Watch: USA's Weston McKennie has creative solution to sweaty hands

Late in the first half of Friday's USA-England World Cup match, American midfielder Weston McKennie had a big throw-in for his side but he had a little bit of a problem that needed to be corrected.

His hands were apparently sweaty. Too sweaty. 

Not wanting to have his throw-in slip or be unable to get a solid grip on the ball, he looked for the closest thing he could find to dry them off.

The bib of a photographer sitting on the sidelines. 

The photographer looked puzzled at first, and then kind of laughed it off while also looking somewhat annoyed.

Could you blame him if he was annoyed? Who wants to be used as a hand towel for somebody else when you are just trying to do your job?
