Over the last week or so, there have been some football related occurrences of an otherworldly nature.
At a number of football stadiums and other locations, hooded men, strange symbols and an unexplained hashtag have been making an appearance.
It all started in the hillsides above Brazil's Copacabana where the hashtag #WinnerTakesEarth was seen along with a football-related symbol...
They were also seen at Times Square New York and Hackney Marshes.
However, hooded figures bearing the symbol and occasionally carrying the hashtag have been seen at games in the Bundesliga, Premier League and Serie A. Those games have invovled Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Juventus - all teams backed by communications giant Samsung.
