Enjoy this selection of the best jokes from England 1-1 Russia, as the Three Lions maintained an unwanted record of never having won an opening match in the European Championships.
Eric Dier’s second-half free kick looked to have given Roy Hodgson’s side a winning start to Group B, but Vasili Berezutski’s 92nd minute equaliser gave rise to an all-too-familiar sinking feeling.
The result was overshadowed by violent scenes off the pitch, with Russian supporters charging at their English counterparts at the final whistle.
After a promising performance had the shine taken off it in more ways than one, these were the best jokes from England 1-1 Russia:
