SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — The FIFA World Cup is underway, and the first match day concluded on Wednesday with more thrilling games having followed.
Apparently, that also got Mother Nature in the mood to play the world's game, as evidenced by this inflatable soccer ball breaking free and rolling through San Salvador, El Salvador, on Monday.

Thankfully, it doesn't appear anyone was hurt or that any traffic was affected by the ball, though some people may have been caught off guard.
Although someone might need to give Mother Nature a yellow card for the disruption.
