Will Ferrell and England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale have officially got beef as the pair traded expletive-ridden insults over who would win between England and the USA at the World Cup.
With the football World Cup heating up in Qatar – the location of which has faced controversy of its own due to the country’s human rights issues – all eyes will be on Friday’s match.
Elf actor Will, 55, who is also starring in the Asda Christmas advert, gave his prediction for who would win between England and the USA during Friday’s game and believes it will be a landslide win in favour of his home country.
‘I think it’s going to be a slaughter. USA three, England nil,’ he revealed on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp.
However, he didn’t realise that he would soon be facing a difference of opinions with Aaron, 24, who had some choice words for the actor.
Aaron had recorded a video message which was played to Will, telling him: ‘Hi Will, it’s Aaron Ramsdale.

‘You’re a great actor and a hero of mine, I love watching your films but when we play your nation on Friday you’ll be the worst actor in the world.
‘Elf will be on the shelf and it will be a little less Anchorman and more w****rman. Take care, pal.’
Will gaped open-mouthed as the message was played out, soon hitting back: ‘Mr Aaron Ramsdale… Aaron you didn’t realise I know where you live, and I’m delivering a bag of s**t to your doorstep.
‘I’m going to light it on fire and you’re going to have to stomp it out and you’re going to have s**t all over your little pansy football boots. Alright, Aaron…’
If we were Aaron Ramsdale, we’d be very worried right now… England are set to take on the USA with a 7pm kick-off on Friday, so that’ll be a good time to keep an eye on what Will’s doing depending who wins.
