SNP MSP Stephen Flynn has given the perfect response to a gloating Piers Morgan after Lionel Messi’s Argentina kicked England out of the World Cup.
England took the lead early in the second half through Anthony Gordon’s strike, and during the game journalist Morgan joked on Twitter/X: “Is Messi playing?”
But unfortunately for Morand, that tweet aged like milk as Argentina scored two late goals to secure their place in the World Cup final, both assisted by the legendary Messi.
Tartan Army fanatic Flynn just couldn’t resist hitting back at Morgan after the match when he shared the news anchor’s tweet and said: “Yes. In the final.”
Yes. In the final.

To continue the theme on his Instagram, Flynn shared the conversation, adding a rendition of the unofficial English anthem “Jerusalem.” Ugh.
Flynn also took the opportunity to share a photo of himself in hysterics after England were knocked out of the tournament, sharing a video of England fans singing about how Scottish fans could “book a ticket home” to the tune of “Yes Sir I Can Boogie”.
Thomas Tuchel’s men will now have to endure a game no one wants to play as they take on France in the third- and fourth-place play-offs on Saturday.
It’s certainly been a fun 24 hours since Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander invited Scottish fans to support England in the House of Commons. It would seem to be a pretty poor choice, given that SNP MP Lara Bird and Labor MP Euan Stainbank were photographed celebrating together in a Westminster bar following Argentina’s dramatic comeback.
