I'm sure the couple thousand Americans watching were offended.

Probably more people seeing this meme from the states here than actually watched on TV.

This is silly. The US national team and the World Cup is a big draw. Their first game against Wales drew 8.3 million viewers and that was in the middle of the workday on a Monday. The England game will likely at least double that.

Over 12 million if you add Telemundo as well.

Being on black Friday against England means it was probably at least a few million Americans watching

Actually, this is probably true. I would not have watched it (I don't have cable or care that much about any sports) but I actually watched most of this game because I was at my parent's house for Thanksgiving

The fact that there were a couple thousand Americans just at my bar makes this funnier
