The England match may not have set the Euros alight, but the jokes were top of the league – 28 clear winners
The most surprising thing about England’s Euros performance so far is that they’re top of Group C, which also included Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia.
It’s almost on a par with falling asleep in the garden and waking up with a Best Display award from the Chelsea Flower Show.

It’s been a disappointingly uneventful rise to the top, which sees the team go through to the knockout stages, where they’re widely expected to be immediately knocked out.
But you never know. Anything could happen, and this hat will be ready for whatever comes next.

The pitch may not have played host to the most exciting thing you’ve seen this tournament, but the internet was nevertheless inspired.

Missing that game seems to have been on a par with not watching Question Time.
