That’s right, Ron Burgundy himself showed up to inspire the crowd and threaten to bite any and all German players if needed. (A nod, of course, to Uruguayan player Luis Suarez’s recent [biting incident](http://time.com/2918383/soccer-player-luis-suarez-just-bit-someone-again-so-here-come-the-inevitable-memes/).) He was _probably_ joking, but we kind of believe he’ll do it if things get out of hand. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2927188/will-ferrell-crashed-a-world-cup-fan-event-and-everyone-freaked-out/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2927188/will-ferrell-crashed-a-world-cup-fan-event-and-everyone-freaked-out/"},"headline":"Will Ferrell Crashed a World Cup Fan Event and Everyone Freaked Out","datePublished":"2014-06-26T14:02:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:11.126Z","description":"Highlights include an enthusiastic USA chant and a Luis Suarez reference","url":"https://time.com/2927188/will-ferrell-crashed-a-world-cup-fan-event-and-everyone-freaked-out/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","brazil","Soccer","celebrity","World Cup","Will Ferrell","2014 World Cup"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19d098c2c0b9d019/6986995d169ab03b2727a141/453294827.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19d098c2c0b9d019/6986995d169ab03b2727a141/453294827.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Will Ferrell is promoting Anchorman 2","caption":"Will Ferrell is promoting Anchorman 2","creditText":"Randy Risling—Toronto Star / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2927188/will-ferrell-crashed-a-world-cup-fan-event-and-everyone-freaked-out/","name":"Will Ferrell Crashed a World Cup Fan Event and Everyone Freaked Out"}}]}] ```
