Most soccer players swap shirts, these two swapped shorts

New traditions!

This is what the World Cup is all about. 32 nations, together on the world’s biggest stage. Passion! Community! Soccer! A million adjectives! Taking one’s shorts off and handing it to one’s fellow man.

OK, context.

(1) The jersey exchange at the end of a soccer match is a longtime ritual. Usually it’s shirts.
(2) Ivan Rakitic and Stéphane Mbia are club teammates at Sevilla in Spain.
(3) The pair met at the World Cup on Wednesday, with Croatia demolishing Cameroon, 4-0.
(4) As you can see, they divvied their skivvies.

Yup, this is what the World Cup is all about. This right here.
