That wasn't a football game. It was The Clash in 1977!" Courtney Love has discovered England's "beautiful" football team, and is very, very excited about their progress in the FIFA World Cup

That wasn’t a football game. It was The Clash in 1977! Courtney Love has backed England’s men’s national team as the squad continues at the FIFA World Cup, framing the team’s momentum as both sporting and cultural. The former Hole frontwoman, who has lived in England since 2019 and has applied for British citizenship, compared England’s 3-2 win over Mexico to seeing The Clash and the Rolling Stones at their peak. Love posted on Instagram ahead of the July 6 Mexico vs England match, listening to “Three Lions,” and later called the Azteca Stadium performance the “greatest.” She also pointed to England’s next quarter-final on July 11 against Norway, warning about potential suspensions tied to further bookings for Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi and Nico O’Reilly.
