As the World Cup whittles teams down to the final two, only the best memes also remain.
Brazilian star Neymar and his meme, where people dramatically dive to the ground gripping their face in apparent injury, is yesterday's news.
But thankfully, we've got a new online tend to fill the gaps between football matches, all thanks to England defended Kyle Walker.
It all started when Walker jokingly tweeted an image showing himself collapsing into a recovery position for cramp, while the rest of his team celebrated the winning penalty over Colombia to take them to the quarter-final.
Dad, can you show me that photo of you guys running after reaching the quarter final? -“Nah son https://t.co/WbY5StQRLQ— Kyle Walker (@Kyle Walker) 1530652127
Guys, he's still stuck there.
Still stuck in this position but the cramp has gone 😅😂 https://t.co/kQlzQDdqjQ— Kyle Walker (@Kyle Walker) 1530712445
He asked Twitter to join him, so he wasn't all alone with his legs stuck in the air.
