7M - 'Absolute Disgrace' — Chelsea Forced to Delete Enzo Fernandez Post During England's World Cup Loss to Argentina

Chelsea FC were hit with severe fan backlash and forced to delete a social media post praising Enzo Fernández during England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, Goal.com reports.

The Blues' official accounts posted promotional content celebrating the Argentine midfielder's performance while England were suffering a tournament-ending loss. The ill-timed update triggered immediate outrage from English supporters and Chelsea fans alike, who branded the club's social media management an "absolute disgrace" for insensitivity toward native fans during a painful national moment.

The severe online backlash forced Chelsea’s media admins to swiftly take down the post. The result saw Fernández and Argentina eliminate England to advance to Sunday's World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, leaving Chelsea to navigate a major public relations blunder in the aftermath.
