Wild Footage Shows How Loud Argentina Fans Were In Buenos Aires Celebrating Copa América Goal At 1 a.m.

What were you doing at 1 a.m. this morning?

Personally, I was sound asleep. Did I want to stay up late and unwind? Yes. But as Jack Black would say in "School of Rock," I’ve got a case of "Stick-it-to-the-man-eosis," which means I needed to be ready to attack my work and all the responsibilities of this manic Monday with a vengeance.

However, that’s not what fans in Buenos Aires were doing at that late hour. You see, the Copa América final was last night, and Argentina squared off against Colombia for soccer (excuse me, football) supremacy in the Western Hemisphere. 

The game was supposed to start at 8 p.m. EST at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, but thanks to an uncanny invasion of fans without tickets, the start had to be pushed back to 9:15.

I don’t know about you, but when I saw that, I immediately thought of when the zombies in World War Z scaled the walls of Jerusalem. Is that just me? I promise I’ll stop with the movie references…maybe.

Anyway, the match got underway, and it needed extra time after regulation ended at a 0-0 deadlock. In the 112th minute, Lautaro Martinez finally broke the tie and scored the eventual game-winner for Argentina.

Unsurprisingly, Bedlam ensued in the stadium. But what about in Argentina’s capital?

You can bet your bottom dollar that these fans weren’t asleep, no way. Even a 75-minute delay and 30 extra minutes of soccer couldn't shake the devotion of these fans. There were a ton of fans still wide awake in the streets of Buenos Aires, even at 1 a.m. local time, which is roughly when Martinez scored his title-clinching goal.

Someone had the excellent idea of capturing what all those cheering fans sounded once Argentina was on the board. Let’s just say its one of the coolest videos you’ll see today.

Again, this is not the noise being generated from rush hour traffic. It is at 1 a.m. local time, and you're hearing cheers echo from all corners of the city at a shockingly clear volume.

They say Argentinians have a borderline religious fervor for football and their national team. After seeing that, it's hard to say anything different!

All that reminds me of that scene in…just kidding, I said I’d stop with the movie references. But seriously, isn’t that clip from Buenos Aires amazing?
