Airplane passenger goes viral for streaming Argentina's miraculous World Cup comeback for the entire plane
Lionel Messi and Argentina came back from two goals down to beat Egypt 3-2 as one fan held up his MacBook
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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?
No. No, there is not.

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.
Not all heroes wear capes.

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.

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.
