The match between Argentina and Austria left one of the most talked-about moments of the day, not only because of what happened on the field, but also because of what happened in the stands.
During the match, Lionel Messi missed a penalty, generating an immediate reaction on social media… but also beyond it.
One of the most viral was American streamer IShowSpeed, who reacted in a completely over-the-top way to the Argentine’s miss, even doing a backflip live on stream, unleashing laughter and chaos among his followers.
The clip went viral on platforms like X and TikTok, where users highlighted the intensity with which Speed experiences matches.
Many took it humorously, pointing out that his reaction was “more spectacular than the penalty itself”, while others joked that the streamer turns every match into a show of its own.
The truth is that, once again, the World Cup is not only delivering goals and results, but also viral moments that happen off the field.
