A passenger on an airplane gained viral attention after streaming Argentina's remarkable World Cup comeback against Egypt for the entire cabin to watch. The video shows the man holding up his laptop mid-flight so other passengers could follow the match, which saw Lionel Messi and Argentina rally from two goals down to win 3-2.
This impromptu watch party highlighted the lengths fans will go to enjoy major sporting events, especially given the challenges of live streaming on flights. The airline involved was not identified.
Separately, a fitness influencer claimed that Lufthansa staff told her she looked "naked" and forced her to zip up before boarding a flight.
Sources noted a comparison by Tom Brady between Argentina's World Cup rally and the New England Patriots' Super Bowl comeback.
