If you haven't yet landed on who to root for during the World Cup, you should seriously consider getting behind Senegal.

Sure, the men of the Senegalese team have made headlines for their incredible performances during round one of the tournament. But more importantly, if their pre-game warmup dances tell us anything, they seem to be having the most fun.

A video of the team singing and dancing in unison on the soccer pitch before Sunday's game against Japan went viral. It's a short clip but it has already racked up over 2 million views — and it is easy to see why.

The whole team, donned in their bright red warmup uniforms, bounces left and right while chanting. Smiles were plastered on their faces, and on the faces of the many soccer fans who caught the video on Twitter and relished in their joy.

The team also broke out multiple dances after defeating Poland in their first game of the tournament, and it is also nearly impossible to watch without cracking a smile.

Senegal's next match will be against Colombia on June 28th, so you've got plenty of time to practice your dance moves until then.
