'''Lorenzo Farinaldi''' (born March 7, 1960), also known as lorenaldi333, is an [[Aciria|Acirian]] internet personality. He is best known for his over the top reactions to football games played both domestically and internationally by Acirian football teams. He first rose to fame when Acirian internet users discovered his social media account filled with Farinaldi's reactions to the results of football matches, often resulting in over the top reactions. As of 2026, he has over 1 million followers on all platforms he is active on.

==Early life==

Farinaldi claims to have been an avid football player during his childhood. He also found a passion for forklift driving in his teens after he and his friends jumped a warehouse employee for his keys and stole a forklift. He faced no charges due to him being a minor at the time.

==Social media fame==
Farinaldi created his initial social media accounts under the name lorenaldi33 in 2012 and was a relatively active user until 2015, when he apparently "forgot the password" following a "brawl with the lads". He created his second accounts later that year under the name lorenaldi333 where he regularly continued posting his reactions to footy games and to a lesser extent, political commentary. 

In 2020, Acirian internet users stumbled upon him from his reply to the official account of the Acirian Bears where he threatened he'd knock the managers son out cold if he didn't bench the teams midfielder Ervanco Negrino. The over the top reaction quickly spread over the internet, netting him 100 000 followers before the month was over. Farinaldi's signature social media picture became a widespread meme, spawning various edited versions of the image of him holding a pint.

==Controversies==
Farinaldi has been open about child abuse on social media, most recently in 2026 when he posted a picture of his son knocked out due to the lack of football broadcasts of the 2026 WAFF World Cup. It's unknown why Farinaldi is yet to face charges.
