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: rentre chez toi; pack your bags: faites vos valises; you are eliminated: vous êtes éliminés; your World Cup is over: votre Coupe du monde est terminée; enjoy the flight home: bon vol de retour
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.
