A pair of young Muslim men are going viral after a video of them praying for England players during the World Cup made the rounds online.

Author Tariq Panya shared the video with the caption:

This made me smile: Two young British Muslims praying for each member of the #ENG team during the national anthem before the game v #COL – nice reminder how diverse the support for this team is.

Other England supporters chimed in about the boys.

And it wasn't just Muslims praying...

The pair might have been inspired by this praying Mexican grandma.

It's coming home.
