Fox News’ USA World Cup reaction clip was made even better by impromptu NSFW chanting
When the US Women’s soccer team won the World Cup, naturally, American broadcasters went out and about in France to record reactions, including in a sports bar in Lyon. What they weren’t prepared for was the impromptu chant that soon swamped the reporter’s piece to camera.

Although Donald Trump – eventually – congratulated the team on their success, it must have stuck in his throat after a public disagreement with midfielder and goal-scorer, Megan Rapinoe, who had said she wouldn’t accept any invitation to visit the White House.
Congratulations to the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team on winning the World Cup! Great and exciting play. America is proud of you all!

This little bit of editing magic shared by Ryan Hill speaks volumes.

These are just a few of the hundreds of reactions to the US fans’ NSFW chant.
I feel like this is actually a big fuck you to Trump’s military tank parade hijacking our Fourth of July. I’m calling today the true Independence Day 😂🇺🇸

Are we not all, in a way, US fans in a French sports bar chanting “Fuck Trump”?

@FootballJOE found the man who started the chant, who shared his feelings about the US under Trump.
"Right now I'm very embarrassed to be an American."
