In England, people are tweeting their hatred for football on Super Bowl Sunday
Maybe it’s because the United States has never lost to England in the World Cup, but for some reason the Brits have decided to talk smack over our favorite pastime.
Soccer in England goes by the name “football.” Here in the United States, which won the Revolutionary War, football is the sport that we will watch today in the Super Bowl.
On Twitter, the hashtag #handegg was popular.
Here are some of the tweets from across the pond by those clever British folks (and others from across the pond):
