Photo of 83-year-old Argentina fan watching World Cup on chair outside shop goes viral and sparks amazing gift
A PHOTO of an 83-year-old Argentina fan watching the World Cup through the window of an electronic store has gone viral, and earned him an amazing gift..
Carlos Bejar watched the semi-final victory over Croatia in the spot due to not having cable TV.
He told local media he lives close to the store and travelled there because he has no connection in his local area.
Carlos admitted: "It's a very big screen, it's like being in the stadium."
A tweet of him sitting in the street went viral in Argentina, and was retweeted more than 5,000 times, and he became a national star.
As a result, company Fravega gifted Carlos a 55-inch TV so he could watch the final against France from the comfort of his own home.

Regardless, he's still planning on returning to the store.
He said: "As long as they don't throw me out there, I'll be there."
The shop is located close to Argentina's capital Buenos Aires.
Carlos takes an interest in football because most of his friends have passed away.
And the beach chair he sat on during the game brings him luck as it previously belonged to his mother.
