In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, a scene at the nine-minute mark shows a fan watching a Boca Juniors match in the background. This little-noticed detail has been highlighted in a YouTube video. The director made an unusual error in that sequence.
The disaster film The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich and released in 2004, features an Argentine Easter egg that few viewers have spotted. Around the nine-minute mark, in a scene set in New York, a character is seen watching a soccer match on a background television. The game is a Boca Juniors fixture, the popular Argentine football club.
This detail was highlighted by YouTube user Ciriaco López in a recent video, which analyzes the sequence and provides context. According to the description, the director made an unusual error by including this image, possibly due to a production oversight, though no further details are specified in the available sources.
Boca Juniors, renowned for its passionate fanbase, appears fleetingly in the film, which focuses on a global climate catastrophe. This cameo links Argentine soccer with a Hollywood production, surprising fans of both sports and cinema. There are no contradictions between the sources, which agree on the presence of the xeneize team in that early part of the movie.
