How the internet responded to last night’s England v Uruguay game
Anxiety turned to excitement, which turned to hope which turned to, well, a whole lot of angry (and rather amusing) tweets
Published:
Last night’s England v Uruguay World Cup game saw Roy Hodgson’s men leave the pitch with another 2-1 defeat to their name.
Here at RadioTimes.com we’d been doing the maths on whether England would be knocked out if they lost the match, secretly hoping, of course, that it would turn out to be a pointless bit of activity.
But no such luck.
Twitter was filled with the minute-by-minute emotions of fans, which ranged from anxious excitement to outright pain…
The (fake Twitter) Queen had some thoughts for the team
If don't win, don't even think about coming back. #EnglandvsUruguay

… which was later followed by this rather unregal mention
Dear the England team, WTF?! Regards, The Queen. #EnglandvsUruguay

Some managed to keep the positivity a bit longer
Meanwhile on ITV + 1 England are still with a great chance. #EnglandvsUruguay

Others, not so much
Big choice for Hodgson now. Aisle or window seat. #EnglandvsUruguay

Some were apparently blissfully unaware of what was even going on
Best World Cup overheard so far? "Who's the guy in orange who keeps throwing the ball back?" #EnglandvsUruguay

While others thought up elaborate plans that would enable us to save the situation
So if Italy win the next two games and every other team in the tournament is abducted by aliens we go through yeah? #EnglandvsUruguay

But it wasn’t enough to completely raise spirits
Just to say- have arrived at Heathrow and have prime position to cheer England team home tomorrow #EnglandvsUruguay

Even the big guy couldn’t be moved on the issue
I just don’t like Wayne Rooney. #EnglandvsUruguay

Gosh, even the fruit was confused
We're sat in front of the TV, ready for the #EnglandvsUruguay game. We're excited. We're apprehensive. We're excitedly apprehensive.

It’s OK though, there’s still hope. In fact, maybe this guy can help?
