During the Argentina-Switzerland quarterfinal in Kansas City, the cameras focused on something that was not a goal.

A ball went into the stands and an Argentine dad, without saying a word, signaled to his son to hide it in his arms. The boy understood immediately: he pressed the ball against his chest as if it were a treasure, while his dad watched with a knowing smile.

That exchanged look between father and son, that silent pact of soccer mischief, was enough for the clip to be shared thousands of times. Argentina ended up winning 3-1 in extra time, but that scene stole everyone’s attention. Some said his bad influence on his son was obvious. What do you think?
