“The England Team Without Immigrants”: 56 Funny World Cup Memes To Enjoy During Half Time
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has people all over the world losing sleep. And not only because of some surprising wins and upsets... Even those who aren't soccer fans have been setting their alarms for ungodly hours to watch matches between countries they might not have heard of before. Some are waking up for the game, others just want a glimpse of the players.
Either way, this year's tournament is serving up more than many of us expected. And it seems the beautiful game has a funny side, too. Social media has become a stadium of its own since the first whistle blew back in June, and the meme machine is working overtime. Nothing is off-side, and no team is safe.
Missed penalties, red cards, own goals, over-the-top celebrations, hydration breaks, and of course, Erling Halaand charging like a Viking have all become fodder for some of the funniest World Cup memes out there. Many can be found in a corner of the internet field apty called Soccer Memes. Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the most hilarious ones that might still have you laughing long after the final whistle blows.

Will You Be Watching The World Cup?

We actually think that lots* of US Americans are nice and decent people. The perception until recently was to have an unruly, unorganized, but caring sibling who could be trusted. Unfortunately this changed massively during the past years. Being threatened by greedy people who ignore treaties and agreements, who manipulate facts, seed hate, for which cheating and random violence are valid means of interaction - no thanks. *Not the majority, otherwise you would not have elected a jerk as king. Don't blame your ancient voting system which ignores actual votes and constitution which gives your president king-like power. Other countries fixed that during the padt 250 years. Why do you still accept it?

The England Team

Yes, it's almost like England is a very diverse country that makes more than one colour. A lot of English people have parents and grandparents from other countries, myself included, because a lot of people came to England for work in the decades following WWII. All but one of the England squad was born in England, and even he moved to England as a baby. All but one came up through an English youth academy. To say that these players are not English is not only wrong, it's racist.

A great player for his country, Always gave his best and carried on doing so long after other players would have retired. Shame he wasn't mentioned when people talked about the likes of Messi and Ronaldo

Here in England we remember Haaland’s Dad and Roy Keane crossing paths. We also enjoy that Haaland plays here every week of the season, since 2022 he’s played 132 games and scored 112 goals. He’s a machine AND a decent chap by all accounts.

I don't enjoy watching him play for a team that bought it's success. 115 charges?
