World Cup Memes For Every American Who Just Realized America Didn’t Qualify

In case you weren’t aware (and we’ll forgive you if you didn’t), the World Cup is in full swing, even though the American team didn’t qualify. The USMNT team has participated in every Wolrd Cup since 1990, so this was a pretty big blow for our second favorite version of Football.

While it can be hard to watch when your home country isn’t participating, there has been plenty of intrigue and suspense hovering over the entire competition. And the memes. There have been a lot of memes. If you’re a fan of Germany, this probably isn’t your finest moment, but now’s the time to begin the coping process. Hopefully, you can get a laugh out of these World Cup memes.

It Kind Of Snuck Up On All Of Us

Let’s be honest here. When the USA isn’t in a worldwide event, everyone suffers. We have the loudest fanbase, and ratings are guaranteed to stink when we’re not around. So, it’s not too surprising to see that a couple of us might have totally forgotten that the World Cup was even happening in the first place.

While it’s great to see underdogs on the World stage (who can even find Iceland on a map) it’s just not the same without the US of A duking it out with some of the world’s finest.
