    The rivalry goes back nearly 1000 years, with William the Conqueror’s takeover, after which he almost immediately went back to war with France. We say frogs, they say rosbif. We say Agincourt, they say Dunkirk. There’s a mutual history that makes it an actual rivalry rather than just randomly hating on the French.
