Can "spoilsport" be always used as "aguafiestas"?

The meanings are similar but not identical. I think aguafiestas
is partypooper in English. A spoilsport may be a partypooper
but they can be other things as well--a sore loser.
I think the character Scrooge is a spoil sport.

Look up killjoy, wet blanket, party pooper, grinch, stick-in-the-mud, fuddy-duddy, sourpuss, and spoilsport. They are all synonyms.

Thank you both... There are quite a few words for it.
