The Twitter user – who has an EU flag, #FBPE and #Rejoin in their name – made a rallying cry for Denmark to triumph in the match at Wembley tonight. They said: “Now all hopes on Denmark.”
However, the tweet massively backfired after the Remainer shared an emoji of Norway’s flag instead of Denmark’s at the end of the post – prompting hundreds of replies.
One Twitter user said: “FBPE folks support Denmark by showing the Norwegian flag. Hopeless.”
Another asked: “Why? What did the England football team do to you?
“Did you ever consider that some of them might have voted remain?”
A third commented: “It’s so childish wishing defeat on our national football team because a vote or 3 didn’t go your way.”
Another mocked: “Bitter bitter bitter. And the bottom of the class in Geography.”
A fifth said: “Great work from such an avid fan of all things Europe.
Couldn’t have made that one up. Congratulations.”
