1-4 FULL TIME, SOCCER, FOOTBALL, BACK TO THE HANDEGG
Overview
This meme jokes about the US men's soccer team losing to Belgium. The top section displays the full-time score of a match: the USA (labeled "SOCCER") lost 1-4 to Belgium (labeled "FOOTBALL"). Below the score, there is a monochrome illustration of an American football player running while holding an American football, followed by text styled identically to the Back to the Future movie logo that reads "BACK TO THE HANDEGG". The punchline plays on two jokes: the terminology difference (the US refers to association football as soccer while most of the world calls it football, and American football is jokingly nicknamed "handegg" because it uses hands and is played with an egg-shaped ball), mocking the US for performing poorly at soccer so they are returning to playing their own version of football.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from 9Gag's RSS feed, posted under the original title "Enough, no more soccer". It references the 2014 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match between the USA and Belgium, where Belgium defeated the US (the actual match score was 2-1 to Belgium after extra time, exaggerated to 4-1 here for comedic effect). The punchline uses a parody of the well-known Back to the Future film franchise logo.
