Fake Wheelers Try to Con Their Way into World Cup Match

Three soccer fans from Argentina were determined to see their team play Holland during the first round in Germany. So they pretended to be wheelchair users in order to purchase discounted World Cup tickets.

Their plan worked perfectly until the game became exciting. At that point, one of the men started jumping up and down. “Our friend couldn’t stop jumping and a person near us thought there was a miracle happening,” one of the trio told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de San Paulo.

The men were promptly ejected from the match. However, the team from Argentina fared better and proceeded to the second round.
