Since Sweden is still best identified with modular entry-level furniture, it’s only natural that England fans would try to rub it in their face, or something. Honestly, I don’t really get why you’d invade an Ikea vs, like, going to a pub and just drinking — but I’m not an excited England fan.

Ikea, to its credit, took the whole thing in stride.
I just love the mental image of Ikea thrusting £1 at British people in the hopes they’ll leave their home goods emporium untouched.
