This is a single-panel sports meme. The top text sets up a joke: the speaker asks their Mexican friend why they are busy on a Saturday when Mexico has already been eliminated from the World Cup. The response is represented by a photoshopped image of a dog sitting on a couch, wearing an official Mexico national soccer team jersey and a Viking horned helmet, with a stoic, unamused expression. The joke plays on the common phenomenon where fans of teams eliminated from the World Cup adopt another team to support for the rest of the tournament: the Viking helmet implies the Mexican friend is now supporting a Nordic national team (such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, or Iceland) that remains in the competition.

This is a satirical edited meme featuring former US president Donald Trump's head superimposed onto the body of an official 2018 FIFA World Cup referee. Trump wears a standard yellow FIFA referee jersey printed with 2018 Russia World Cup and official FIFA referee badges, has a stern scowling expression, and holds his right hand out in a clear stop or halt gesture. The joke attached to the image claims FIFA has appointed Trump as the referee for the USA vs Belgium World Cup match, playing on popular associations with Trump's hardline immigration and border control policies to humorously imply he will stop Belgian players from advancing past the US side of the pitch or scoring against the US team.

This meme consists of a top text caption above a screenshot of professional football player Lionel Messi. The caption reads 'The World Cup cleaning staff after Japan got eliminated'. The image of Messi shows him sitting, covering his entire face with both hands, looking visibly stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated. The background of the screenshot is a 2024 Copa America final broadcast from Fox Sports, showing a score banner indicating a 0-0 draw between Argentina (ARG) and Colombia (COL) at 66 minutes and 53 seconds of match time. The joke plays on the widely documented trend of Japanese national team fans and players thoroughly cleaning their seating areas and locker rooms after World Cup matches, meaning that once Japan is eliminated from the tournament, the official cleaning staff have a far larger amount of work to handle, hence the overburdened reaction depicted by Messi.
