Republic of Ireland have failed to reach the World Cup in Russia next summer following a heavy defeat to Denmark in the second leg of a play-off tie between the two sides.
Despite scoring first at the Aviva Stadium, Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane’s side were undone by Christian Eriksen and lost 1-5 on Tuesday night after a goalless draw in the opposite fixture in Copenhagen.
Here are the best of the jokes as Ireland lose 1-5 to Denmark in their World Cup play-off:

Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales should organise a mini-tournament next summer.
If they arranged it for the third week of the World Cup they could even keep a slot open for England.— Ian Hyland (@HylandIan) November 14, 2017
