Farage’s Response To England’s Win Against Croatia Slammed

Nigel Farage has been roasted over a photo of himself he posted online to celebrate England’s victory on Wednesday night.

The Reform UK leader shared an image of himself wearing a three lions football shirt and drinking a pint in a pub to mark England’s 4-2 win over Croatia in their first game of the 2026 World Cup.

He added in the caption on X: “Proper job. @England”

But, as first spotted by the Mirror’s deputy political editor Mikey Smith, it seemed to be an almost identical photo to one Farage posted from 2024 to celebrate an England win at the Euros in 2024.

Smith wrote on X: “Incredible coincidence that Nigel Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.”

A Reform source dismissed the criticism, claiming the Mirror journalist should get a reality check and “touch some grass”.

But a Labour source told HuffPost UK: “From the questions over his secret £5 million ‘gift’, who paid for his Clacton house, and swathes of potentially undeclared private jet and chopper trips with his donor – it’s clear you can’t trust a word Nigel Farage says.

“If Farage can’t even be straight with the public on where he watched the football, you’re left to wonder – what else is he hiding?”

A similar reaction unfolded across social media as critics leapt to call out the Clacton MP.
