Airplane passenger goes viral for streaming Argentina's miraculous World Cup comeback for the entire plane
Viral video shows a passenger holding up his laptop mid-flight so the entire cabin could watch Argentina come back from two goals down to beat Egypt.
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.
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.
As was the Spirit way (RIP).
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.
