A different Twitter buzz, in reference to English team's performance, had many users spell what they will do, if England comes victorious on Wednesday and the at the World Cup final.
If we win tonight… it’s fine to send the five year old to school in her England kit tomorrow. Right?

I hate to say this but if England doesn’t win against Croatia in the World Cup today @theresa_may (a very weak leader) should resign in disgrace. They have such a great country but they don’t win anymore! So sad.
