There is a mega showdown in the world of FIFA today as England takes on the US in a thrilling soccer match.
And as one can imagine, there are plenty of taunts taking place left and right. One of the most memorable ones has to be linked to English fans saying that the losing team can keep comedian James Corden.
It appears that the fandom that this comedian may have had once upon a time is no longer present. Nobody wants him in their country after he sparked a mega backlash for rudely treating a staff member.
Hence, Corden is being thrown around like a soccer ball and Twitter is loving the attention that fans from both sides are rounding up and on about.
One person went as far as mentioning how there is plenty at stake as no one wanted the comedian in the first place so the loser takes him all.
Social media users feel this is the perfect chance to solve matters like this. They feel two hot-button issues can really keep James Corden’s controversy at bay while adding a little hype to the excitement generated through soccer matches.
Meanwhile, other American fans claim that if the US wins, it’s high time the sport’s name is changed to soccer instead of football. This has again been the subject of so much debate in the past.
We’ve seen the likes of critics come forward and slam the name ‘football’ as that’s the term reserved for a completely different sport that Americans love and are famous for.
“The whole is now going to call this game soccer after tonight!”- mentioned one eager fan on Twitter but others disagreed as they felt the English team was in a better seat to actually win tonight’s match.
