WENY of Elmira, New York decided the safety risk of an impending tornado was worth cutting off the end of the game as Argentina tried to come back from Mario Göetze's goal in the final minutes, but several of their viewers disagreed.

Thanks @WENYTV for ruining the #WorldCupFinal. Couldn't wait 5 mins? Pretty sure most of us can read & perceive a giant storm warning scroll

Others defended the move and lauded the station for recognizing lives might be at risk.
