This week, our relentless pursuit of recreating summer 2018 continues with the semi-finals (and fingers crossed, the finals) of the Euros 2021. Facing off Denmark on Wednesday, it’s the first time in years many have a reason to exert some sense of national pride. Naturally then, ‘IT’S COMING HOME’ has been ringing in our ears for the last two weeks.

Not just in our ears too, but on our phones. According to Google Trends, ‘It’s coming home memes’ is a major breakout search term. That, as well as 'England football memes' , 'sweet caroline memes' and 'Gareth Southgate ikea meme'. But wait, it gets better - 'Jack Grealish Bend it like Beckham Keira Knightley memes' is also a trending search term. We. Are. Obsessed.

Essentially, we’re all looking for ways to showcase our support of the English national team, be it through Pulitzer prize deserving think pieces on Jack Grealish’s hair or simply posting the best England football memes. I mean, some people are the opposite - 'anti football memes' is also trending - but in the main, we just want to soak in the funniest football memes that come with watching England play so well.

There’s something about the way memes capture the public mood that truly makes watching football that bit more exciting. Whether you’re a football novice or a die-hard fan, they make the smallest moments seem funnier, unifying viewers in a way that even when watching at home you feel like you’re down the pub circa PC (pre-coronavirus) times.

And considering that (up until we started winning 4-0) the tournament was incredibly boring for most England fans, memes really brightened up what was fast-becoming a Love Island-esque pity watch. Now of course, that’s all turned around. While Denmark was definitely the best outcome for our semi final draw, being in kicking distance of the finals and potentially playing Spain or Italy is bringing all the 2018 World Cup energy we needed for this summer.

So, as we delve further into our football fandom and find the best England football memes to share with friends, we thought we’d treat you to our favourites. We've even divided them into sections according to your search terms, from 'Raheem Sterling memes' to ‘Italian football memes'. Because, did you really even watch the football if you didn’t send at least one meme to a friend on WhatsApp?
