Social media can significantly enhance an athlete's fan engagement and cultural impact, even when their actual playing time is limited, as demonstrated by Lukas Podolski's memorable presence during Germany's 2014 World Cup victory despite minimal on-field participation.

🤔 Why Everyone Remembers Lukas Podolski in the 2014 World CupAdded:
Lukas Podolski is [music] one of the best examples of how powerful social media is. When Germany won the World Cup, I think he didn't play a single minute, but if you ask today people, tell me five players of that national team, Podolski is going to be for sure there. And it was just before he posted the selfie with the World Cup with people to the selfie with Angela Merkel in the locker room. He was posting and sharing everything. So, I think he was a number one fan of the national team because he was not playing.
>> Briana supported the German team through that tournament because of Podolski. For a nation-born American artist to care about the German national team in soccer is crazy.
