Presidential decorum be damned when your country's just won the World Cup.

Beating Croatia 4-2, thanks in part to 19-year-old star Kylian Mbappé, France had plenty of reasons to cheer — and that's exactly what Macron did.

Here's the president flailing about in the official leader box at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, sitting alongside his wife Brigitte Macron, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, President of French Football Federation Noel Le Graet, and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

There were so many more moments during the game where Macron could be seen throwing presidential codes of behaviour to the wind and cheering like a banshee. Go team!
