England's soccer team is being relentlessly ribbed on Twitter after being dumped out of Euro 2016.
Coming just days after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, it was no surprise to see #Brexit2 trending on Twitter following the shock 2-1 defeat to Iceland on Monday night.
Tweeters drew amusing parallels between both exits from Europe, poking fun at pretty much everyone involved and mocking those who have serious #regrexit over the controversial referendum.
Here are some of the best:
Kicked out of Euro twice in two weeks... that must be some kind of record.

I think maybe the players just got confused when they were told we had voted to leave Europe! #ENGICE 😳

The English haven't been this embarrassed since.....Friday #brexit2

The English football team just invoked Article 50 #Brexit2 #straightouttaeurope

Hodgson, the only man in England with a coherent plan for leaving Europe.

England squad costs 175m. If we exit, let's spend it on the NHS.

It was just a protest game. They never thought they'd lose it . #Brexit2 #ENGICE

So England were unprepared, tactically muddled and mentally weak? Are we still talking about the football? #r4today #brexit #brexit2

#Brexit2 I wasn't expecting a sequel so soon

England needs a new PM, a new opposition leader AND a new football coach. Jeez, talk about having a bad week #Brexit #ENGICE

I am starting a petition for a rematch, we weren't ready... That was just a trial run!!!! #Brexit2
— Rachel Mariah (@princessracheli) June 28, 2016
That was absolutely woeful. But we're not out of the tournament until we invoke Article 50, right?
— Alan Roden (@AlanRoden) June 27, 2016
It's ok. That £350m a week we can save on England footballer wages can be pumped into the NHS... #brexit2

Shall we all sign a petition to ask for a rematch #ENGICE #Brexit2

S&P just downgraded England football to LOL

I hope that #england won't take #brexit to literally https://t.co/N36bfKi6Fb

I've offered the PM job to Roy Hodgson. He's the only one with experience of taking us out of Europe. #Brexit2
— David Cameron (@DavidChameron) June 27, 2016
I voted for Iceland to beat England but I never thought my vote would count. Starting to get worried.
— Matthew (@Mancreviews) June 27, 2016
Somewhere in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon puts down her lamp. She's had her three wishes.
