Lamine Yamal Shops Unnoticed in Georgia Ahead of Spain's World Cup Opener
Spain star Lamine Yamal posted video of himself shopping at a Walmart in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, shortly before his national team's World Cup opener against Cape Verde. The footage, shared on Instagram, showed him loading items into a cart and moving through the store with little attention from other shoppers.
The article notes that the store is about 30 kilometers from Spain's training camp in Chattanooga. Yamal, who turns 19 next month, is described as one of the tournament's biggest stars, yet he appeared to walk around the large shopping complex almost unnoticed. The piece says such a scene seems possible only in the United States, where the World Cup is taking place and has begun generating global buzz.
Yamal is hoping to be fit for Spain's first match against Cape Verde in Atlanta on June 15. After that, the European champions are scheduled to face Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
