When Argentina beat France in the World Cup final on Sunday it is almost certain one very famous Argentinian was not watching.
Pope Francis has not watched television since July 15, 1990, he said in an interview published in Argentinian newspaper La Voz del Pueblo.
He has said it is because of a personal promise he made to God but has not revealed the last programme he watched or why he chooses not to.
It is unlikely that the Pope broke his 32 year promise for Sunday's match, despite his Argentinian heritage.
Pope Francis has not watched television for more than 30 years. He stopped watching on July 15, 1990,
