{"id":"mohamed-salah-statue","name":"Mohamed Salah Statue","summary":"The Mohamed Salah Statue is a bronze sculpture of the Liverpool and Egypt footballer unveiled at Egypt's World Youth Forum in November 2018. Its bulging head, thin legs, and unrecognizable face turned it into an instant Twitter roast, with users comparing it to Marv from Home Alone, Leo Sayer, and Art Garfunkel. The pile-on made it one of the defining bad-athlete-statue jokes of the year, sitting next to the earlier Cristiano Ronaldo bust as a go-to reference for football sculpture disasters.","tags":["mohamed salah statue","mo salah statue","salah statue meme","world youth forum statue","mai abdallah salah","bad football statues","marv home alone salah","leo sayer statue","art garfunkel statue","ronaldo bust comparison"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":9,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-mo-salah-statue-closeup.webp","caption":"The infamous Mohamed Salah statue that sparked widespread ridicule online after its 2018 unveiling.","width":800,"height":450,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-statue-tweet-reaction.webp","caption":"An early viral tweet reacting to the unveiling of the Mo Salah statue, tagging the footballer to intervene.","width":680,"height":760,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-statue-cartoon-comparison.webp","caption":"One of many side-by-side comparison memes mocking the resemblance of the statue to unrelated cartoon characters.","width":680,"height":402,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-statue-home-alone-marv.webp","caption":"A viral tweet comparing the statue to Marv from Home Alone, part of a broader trend mocking bad footballer sculptures.","width":680,"height":823,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-statue-art-garfunkel.webp","caption":"Art Garfunkel was one of the more popular lookalike targets in the wave of Salah statue reaction memes.","width":680,"height":431,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-vs-ronaldo-bust.webp","caption":"The statue was frequently ranked alongside the notorious Cristiano Ronaldo bust as one of football's worst likenesses.","width":680,"height":434,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-salah-statue-lookalike-collage.webp","caption":"A joke tweet suggesting the statue looks more like Leo Sayer or Art Garfunkel than Mohamed Salah himself.","width":680,"height":632,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-social-00.webp","caption":"Mohamed Salah Statue","width":620,"height":826,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/mohamed-salah-statue-social-01.webp","caption":"Mohamed Salah Statue","width":675,"height":1200,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/mohamed-salah-statue/history.md","related":["dele-alli-hand-celebration","quality","jeff-sessions-time-cover","2018-fifa-world-cup-russia","cristiano-ronaldo-bust","aaron-rodgers-drawing","neymars-dives","the-ramsey-effect","2014-fifa-world-cup-brazil","bellingham-celebration-belligol","camavinga-memes","christian-pulisics-its-called-soccer-shirt"],"popularityRank":3322,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
