Watch: England fans wound up by hilarious Liverpool turns Spanish video
Liverpool fans have long set themselves apart from other football supporters.
There is their huge dislike of the Royal Family and the English national anthem – regularly to be heard at cup finals at Wembley booing God Save The King.
Just as many are equally apathetic towards the English national side – and it appears there are plenty who aren’t particularly bothered with who wins the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain on Sunday.
In fact, many Scousers like many Welsh people, would love to be independent from England.
One section of the Scouse world which is very much of this opinion is the People’s Republic of Liverpool social media account.
Ahead of the big game this weekend the humorous account has been doing a fantastic job of winding up England fans.
One particular video they’ve shared which shows Liverpool being repainted in the colours of Spain, Spanish flags flying from buildings and Scousers learning Spanish has attracted hundreds of comments from irate England supporters.

Those fans of Gareth Southgate’s side have bitten so hard they’ve evidently had a humour bypass, seemingly failing to recognise that what they are watching is actually a brilliant Nike ad from the noughties celebrating Liverpool and Spain legend Fernando Torres’ arrival on Merseyside in 2007 when Spanish fever swept the city.
In a post on X the wind up merchants from the People’s Republic of Liverpool posted the video with the line: ‘Liverpool this weekend #ScousenotEnglish’

I’ve nothing against the England team but the hype! It’s never ending – did we see this much hype when Wales got to the semis in 2016 ? Nope, even Downing street, currently ablaze with red crosses, had to be forced to fly one solitary Welsh flag. It’s time the hype ended – good luck Spain !
Let’s be honest. England throughout the tournament were mediocre at best. They were extremely lucky to be where they now as if it were not for a Slovakian lapse in concentration would be back home with their tails between their legs and Gareth Southgate picking up his P45. The hype with the English press is ridiculous borderline nauseous and why we need the devolution of broadcasting. As mentioned by our first poster S Duggan , Wales reached the 2016 Euro semi-final after beating the favourites Belgium 3-1 and nothing. Nothing on the BBC, ITV, Ch4 or Sky supporting Wales. No… Read more »
Robert Page wasn’t the manager during 2016.
Channel 4 wouldn’t have anything about Wales as technically it doesn’t cover Wales, that’s S4C’s job. There’d be uproar if S4C started covering England football, and quite rightly so, but it does have to cut both ways. As for the others, it’s money that talks sadly, made worse by the fact that the broadcasters know that they can’t really lose by screening England across the UK, people are polarised into wanting them to win or lose so they tune in. The BBC even took the mickey out of this with their Anyone But England type Six Nations promotions. Indeed the… Read more »
Cause they are Irish, Welsh and Scandinavians. Very few are English!
Freedom of choice allows anyone to support whoever. Now I hope Spain win because of the quality they have shown, been great to watch a new young talent breakout in a team that is great to watch play. Sadly I might need to watch it on silent or get alternate feed due to the hate turned into hype of the arrogant English media. England have had luck, sometimes needed, but not that good a team to deserve a win
When Wales knocked out Belgium in 2016 the ITV pundits described us as “the best of British v the best of Europe” as though as if we should be sharing our glory with the English and Scots.
The real anti-English bigots are the politicians, both on the left and the right. Those who deny England the right to a have a national anthem. Jacob Rees-Mogg criticised England fans for abandoning the Union flag in favour of the St Georges Cross. Emily Thornberry also once attacked her constituents for flying the England flag. Yet the accusations of anti-Englishness are always directed at the Welsh or the Scots because some of us want independence or that we won’t support their football team.
I agree, England (ans Northern Ireland for as long as it still participates) should have their own anthems and not use the UK.
GSTK should only be used in respect of the UK, not any individual nation on these isles.
This comment was meant for ROB – that’s because they aim to turn us all into one people with our origins being that of The Anglo Saxons. Having us abandon our British (Brythonic) origins. They are already half way there with our acceptance of the term Welsh.
I’ve been busy today so I’ll enjoy a read through tomorrow and hope that by 10pm, all is quiet and well.
Liverpool? The irony isn’t lost on me here. Looks like a lot of people forgetting to Cofiwch Dryweryn.
