An official \u201cis no longer employed at the U.S. Embassy in London,\u201d after he declared his support for England ahead of Friday\u2019s World Cup clash with America<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ahead of the goal-less draw in Qatar<\/a>, the embassy posted a video on its official Twitter account, joking that their spokesperson Aaron Snipe had been fired before the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n Above the tweet the Embassy said it was \u201csad\u201d to announce his departure, \u201cbut some things are more important than diplomacy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n In the video, Snipe can be seen walking into the office wearing an England scarf, where he receives disgusted looks from a couple of colleagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n As he reaches his office which has England flags hanging up, someone has printed out letters spelling \u201ctraitor,\u201d and stuck them up on the glass pane, alongside the Stars and Stripes.\u00a0<\/p>\n A colleague then comes in and tells him that \u201cHR called,\u201d and they want to see him \u201cnow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The video then cuts to Snipe being told off.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cLook man, I don\u2019t know why I need to be the one reminding you, but, you\u2019re an American. You work for the U.S. Embassy. You cannot be rooting for England,\u201d an unnamed man tells him. \u201cI\u2019m gonna need you to take those decorations down. Take that shirt off. And I don\u2019t want to have to call you up here again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Standing up, Snipe replies: \u201cOK. Good chat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Walking out, he takes off his England home jersey, only to reveal that he has an away jersey underneath.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n A line then appears saying, \u201cAaron Snipe is no longer employed by the U.S. Embassy in London.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Among those to respond was Dame Karen Pierce<\/a>, the British ambassador to the U.S. and the former president of the United Nations Security Council.<\/p>\n \u201cHe can be our new <\/a>@UKinUSA sports attach\u00e9,\u201d she tweeted. Jane Hartley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.K., replied, \u201cYou can have him.\u201d<\/p>\n Some might argue the video was more entertaining than the game which the U.S. dominated but ended in a scoreless tie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n A well organized U.S. team pressed well and frustrated England and could feel disappointed in the end after creating the better chances in the game.<\/p>\n The United States, with two points after drawing twice, is in third place of Group B, behind England and Iran which earlier in the day scored a stunning victory <\/a>against Wales.<\/p>\n The Americans end group play on Tuesday against Iran and a victory over Team Melli would guarantee no worse than a second-place U.S. finish and advancement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
