The illustration -- which got lots of laughs on Twitter -- was posted with the message, "Argentina vs Switzerland :)"
Francis is wearing a white and blue scarf -- Argentina's national colors -- in the cartoon. He is a known soccer fan (roots for his hometown team of San Lorenzo), but has claimed he's a neutral spectator during the World Cup.
The winner of today's match will advance to the tournament's quarterfinals.
