Britney Bakeer picked a World Cup team and immediately found out international soccer loyalty isn't a casual subject.

On June 8, the social media star posted a clip to Facebook with a simple question: "Am I supporting the right team? 👀"

Judging by the black, red, and gold face paint on her cheeks, the Germany jersey knotted above her denim shorts, and the sea of matching flags around her, most fans thought the answer was obvious. The comment section, however, had other ideas.

England supporters lobbied for the Three Lions. A Spain fan made his case for La Roja. One Dutch follower mourned that she had picked the Netherlands' archrival, then promised to support her anyway. Votes poured in for Brazil, Scotland, and France, along with more than one wounded "Why not Argentina?”

The Germans, of course, were delighted. "From a fellow German, the answer is yes," one wrote, while others welcomed her like she had just scored the winning goal.

It isn't exactly clear what ties Bakeer to the four-time World Cup champs, but this isn't her first time turning up to cheer. In the past few weeks, she has appeared in a knotted Nationals top at a Braves game and a yellow Villarreal jersey during a rainy match against Valencia. Whether it's game-day content or just a very committed sports era, the fits keep coming.

The timing doesn't hurt. The World Cup runs through July 19, which means the tournament is barely getting started. Plenty of familiar faces have already caught the fever too, including OnlyFans creator Yanet Garcia, Croatian model Ivana Knoll and Brazilian influencer Carolay Chaves.

Germany, meanwhile, has given Bakeer a pretty good reason to stay loyal. The team opened with a 7-1 win over Curacao, followed it with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast and is set to face Ecuador on June 25.
