A couple of English influencers tried to own the French by snapping baguettes but, it was just painful
A video of Albanian fans snapping spaghetti in a good-natured taunt at their Italian counterparts went viral when the teams faced each other in last week’s Euros fixtures.

Because the French are so opposed to breaking bread, or …?
It wasn’t quite clear what reaction they thought they were getting from the French supporters.
I love the “Run! Run!” at the end. It creates a sense of peril. As if anything is happening other than people looking with a mixture of bemusement and pity.pic.twitter.com/DNQI3zKTf0

The facepalm was visible from space – or at least from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

These young ladies seem totally ignorant of EU legislation, which forbids the breaking of baguettes on the continent unless there is both cheese and red wine on the table! #BrexitChaos https://t.co/yCYJbzVfYj
