world cup - Cote D’Ivoire midfielder Serey Die cries as he listens to his national anthem

The player explained the moment on Instagram after the game.
“Hello, I just want to say that it's wrong what they all say, that I was moved because of my dad, but he died in 2004 and it was just the excitement of being in a World Cup and serving my country,” Die said.
“I never thought one day I would be at this level of competition.”
There you go. It was national pride.
