A hilarious video which uses footage from a Watford FC match to illustrate the state of the US election has gone viral.

The video, which has been shared by countless Twitter users including former White House communications director, has garnered hundreds of thousands of views.

It uses footage of the last few seconds of the famous Watford v Leicester City Championship play-off semi-final to depict the ballot counting situation in the US Elections.

The race for the White House has been ongoing since then with Democratic candidate Joe Biden ahead of President Donald Trump and the world has been waiting for days for the results.

The polls closed on Tuesday. But the race for the White House has been ongoing since then with Democratic candidate Joe Biden ahead of President Donald Trump and the world has been waiting for days for the results.

The process has taken longer this year due to a record increase of postal votes, and these ballots take longer to count as they have to go through a longer process of steps to ensure they’re not fraudulent.

This means that there are still some undecided states, such as Nevada, which is referenced in the video that has a deadline for mail-in ballots of November 10. The BBC reported that President Trump casted doubt on mail-in voting, referencing voter fraud.

In the meme video, a Leicester City’s Anthony Knockaert, who represents Trump, is up for a free kick as he tries to ‘claim victory’ but goal keeper Manuel Almunia blocks the initial strike, representing the ‘mail-in votes’, and rebound, ‘captioned major cities still reporting’.

Marco Cassetti clears the field. The ball is fed to Ikechi Anya, representing Arizona, and then Fernando Ferestieri (Wisconsin) who crossed to Jonathan Hogg (Michigan). The midfielder heads the ball to Troy Deeney, representing Nevada, who strikes the ball into the goal, sparking celebrations by the ‘entire sane world’.

People took to Twitter to not only comment on the use of the footage but also the election itself.

One user said: “As a Watford fan, never ever thought I’d see the day when one of the greatest moments of my life would be equated to seeing Trump ousted”.
