"Bro got caught lacking on live TV" - Fans react to Sneako's surprising appearance in crowd during Argentina vs Colombia Copa América final

Rumble streamer Nico "Sneako" has been trending about yesterday's (July 14) Copa América 2024 final. While the headlines will unmistakably surround the Lionel Messi-led Argentine triumph, the streaming community was left surprised after the camera captured Sneako in the crowd. This was certainly an unexpected coincidence, considering he isn't the biggest 'soccer' fan out there.

For those who missed it, at around the 66th-minute mark, the camera captured Messi's emotional reaction (after he was subbed off after sustaining an ankle injury) and a couple of seconds later, panned to the crowd where Sneako was seen.

This was certainly a strange moment as seeing Sneako in a soccer game was probably not on everyone's bucket list yesterday. One fan comically reacted by stating:

"Sneako told his fans he doesn’t care bout no soccer, that there are bigger problems in the world...Bro got caught lacking on Live TV. I'm dead."

Fans did not leave it there as they made sure to make the clip as meme-worthy as possible. Here are some additional reactions from the community:

User @scubaryan_ sarcastically took a dig at Sneako, saying that he was the reason why Messi got injured in the first place.

Sneako wasn't the only streamer watching a final yesterday

Sneako wasn't the only familiar face that attended yesterday's Copa América final. Another big-name streamer present in the stadium was Kick streamer Adin Ross. He was pictured with Jordan Belfort in the stadium:

It's worth noting that the Copa América final wasn't the only major final happening yesterday. The UEFA Euros 2024 also took place, with Spain beating England 2-1. In attendance were notable figures such as JJ "KSI," who was later trolled by IShowSpeed, Josh "Zerkaa," and Simon "Miniminter."

One streamer who was supposed to visit the final match was Darren "IShowSpeed." However, his cameraman confirmed that they were asked not to stream by UEFA, which meant they couldn't go ahead with their plans.

Soccer (aka football) has increasingly become a popular topic for streamers, especially in the American scene. Many streamers have engaged in soccer-related content from time to time. Rumble streamer Sneako appeared to be the latest to enjoy the game as well.
