If you picked 1 in 5 random people from the Anglosphere, you probably wouldn’t get anyone from England.

Then why are you having a tantrum? He’s not a celebrity in the culture this conversation is taking place in.

Celebrity isn’t necessarily global. Soccer is a bit of a weird thing where everyone but the English speaking world is interested in it, but none the less, someone who’s only famous as a soccer player isn’t going to be a celebrity in the English speaking world.

They make their pizza out of rice?

The statute of limitations on that has long run out.
