Soccer fever has taken control out of everyone with the FIFA World Cup 2014 officially starting yesterday.

In a new short titled "O Futebol Classico" ("The Soccer Classic") Mickey has traveled to Brazil to presence a match. All is well at the stadium, Mickey has all his gear to cheer on his team and finds a great spot to view the game.

He tries to tell her that her hat is obstructing his view, but when she takes the hat off a massive ball of hair pops open making it worse. The following moments has Mickey trying to score better seats, flying balloons over the arena and even sitting right on the field. Watch the hilarious short down below!

The ESPN México team has traveled to the South American country to provide inside details of the tournament. The only caveat with is that the network doesn't have the rights to air any of the matches and has to think of creative ways to promote their coverage. "Futbol Picante" show host José Ramón Fernández and his team created a music video to the tune of Pharrell Williams' "Happy." In the clip shot around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil we can see the veteran sports commentator dancing strangely. We can tell this was not his idea, but extra points for putting in the effort and playing along. Fernández used to be the main sports guy at TV Azteca and covered many World Cup's for the network, but left when management was changing. He has turned ESPN México into a referential network, bringing in his expertise and uncanny personality to sports lovers. Watch the "Happy" clip down below and tell us what you think!
