These are the best jokes as Germany are knocked out of Euro 2016 by their French hosts following a 0-2 semi-final defeat in Marseille on Thursday night.
Two goals from striker Antoine Griezmann, including a controversial penalty award shortly before half-time, were enough to see off the German challenge and prevent the dominant European footballing force from reaching the final of the competition this year.
As Joachim Löw’s side exit Euro 2016, here are the best jokes after Germany 0-2 France:
The French have always relied on their powerful allies – tonight it's the referee… #GERFRA

The France NT didn't even thank the referee for helping them throughout the whole #GERFRA game. How rude.
