00:30Go on a racist run after Morocco knocked his team out on penalties on the 30th of June
00:35It amassed more than 3 million views and tens of thousands of shares and likes
00:40But it was posted by an account that clearly labels itself as an AI football account
00:44The video itself also contains a tag saying that it was artificially generated
00:49Elsewhere, posts emerged online claiming that German fans have started a petition
00:54to ban African and Muslim players from their national team
00:57after Germany was knocked out by Paraguay on the 29th of June
01:01Also in a penalty shootout
01:02The Post cite German news outlet Deutsche Welle as the source of the story
01:06and take particular aim at Jonathan Tarr
01:09the centre-back who missed his penalty to send Germany out of the Cup
01:12But there's no evidence of this petition anywhere by any reputable news outlets
01:17and there is no mention of it anywhere on Deutsche Welle's platforms
01:20That being said, stories of racism at the World Cup are a very real phenomenon
01:26Perhaps one of the most talked about incidents emerging on social media
01:30is the spat between French football star Kylian Mbappé
01:33and Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla
01:35She falsely claimed that he was a colonised Cameroonian
01:39trying to pass himself off as French
01:41Mbappé hit back that Amarilla was a despicable woman who did not represent Paraguay
01:46Indeed, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself posted on X
01:50that it rejected Amarilla's statements
01:52French prosecutors are now investigating the matter
