Watch these Argentines stuck on an airplane react when they find out their team beat the Netherlands
> on July 9, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
If you're a sports fan, you'll have no trouble imagining this nightmare scenario.
Your team is playing a decisive win-or-lose game. You need to catch an airplane. The game goes to extra time. You're in your seat and following along on your phone. Not ideal. Not even close. Then, just as the game enters its final, insanely tense minutes, the cabin crew announces that it's time to turn off electronic devices.
Now imagine you're from Argentina, you're on a plane filled with Argentines, and the men's national soccer team is going to a penalty shoot-out in a World Cup semi-final against the Netherlands.
Actually, you don't need to imagine. That's exactly what happens in this video, so just watch it.
