England lost its semi-final World Cup match against Croatia on Wednesday, bringing an end to the hopes of that bloke who jumped through a bus shelter ceiling and millions of others like him. Cynical fans might say it's inevitable – England haven't won a World Cup since 1966 – but with its first semi-final placing since 1990, and excellent performances from individual players like goalie Jordan Pickford, England's team can leave with some sense of accomplishment and improvement over previous years.

As soon as the final whistle was heard, Twitter was alight with gloating, despondency, and memes. See some of the best below.

When you lose in the World Cup, they send Trump to your country the next day to remind you that things could always be worse.

Scotland really needs to get in the World Cup next time. Whatever it takes. Cheat if we have to. Get that Cambridge Analytica mob in. Whatever it takes.
