The Norwegian professional footballer Erling Haaland is becoming one of the most popular footballers of the 2026 World Cup. This is also evident in his humor for his own memes from Dragon Ball.
What meme is circulating right now? Erling Haaland has a distinctive look due to his prominently defined eyebrows, muscular neck, and a striking, destructive playing style. On social media, many fans have compared him to a villain from Dragon Ball Z, Kid Boo.
Therefore, there are currently many images comparing the footballer and the pink warrior. In one comparison image, Haaland even strikes the same pose as Boo, forming a circle with his thumb and index finger to give an okay sign.
The image can be seen on the Instagram account of hidden.ny and has garnered over 350,000 likes. Among the more than 1,600 comments is even Haaland himself, who addresses the many comparisons with Majin Boo.

What does Haaland himself say about it? Haaland himself seems to appreciate the comparisons to the villain from Dragon Ball Z. He comments as follows:
I mean, I don’t disagree.
He agrees with the comparisons between him and Boo. This pleases many anime fans in the comments, who greatly appreciate his humor off the field. Some even try to encourage him to adopt more poses of the villain in the future.
Whether he is as destructive as Majin Boo will reveal itself during the World Cup. Norway has a chance to win the World Championship.
If the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, had originally decided differently, the comparisons might never have occurred. Because actually, Boo was supposed to look a little different.
