🎥 Cruel joke! Pilot briefly makes Argentina fans world champions | OneFootball

Imagine it's the World Cup final and you're sitting on a plane. Pretty much everyone would probably be happy if the pilot congratulated them on winning the World Cup. The only problem is if your national team didn’t actually win. 

That’s the prank a pilot pulled with Argentine fans on board. The video is currently going viral on Twitter and elsewhere. “We have just been informed that it was a very closely fought match right to the end, including extra time. Both teams gave it everything, but in a World Cup final, unfortunately, there can only be one winner. From here, we wanted to congratulate the Argentinians,” the pilot said in his announcement. 

Of course, that especially sparked cheers among the Argentine fans. Much to the passengers’ annoyance, however, the joy probably didn’t last long.
