A selection of the most outrageous football-related thumbnails from YouTube.

A THREAD:
Remember when Mario Balotelli decided to celebrate with a kid chilling in a pram after scoring against Germany at the 2012 World Cup? Iconic.
The time Italy experienced biblical levels of rainfall as a bemused Cristiano Ronaldo looked up to the sky in a flooded Allianz. Might be my favourite, this.
Another Ronaldo-themed thumbnail here. Lionel Messi channeling his inner Kane by choke-slamming his great rival to the canvas. BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY.
Never forget when Jasper Cillessen brought a wooden stool to the 2014 World Cup so he could sit and have a cig during the game. Talk about relaxed...
Tim Howard here, wearing a pair of giant Mickey Mouse gloves as he prepares to save a Paul Pogba penalty. Very unusual but a great moment nonetheless.
Looks like something Mike Dean would do tbf.
You’ve got to admire former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois here, carrying on as normal after a powerful effort broke the net. Respect.
Despite never making a single appearance for Valencia, Igor Akinfeev lets Ronaldo score from the spot at 2-0 up. 74 million views by the way...
The Ronaldo-theme continues. You’ve got to applaud the sheer audacity of rotating a png of him celebrating a goal. Red circle helps too.
Completely fooled the goalkeeper by using 18 balls. Fake. How was this not retaken?
