Tottenham make second World Cup blunder as they invite fans to England semi viewing party

Tottenham's media team have made a second World Cup blunder.

Spurs sent an email to supporters advertising a massive England semi-final viewing party at their swanky north London stadium next Wednesday. It's the club's second mistake of the tournament after erroneously congratulating their very own Richarlison for apparently making it through to the semi-finals with Brazil.

But like England, Brazil were booted out at the quarter-final stage and have headed home from Qatar to wallow in their heartache. Croatia were the masters of Richarlison and Co.'s downfall as they won a dramatic penalty shootout on Friday.

But Tottenham's Facebook page didn't get the memo, declaring: "Richarlison is into the World Cup semi-finals!" The post was quickly deleted when fans noticed the gaffe, as Spurs wrote a fresh message of support to their No.7. "Richarlison and Brazil exit the World Cup," it read. "Head up Richy."

A day later, Tottenham were at it again by firing an email to fans which should've only been sent out in the event of England beating the world champions. The heading read: "A world class venue for World Cup screenings," before more text called on supporters to "Watch England in the World Cup Semi Final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium."

"Experience the excitement and drama of a World Cup Semi-final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium," the email went on. "With a place in the Final at stake, England's date with destiny awaits on Wednesday 14th December, 7 pm KO. Will Gareth Southgate 's men make it to a first World Cup Final since 1966?"
