England vs Scotland: mixed reactions and the funniest memes on the net

The Euros' football match between England and Scotland touches upon an old international rivalry. The fans of both national teams have taken to social media in build up of the game, as well as during and after to communicate their enthusiasm, pride and disappointment. We take a look at the top picks of the memes and fan reactions.

The girls tweeted about their trip together to the game and throughout. The hashtag, 'rivalsreunited' was an attempt to inspire social media users with friendly rivalry instead of animosity between fans. The rivalry was rife with most fans.

Also attending the match was Mark Wright, he posted about his excitement before the game. Though many people's excitement wavered by the second half and lots of England fans were left feeling disappointed.

That could be an understatement.

England. Time and time again they have had the chance to build and create a fantastic team. And with the wealth of players at Southgate's disposal, why was the team so disappointing for so many fans?

It was a disappointing performance from the England national team. Many have commented how lucky they were to finally come out with a 0-0 draw.

After that performance, many fans and even commentators after the game said that there wasn't much chance of football coming home.

Bookies and newspapers alike have always put England as one of the favourites to win, despite never having won the championship before. Yes, the England national team looks good on paper, but in reality could they be something less?

The fans are nearly always truly disappointed with their team. The contrast of expectations vs reality is indeed a bit like this.

The majority of Twitter and social media users who posted about the game expressed their complete shock that Southgate wouldn't put some of the best players on the pitch (and take those off which hadn't been performing well). What was his strategy?

The hype, the excitement and the build up led to a game where England failed to motivate or inspire. Or score a goal.

The end of the game promised a little more 'oomph' from the England players. It seemed as though they would step up a little. But no. As this tweet says: the classic game with two more moves.

Clowns who couldn't perform on the night? England fans really were let down by their team.

A 0-0 for Scotland is like a win. As long as England don't win, the Scots are happy. They are pleased with the result.

The team did play well. They were quick and nifty with tight passes of the ball that led to, what many would describe as, a 'victory'.

The two teams are old rivals and the Scottish fans especially will always support the team that is playing against the England side.

This 'Renaissance Painting' was a hold-your-breath moment as the England team got nearer the goal (well, nearer than usual) and there was an almost rugby like sprawl with players diving to try and regain possession of the ball.

He did a good job defending at this crucial moment and, well, as we all know, England left without a goal.

Boring water, boring ham sandwich and boring ready salted crisps. Uninspiring and just generally flat for the England fans.

No matter the outcome, England fans will always find a way to back their team and, erm, create elaborate team merchandise to show their support.

For those that can't read Scottish pronunciation... this well-known phrase means, of course, "no it isn't". Is football coming home for the English? The Scottish think not. And after this game many of the English think so, too.

It's not just memes about the England/Scotland game that have been circulating. This one noting that Greece, a very unlikely winner of the championship, has indeed won the trophy in the past; and yet England never have...

Yes, the Scots (and the English!) were excited, but perhaps the rivalry between the two teams goes deeper than football?

This is the most well-known of phrases when Scotland discusses England in terms of football. They would rather support anyone else than the English.

The Scots love their country and turned up in thousands to support their national team.

'Pish' - a word that gives a negative connotation to the subject. The Scots are indeed proud of their football, rugby and heritage.

Yet the English continue the jibes at the Scots, stating it's an open, barren land with not much civilisation. But they played well to secure a very respectful 0-0.

Despite the strong belief and faith the Scots have in their sportsmen, the English public belittled any chance that Scotland have of walking away with a successful result.

Party and celebration vs disappointment in a kilt? The English fans could only have hoped...

One hopes that this is a statistic invented by someone sat at their computer creating memes... But is it possible the English love their team so much they would miss the birth of their child?

Perhaps this is the way the English want the Scots to feel, but it seems like their fighting spirit isn't going to waiver any time soon. The fierce rivalry is still rife.

One of the favourites of many this year, this meme has made its round on social media. The little car that drops the ball off to the centre circle has been a huge hit.

Most people are now aware of the embarrassing intent at stopping a goal in Scotland's last game. They lost with a disappointing 2-0 result; but their goalkeeper, Marshall, was the butt of all jokes and memes as his embarrassing dive into the net was recorded, cut, pasted and commented on time and time again.

After the magnificent dive, Marshall proceeded to wrap himself up in the goal net. Spidey would be proud.

In fact, one particular social media user gave out a transparent background shot of the goalkeeper making his horrendous dive and telling his followers to use it to make the best memes.

Could this be how the England fans feel? There is still another game to play in the group stages so it is still all to play for.
