was a mysterious potion of questionable ingredients. The very bizarre scene unfolded during the match between the USA and Australia.
Later in the game, the referee named Felix Zwayer suddenly fell down due to fainting after getting hit by severe leg cramps. He was very exhausted from all the heat and humidity on the rise.
In the rare show of sportsmanship, players from both sides rushed over to help him out and perform stretches. While the game continued to be paused, the fourth official also continued to run over and sprint onto the field to hand him a small packet to drink. All internet sleuths were in overdrive over what that could be.
Now, the pickle juice is what was provided, and that's said to be a very highly effective and scientifically proven remedy used across sports to cure muscle cramps almost instantly.
