England gets the Crying Jordan treatment after Icelandic upset
By Hunter Cooke
No one is safe from Crying Jordan, not even Wayne Rooney.
Crying Jordan is the meme that just won’t die. Every time someone proclaims that Crying Jordan is dead, at least five people turn around and photoshop Jordan over their face. It’s a cultural phenomenon in terms of the longevity creativity of the joke. Flags get Crying Jordaned, politicians get Crying Jordaned, and if your mom tweeted that she was done with Crying Jordan, she’d probably get Crying Jordaned too.
Today, England lost to Iceland 2-1 in the UEFA Euro Championship round of 16 in what is one of the biggest upsets in all time. Coming off the heels of the #Brexit decision, there has never been a time that has been better to Crying Jordan the absolute crap out of every single thing about England. No one was safe.
England’s crest wasn’t safe.
The Queen of England wasn’t safe.
Wayne Rooney wasn’t safe.

The entire English team wasn’t safe, and got Crying Jordaned from multiple directions.
In a brilliant #brexit and soccer loss Crying Jordan, England’s currency wasn’t safe.
Crying Jordan comes for us all. He does not discriminate on any grounds: the wealthy and the rich get Crying Jordaned. The old and the young get Crying Jordaned. The innocent and the guilty get Crying Jordaned. It’s not necessarily a mark of shame anymore, it’s become an inevitability for anyone who doesn’t match up in some way, whether it be small or big. However, England’s loss was big. And Crying Jordan is coming for them, heavily.
