Football fans believe the USMNT deserve to lose their World Cup game against England after a recent viral tweet.

The two rivals go at it in a competitive game for the first time since 2010 at the Al Bayt Stadium on Friday evening.

England are top of Group B following a 6-2 victory over Iran on Monday, while the USMNT drew 1-1 with Wales later that day.

In the build-up to the game, the USMNT's official Twitter account sent a message to their fans which hasn't gone down well.

In reference to popular singer Taylor Swift, they tweeted a USMNT shirt with 'Swift 13' on the back along with a caption.

It read: "@taylorswift we know you love your London Boy… but we’re gonna do our best to make Miss Americana proud today."

Swift released 'London Boy' in 2019, while Miss Americana is a 2020 documentary about her life.

Fans online have reacted to the tweet and they're hoping the USMNT are demolished by Gareth Southgate's side.

One person said: "There is still time to delete this before the game starts."

Another put: "We're gonna get cooked for this and we deserve it."

Someone tweeted: "Stuff like this are why you'll never get taken seriously as a football nation."

While a fourth added: "Please stop doing this."

England have never beaten the USMNT in a competitive game, something Southgate is keen to change.

The Three Lions came into the tournament on the back of a six-match winless run, the fifth time that's happened in their history.

Putting six past Iran has alleviated any fears regarding their style of play in Qatar.

"I guess people wouldn’t expect us to be like that having watched us for a couple of years and the style of football we play! Maybe we regress to the norm," Southgate joked in his pre-match press conference.

"We came into this tournament with intent, we played well. We exploited the opponent on the day. The next two games are going to be completely different."

Earlier on Friday, Iran defeated Wales 2-0 to move up to second in the group.

Extra-time goals from Rouzbeh Cheshmi and Ramin Rezaeian mean Wales have to beat England on Tuesday to have any chance of qualifying for the round of 16.
