Back in the day, Portugal and Spain did a lot of fucked up shit. These countries stripped (or at least attempted to rid) us of our languages, customs, and more. As a matter of fact, some of the ugly things they forced on us are still felt throughout more than 20 countries (like valuing white skin over dark skin). As the World Cup really gears up on Friday, Spain and Portugal are facing off in their first game. While some may be judging the teams based on star power or rankings or other factors, some are joking about which colonizer deserves their support.

Going through Twitter, we found many people make the same joke and some geniuses called it the colonizer clásico. Below, check out what people had to say during the match.
