With the group stages of the FIFA World Cup winding to a close, the tournament is set to ramp up even further thanks to the gripping, enthralling knockout rounds. The world’s best footballers will duke it out to determine which country is superior to all as far as male team ball sports are concerned. Most nation’s fans will feel the cold kiss of disappointment; getting so far only to fall. But for one country, and its people, the ultimate glory awaits.
As for the rest of us?
Memes.
A bloody shedload of good-as memes.
Of course with the World Cup taking place in the year of our lord 2018, and with the internet being the bountiful source of piss-taking that it is, the virtual cup overfloweth with quality banter from the online.
And what better way to celebrate the world wide web’s finest than by dumping some of the best World Cup memes we’ve seen into a post without rhyme, reason, or overarching theme?
You’re barely even reading this, aren’t you.
You’re just here for the memes.
We can’t blame you.
Not one little bit.

Argentina hasn’t won a game yet because Jorge Sampaoli is too busy getting ready to audition for Jersey Shore instead of actually coaching. #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/AfDYuqBxDg
