Anyone else read this is as "... Cristo Redditor"?

I figured OP was hanging out with a famous South American soccer player, named Cristo Redentor, and snapped a pic. (I see who it is, now)

They've known they were hosting the Cup for ten years, you think they could've taken the time to rotate Jesus a bit and let him watch the game?

oh god a giant rotating statue of Christ would be hilarious but that isn't quite true we won our bid in 2007

That wasn't a typo: I always knew it was Christ but my brain always thought the statue was of a woman. It's not even a TIL... I don't even know what to call this one.

They pretty much had to plan out how far the camera would be from the statue to make his arms fit around it. Using math and what not, weird when you think how much planing went into this shot.

Well, they did have weeks and weeks of time to prepare for it.
