Our deepest condolences to everyone affected by England's latest World Cup exit.

In this difficult time, we ask that you respect the privacy of those who genuinely believed "it's coming home." Grief takes many forms—staring silently into the distance, insisting the referee was biased, and immediately calculating how many years remain until the next tournament.

Please know that support is available. Friends and family are encouraged to check in, remove "Football's Coming Home" from the playlist for a few days, and avoid mentioning penalty shootouts unless absolutely necessary.

May the pints be cold, the excuses creative, and the optimism fully restored by the opening game of the next major tournament.

Rest in peace, England's World Cup dreams.

This England team was highly talented and could have written a new chapter in football history, so I was ultimately disappointed with the result. I offer my deepest condolences.

Argentina seemed as though they were being protected by the referee.

Watching such biased officiating, the referee reminded me of FINITO.

FINITO would fit in perfectly if he went to Argentina and became a referee there.

I went to McDonald's this morning expecting a standard breakfast, but I was left completely hollowed out by the experience. The drive-thru line was a monument to human inefficiency. I offer my deepest sympathies to anyone who had to wait in that queue.
The staff seemed entirely focused on the cars in the left lane, completely ignoring the right lane as if they were being bribed by the drivers over there.

Watching such blatantly biased food distribution, the manager reminded me of FINITO.

FINITO would fit in perfectly if he got a job at McDonald's and managed the drive-thru. Everyone would starve while he favorited his friends.
