For those who don’t think commas are important — think again!
The English women’s soccer team is playing in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup, and Brits are crazy excited to cheer on the team — but some fans are a little TOO excited!
The cast of the West End production of the musical Bend It Like Beckham have joined many fans in making their own celebratory banner for the team.

But the absence of a comma in the cast’s banner turned what was supposed to be an encouraging sentiment into — well, take a look for yourself:
Now for a special message for #ENG from the West End cast of @BendItMusical… COME ON ENGLAND! #lionesses https://t.co/AyDAtqtfBl

You read that correctly, the “special message” is “come on our girls!”
After the BBC shared the banner on their Twitter, pretty much everyone in the UK saw the X-rated grammar faux pas.
While we’re sure it was an innocent mistake, we can’t help but wonder how no one spotted it!
Of course if the team DOES end up winning the world cup, we can totally see this dirty grammar mishap becoming a tradition in Great Britain! LOLz!
