Fans of Premier League soccer club Chelsea are excited about their favorite team potentially signing a player named Liam Ying, lauding his skill and the on-field attributes he'd bring to the squad in the above video. Same goes for Lugi Bell and a young Brazilian prospect called Deanio.

The only problem? None of these players exist. They're actually part of an excellent prank pulled on Chelsea supporters -- by fans of arch-rival club Manchester United.

The video has understandably become a hit on YouTube, attracting more than 870,000 views since going online Friday.

We've seen this before with Coachella hipsters, bandwagon Lakers fans and Obamacare opiners. But lesson hasn't changed: Put a camera in someone's face, and they'll immediately feign expertise in fields they know absolutely nothing about.

Like many of humanity's more harmless shortcomings, however, this one never gets old.
