This is a two-panel reaction meme using a screenshot of the character General Hux from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, who displays an angry, resentful expression in both panels. The first panel is overlaid with text reading "I DON'T CARE WHO WIN THE WORLD CUP", and the second panel has text reading "I JUST NEED ARGENTINA TO LOSE". The meme expresses petty, bitter sentiment from football fans who hold a grudge against the Argentina national football team, most commonly arising after Argentina's victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

This is a reaction meme featuring a screenshot of Homer Simpson from the animated series *The Simpsons*. Homer is lying in bed under blankets, staring forward with wide, tired, irritated eyes, clearly exhausted from staying up late. The text at the top of the image reads 'When you are awake until 5:00 am just to see England win.' The joke is relatable to sports fans, particularly football/soccer fans, who stay up extremely late or overnight to watch England play in international tournaments when the match is broadcast at an unfavorable time in their local time zone, leaving them overtired but happy that their team won.

This meme combines overlaid top text and a viral photograph of Spanish professional footballer Pedri. Pedri is pictured wearing a Spain national team jersey on a football pitch, with extremely prominent dark under-eye bags and an exhausted, deadpan expression as he stares directly at the camera, with teammates' arms resting on his shoulders. The overlaid text at the top reads "Bro how do you know I watch every match in this World Cup". The joke relies on Pedri's visibly sleep-deprived appearance perfectly matching the expected look of a dedicated football fan who has stayed up late across multiple time zones to watch every single World Cup match, getting almost no rest.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular Jim Halpert whiteboard presentation template from the US sitcom *The Office*. The first panel shows the character Jim Halpert pointing at a whiteboard that reads "If you are physically assaulting someone else for being a fan of a team you are against". The second panel shows the whiteboard with the follow-up blunt statement "You are a grade A bitch", as Jim looks at the viewer with a deadpan, self-assured expression. The meme criticizes the trend of violent altercations between rival sports fans, referencing that such incidents were previously reported during NBA games and have now emerged during the World Cup tournament.

We saw it in the NBA and now the World Cup is here

The meme is made up of text placed at the top of a candid photograph of a couple. The top text reads 'How men wanna be treated after their favourite team loses a game'. The photograph shows a man with a disappointed, dejected expression sitting fully on his female partner's lap while she holds him in a warm, comforting embrace and looks at him tenderly. The humor comes from highlighting the underdiscussed desire for men to receive gentle, nurturing comfort when they are upset over small disappointments like their favorite sports team losing a match, which subverts the common gendered expectation that men are always the party providing physical comfort in romantic relationships.
