Forward Alexandra Popp made a curious celebration after scoring two goals in Germany’s win over Morocco in the first round of the Women’s World Cup.

In the iconic film, the alien character raises his finger to the sky to communicate with his home.

The attacker revealed that the inspiration also has to do with her “calling home” in honor of notable people in her life who have passed away, most notably her late father.

The German team beat Morocco 6-0 in the opening of Group H of the Cup. Now, one of the title favorites will take on Colombia and close out the group stage against South Korea.

“The gesture I used to celebrate my goal comes from ET when he wants to call home. I call home because we’re so far away. It’s not just for those who are watching TV, but also for people who can no longer be with us and are very important to me. It shows that I am thinking of them,” explained Popp.
