As the FIFA World Cup draws, soccer fanatics across the globe are showing for support for their nation (and second or third favourites) ahead of the final knock-out games, and before Sunday's climax.
Many celebrities have also taken to social media to show support by donning team's official gear, or hitting back a few with mates in a local pub, but its the Brits who have put in extra effort to show support for their national team on social media.
The English national team bagged a World Cup trophy in 1966, and reached fourth place in 1990, held in Italy. Other than that, the team have reached the quarter-finals on nine occasions, the latest of which at the 2002 (South Korea/Japan), 2006 (Germany) and reaching the semi-finals in 2018, currently underway in Russia
Here are few of our favourite UK celebrity posts.
