World Cup Semi England vs Argentina It's Not Coming Home Meme
Text content
So, it's not coming home then?
Overview
This meme uses the classic three-presenter table scene from the UK motoring show Top Gear as its template. At the top of the image, the text reads 'So, it's not coming home then?' Between the presenters, the 2022 FIFA World Cup logo is placed in the center, with an England flag labeled with the score 1 next to the left presenter, and an Argentina flag labeled with the score 2 next to the right presenter. The joke references the popular English football fan slogan 'it's coming home', which expresses the hope that the World Cup trophy will return to England, the birthplace of modern football. The meme mocks England being defeated by Argentina with a 1-2 score in the World Cup semi-final match, with the right presenter (representing Argentina) posing the sarcastic question to the left presenter (representing England).

The meme uses sarcasm to reference the controversial 'Epstein list' conspiracy theory by depicting Syndrome denying its existence, leveraging his villainous persona from the original film.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/3b/d6/55/8b/3bd6558bae1d0e9aa384ff243b4dad65.jpeg.webp)
![An edited screenshot from the animated TV show 'The Simpsons' featuring a character with a shocked expression, holding two white squares each displaying the number '0'. Behind the character is a partial sign reading 'DAYS WITHOUT'. Prominently overlaid in bold yellow and white text is 'IDIOCACY BECOMING REALITY'. The meme humorously repurposes the '0 days without [incident]' format—typically used in workplaces to track safety streaks—to satirize the frequent perception that the 2006 film 'Idiocracy' (which depicts a dystopian future of societal decline) is increasingly reflecting现实.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/74/ef/9d/6f/74ef9d6f0896a3e35468ec49936ff372.jpeg.webp)
