This boosted the sense of belief among football fans in England and everyone including former players and sports analysts were sure that England would easily defeat Croatia in semi-finals. But as the game of football is full of ups and downs, the result of semi-final surprised everyone as Croatia defeated England by 2-1 and will now be playing the much-awaited final match.
This flooded social media with memes regarding “it’s coming home”. Popular contraceptive brand Durex was also quick to recognise the chance of trolling England by sharing a poster on social media in which it took a dig at “it’s coming home” by stating “you can always… come home, come late”.
This was posted on Twitter by the official handle of Durex India with a caption, “Never mind lads. #CROENG” and since then, it has been getting viral.
