The players of the Swiss women’s soccer team have recently become the center of attention, and not for their incredible skills on the field. A viral video featuring the team grooving to the hit song “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” by Colombian superstar Karol G sparked an avalanche of reactions from fans and critics alike, revealing just how tough it can be to keep the rhythm when you’re more accustomed to scoring goals than stepping in sync.
A Dance Off That’s More Off-Key Than On
The Swiss women’s squad brought their best energy to the dance floor, but it’s clear their expertise lies more in powerful kicks and strategic plays than in mastering a Latin beat. Despite their infectious enthusiasm, followers on social media quickly seized the moment, pouncing on their awkward moves and leaving no stone unturned in their mockery.
When Soccer Stars Try to Follow the Beat
In the now-famous clip, defender Marion Rey took the lead, inviting her teammates to add a little flair to their routine. Forward Alisha Lehmann, midfielder Geraldine Reuteler, and defender Eseosa Aigbogun all joined in, but rather than showcasing a smooth salsa, their efforts turned into what resembled a lackluster line dance.
With movements stiffer than a goalpost, critics from all corners unleashed a torrent of jibes. Comments ranged from calling them “logs” due to their rigidness to humorous quips like, “I don’t dance stiffly; I dance reggaeton like a Swiss!”
Let The Ladies Enjoy Their Moment
Despite the harsh reactions, it’s essential to remember that none of these athletes claimed to be professional dancers. They’re just a bunch of spirited young women, embracing a moment of relaxation before they gear up for a rigorous training session or a crucial match. As another favorite saying goes, “Everyone’s a critic.”
