GIF of French goalie spitting a bug out of his mouth at World Cup is my top nightmare

Ewwwww.

Welcome to my nightmare: This GIF of a bug being expectorated out of a human mouth.

During the World Cup match between Uruguay and France on Friday, French goalie Hugo Lloris nearly swallowed a gigantic bug. Fortunately, he managed to quickly expel the insect invader from his body.

The moment was captured during coverage of the game on multiple sports networks as the entire world watched. So, naturally, this brief bug encounter has been preserved as a GIF to haunt us forevermore.

Gaze upon it at your own risk.

Hopefully Lloris' quick reflexes help him win big in the match, or not — I truthfully don't know who I'm supposed to be rooting for here. But yay soccer! Boo insects!
