Spain officially edited Trump out of the trophy presentation

This is a satirical edited photo showing the Spain men's national football team posing on a winner's podium marked with "FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 CHAMPIONS". The team members are wearing their red and blue uniforms and winner's medals, cheering while holding up a small World Cup trophy, with confetti falling and a packed stadium crowd in the background. A disproportionately large World Cup trophy is placed behind the team, where former US president Donald Trump was superimposed in the earlier version of this meme, implying Trump has been digitally removed and replaced with the trophy for comedic effect. The joke references widespread online discourse claiming Trump was edited out of official 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy presentation footage.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 CHAMPIONS

Overview

This is a satirical edited photo showing the Spain men's national football team posing on a winner's podium marked with "FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 CHAMPIONS". The team members are wearing their red and blue uniforms and winner's medals, cheering while holding up a small World Cup trophy, with confetti falling and a packed stadium crowd in the background. A disproportionately large World Cup trophy is placed behind the team, where former US president Donald Trump was superimposed in the earlier version of this meme, implying Trump has been digitally removed and replaced with the trophy for comedic effect. The joke references widespread online discourse claiming Trump was edited out of official 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy presentation footage.

Origin notes

This meme originates from 9Gag, shared via the platform's RSS feed. It is a derivative edited work, based on an existing photo of the Spain national team celebrating a prior tournament victory, modified to satirize the viral conversation surrounding Donald Trump's alleged removal from official 2026 World Cup presentation content. The original version of this meme had Trump edited into the spot now occupied by the giant trophy, so this edit plays on the claim he was officially removed from the presentation.

The image displays a list titled 'World Cup Winners 2002-2046'. Entries from 2002 to 2022 match real, historically accurate FIFA World Cup winning countries. The remainder of the list consists of made-up, fictional winners for World Cup tournaments held from 2026 through 2046, with the final partially visible entry listing the USSR (a country that dissolved in 1991) as the 2046 winner. This absurd final line functions as the punchline, revealing the entire list is a fake joke leak, framed as being obtained from an insider working at FIFA.

This is an edited sports meme using a real photograph of the Argentina men's national football team celebrating their 2022 FIFA World Cup final victory over France. Gold WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) world championship belts have been digitally edited onto the waists of all visible players, including star player Lionel Messi, who is being embraced by his teammates while appearing emotional. The text placed at the top of the image reads 'congrats arg for winning the wwe championship', making a humorous tongue-in-cheek comparison between the high-drama, hard-fought World Cup win and a pro wrestling championship victory. Argentine flags and other stadium attendees are visible in the background of the celebration scene.

This is a satirical fake 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final match score graphic. It shows Argentina defeating England 1-0, with Lionel Messi scoring Argentina's only goal at the 34 minute mark. The central comedic premise is that every single one of England's 18 goals, scored by different members of the England squad across the full match and stoppage time, are marked as disallowed for offside, an absurdly unrealistic scenario that pokes fun at common fan jokes about England frequently suffering from controversial offside calls and bad luck in major international football tournaments, as well as the long-running rivalry between Argentina and England men's national football teams.

The image is a still from a gif capturing a large, oversized golden FIFA World Cup trophy prop that has toppled over onto the green pitch of a packed professional football stadium, during what appears to be a final match event. Numerous stadium staff, football players, and personnel are seen walking around the fallen trophy, while a huge crowd of spectators fills the stands in the background. Advertisements for Coca-Cola are visible on the sideline boards. Three crying face emojis and three skull emojis are overlaid at the bottom of the frame, conveying amusement, shock, and playful disappointment at the silly, unexpected incident.

This is a two-panel comparative reaction meme. The top half displays text stating 'FIFA expands World Cup to 64 teams' next to a photo of a Black man with an Italian flag placed over his forehead, smiling excitedly, representing Italian football fans being hopeful their national team will finally qualify for the World Cup with more available slots. The bottom half displays text stating 'Still doesn't qualify' next to the same man with a shocked, disappointed expression, mocking the Italian men's national football team's repeated failures to qualify for recent World Cup tournaments even as the total number of participating teams increases, referencing the common Italian exclamation of frustration 'Mamma Mia' from the original post title.

This is an ironic meme that uses the famous public-domain NASA 'Blue Marble' photograph of planet Earth, centered against a solid black outer space background, showing North and Central America on the planet's surface. The post title is 'Most overrated planet', with the image being Earth itself. The humor comes from the absurd, ironic take: while Earth is the only known habitable planet for humanity, many people joke about it being 'overrated' due to all its problems like climate change, political conflict, and everyday inconveniences.

This is a satirical meme playing on the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage draw that placed Egypt and Iran in the same Group G alongside Belgium and New Zealand. The edited headline labels the fixture a "'Pride Match'", creating dark irony, as both Egypt and Iran are socially conservative majority-Muslim nations with strict anti-LGBTQ+ policies, making a pride-themed match between the two an absurd, effectively impossible scenario. The image features two star football players: Mohamed Salah of Egypt in the left panel, wearing the red Egyptian number 10 national team jersey, and Mehdi Taremi of Iran in the right panel, wearing the white Iranian number 9 national team jersey while waving to the crowd. The joke aligns with the original Reddit poster's line that this is a "once in a lifetime opportunity".

This is a two-panel reaction meme referencing Spain's victory over France in a FIFA World Cup semi-final match. The first panel depicts a yellow school bus labeled 'France thinking they'll win the World Cup' stopped directly on active railroad tracks as a train approaches. The second panel shows the train, labeled 'Spain's offense', having crashed completely through the school bus, sending the destroyed bus flying off the tracks. The meme humorously frames Spain's strong offensive performance as an unstoppable force that easily overwhelmed France's World Cup aspirations.

This is a 3-panel collage meme celebrating the qualification of the three joint host nations of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada, USA, and Mexico. Each panel features a photo of players from the respective country's national soccer team celebrating on the pitch, with a large letter filled with the country's flag below the photo: 'C' for Canada, 'U' for USA, 'M' for Mexico. Text at the bottom confirms 'ALL 3 HOSTS QUALIFIED!' with a green checkmark. The core of the meme's humor is a crude pun: the first letters of the three host countries spell 'cum', a vulgar English slang term for semen. This pun is amplified by the original Reddit post title 'This world cup has jerked me so hard!', where 'jerked' is both slang for masturbation (tying to the sexual pun) and a reference to being emotionally stressed or thrown around by World Cup match results.

This image is taken from the spectator stands during a 2022 FIFA World Cup match between Canada and Qatar, confirmed by the on-field scoreboards showing a 0-0 tie between the two teams, and surrounding fans wearing Canadian red jerseys or Qatari white and maroon attire. The central focus is an older white-haired man viewed from behind, wearing a black shirt printed with "I ❤️ CANADA". The first letter "C" and final letter "A" of "CANADA" are printed in white, while the middle four letters are printed in red, creating a visual trick that makes the red portion of the text appear to spell "QATAR". Overlaid at the top of the image is white text that reads "what team is bro even on" followed by two crying laughing emojis, mocking the ambiguous dual-team reference on the fan's shirt.

This meme uses a forced perspective optical illusion for humorous effect. In the foreground, part of a girl with long dark hair wearing a blue sports top is visible on the left, and a young boy in a blue sports jersey with a neutral, slightly serious expression looking off-camera is on the right. In the background, people wearing red sports jerseys (one with the number 6 and a Nike logo) are present: a hand resting on the back of the person in the red number 6 jersey is positioned such that from the camera angle, it appears to be placed on the chest of the girl in the foreground. The title references the joke that if the girl had noticed this misleading apparent placement, she would likely have had a negative reaction, making it 'good she didn't overreact' to the illusion.

This meme displays two fake 2026 FIFA World Cup match scoreboards featuring the Cabo Verde men's national football team. The first score shows a Round of 32 knockout match after extra time, where Argentina only narrowly defeated Cabo Verde 3-2, with a goal from star player Lionel Messi listed for Argentina. The second score shows a Group H group stage full-time result where Cabo Verde held elite global football powerhouse Spain to a 0-0 draw. The joke, paired with the title 'There are levels to this game, Cabo Verde', humorously frames the small, traditionally lower-ranked Cabo Verde national team as performing at a far higher competitive level than expected, competing evenly against top international football nations.
