We all know how excited football fans can get once the World Cup matches are on. But to get injured 'cos you're too engrossed in the match? 

Well, that's what happened to 45-year-old Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming.

Anyone knows the cure for this? Other than asking him to not tilt his head?

According to Xiaoming, when he's rooting for a team, his head will involuntarily tilt towards their goal side.

And he kept doing that until he actually "twisted" his neck after one match. 

 "What weird habit is this? Remedies please~" he asked the internet. 

Despite his injured neck, the actor didn't forget to congratulate his idol Lionel Messi and the Argentinian team for beating Croatia in the semis on Wednesday (Dec 14).

"Congratulations to Argentina for making it into the finals! All the best Messi!," he cheered.

Um, please don't hurt your neck again when watching the finals okay, Xiaoming?
