Well take it …. Jam First wins every time 😂
🚨 BREAKING: England Fans Face FIFA Investigation Over Controversial Flag
A group of Cornish England fans are reportedly being investigated after holding up a “JAM FIRST” flag during the closing stages of England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina.
The flag was spotted in the crowd shortly before the final whistle and is understood to have caught the attention of FIFA officials, who are now trying to establish whether “Jam First” constitutes a political statement.
Under tournament rules, supporters are prohibited from displaying political messages inside stadiums.
One of the men involved, Griff Tonkin from Redruth, defended the group, saying, “It’s not political. It’s just the correct way to make a scone.”
However, a Devon man seated nearby strongly disagreed.
“It’s supposed to be about football,” he said. “Typical Cornish carrot crunchers, trying to make it all about themselves. Plus, it’s cream first, everyone knows that.”
The Cornish fans could now be banned from attending England’s third-place play-off against France on Saturday while FIFA investigates the incident.
Griff added, “Ban us all they want, we ain't watching no third place. We'll be back home by then, getting drunk in Club-i, Falmouth!”
