Mick Jagger’s Reaction To England’s World Cup Defeat Has Become Everyone’s New Favourite Meme

If there was anything good to come from England’s World Cup defeat on Wednesday night, it was the gift of a new meme.

During the football match against Argentina, Mick Jagger was among the celebrity guests spotted showing their support for the Three Lions at Atlanta Stadium.

He was even seen ahead of the game getting into the spirit by mouthing along to a rendition of Sweet Caroline, which has become England’s unofficial anthem in the last few years.

However, by the time it became apparent that football was, in fact, not coming home for England, the Rolling Stones frontman’s demeanour had changed somewhat.

Towards the end of the game, footage was shown of Mick looking crestfallen and shaking his head in despair at the result.

Naturally, social media users quickly grabbed the clip of this reaction for their own use…

Of course, the veteran rocker isn’t the only A-lister to have had a viral moment during this year’s World Cup.

Throughout the tournament, Sir David Beckham has been attending England’s games with his wife Victoria and (most of) their children.

Last week, Victoria inadvertently sparked her own viral moment thanks to her stoic reaction while the rest of her family celebrated England’s victory – to the point that even the former England striker himself felt compelled to say something.

“She was celebrating inside I promise,” Sir David wrote under one Instagram post about Victoria’s muted response. “Her reactions were slightly slower than mine.”

Many spotted that during Wednesday’s match, the former Spice Girls star had been decidedly more animated when England’s Anthony Gordon scored for the team.

While England, sadly, will not be making it through to Sunday night’s World Cup final, they do have one match left, against France, to determine which of them will be awarded third place in the tournament.
