One of the funniest moments from Argentina vs Egypt didn’t happen on the field, but after the final whistle.
During the match, popular streamer IShowSpeed caught social media’s attention when Lionel Messi was getting ready to take a penalty. As the Argentine captain began his run-up, Speed started making gestures, faces, and shouting from the stands in an attempt to distract him.
To everyone’s surprise, Messi ended up missing the shot, and the content creator was completely stunned by what had just happened. On social media, many started joking that the streamer had “jinxed” the Argentine captain, although, of course, it’s just a soccer superstition.
However, the story didn’t end there.
After Argentina secured the victory and eliminated Egypt, an Argentina fan went straight up to confront him there. In an obviously joking tone, she reminded him that, despite the missed penalty, La Albiceleste still ended up advancing.
The streamer couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, while the moment was being recorded by other fans and quickly began going viral on social media, where many described the scene as one of the most entertaining snapshots of the World Cup.
