Rurik Gíslason, a previously unheralded midfielder from the German second division, has seen his Instagram following swell by 450,000 overnight after a brief cameo in his nation’s opening game in the World Cup.
He may have only played a half hour in Iceland’s 1-1 draw with Argentina but Rurik Gíslason has already made quite an impression on the World Cup – and more specifically, the sport’s female viewers.
Gíslason’s new legion of female fans will have another chance to watch him in action when Iceland take on Nigeria in their second Group D match on Friday
