Airplane passenger goes viral for streaming Argentina's miraculous World Cup comeback for the entire plane

Video The USMNT's World Cup Payday Sparks Outrage | Will Cain Country Vince August joins Will Cain to react to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani erasing Italians from the city's ethnic map. Plus, outrage over the new payout structure as USMNT splits World Cup cash with the women, and the fallout of Graham Platner's campaign.

We've seen some stellar fan performances all World Cup long, but I'm not sure we've seen an MVP quite like a fan who has gone viral for starting an impromptu watch party on a flight.

Because is there anything that will make you popular faster than ponying up for airplane Wi-Fi so everyone can watch one of the most shocking comebacks of the tournament?

The video shows a man with a laptop standing toward the front of an airline cabin, holding it up so the rest of the passengers could watch this week's Argentina-Egypt match.

I have no clue what airline this is, but I'm guessing it doesn't throw you a bone with live TV that freezes every couple of minutes.

That drives me nuts, by the way. I can appreciate the wonder of being able to watch an IndyCar race while going hundreds of miles per hour through the sky, but I feel like we should have this figured out to get seamless streaming on planes.

And then, if you want the good internet, that's going to cost you. That's where this dude is a hero. He bit the bullet so everyone else could enjoy a match for the ages that saw Lionel Messi and Argentina come back from two goals down to win 3-2.

The only ones who probably weren't thrilled were the airline, which clearly didn't account for one brave soul with a MacBook discovering the cheat code to free midair internet.

Had this been on Spirit, they would've tackled that dude the second he stepped out of the jetway just to send a message.

It's a great example of how the World Cup brings people together, and that's a very cool thing.

Especially if they can stick it to the airlines that keep nickel-and-diming all of us.
