Use these with rival fans who are already joking about the match.
Keep the line about elimination, score, tactics, or the tournament.
Do not turn the joke into nationality, ethnicity, religion, or personal abuse.
go home: go home; pack your bags: pack your bags; you are eliminated: you are eliminated; your World Cup is over: your World Cup is over; enjoy the flight home: enjoy the flight home
Use them as playful match-day banter with rival fans, especially after elimination, a decisive loss, or a scoreboard moment. Keep the joke about football, not identity.
English-speaking fans are most likely to use the opponent's language when a rival team is knocked out, sent home, or running out of tournament time.
