Gallery: The Best GIFs and Memes From the World Cup So Far
01Clint Dempsey Wasted
Clint Dempsey Takes a Shin to the Face U.S. midfielder Clint Dempsey took a massive tibia to the grill in the team's match against Ghana. He suffered a terrible broken nose and kept on playing. America! (Expand gallery to fullscreen for larger images.)
02Bye Bye Spain
Bye-Bye Spain After defending champion team Spain got knocked out of the tournament earlier this month, GIFs like this began popping up online.
03Mexican Soccer Coach Super Saiyan
Miguel Herrera Goes Super Saiyan Mexico's head coach Miguel Herrera is a pretty animated guy. So animated that last year someone had the good sense to go ahead and turn him into 'Dragon Ball Z''s Super Saiyan while celebrating his club team's championship. It may be old, but it's never been more relevant.
04Bruno Martins' Eyes of Doom
Bruno Martins Indi's Eyes of Doom The Netherlands' Bruno Martins Indi suffered a concussion in his team's match against Australia. He's been recovering ever since, but if he keeps it up with the death-stare—like this one he gave Spain's Diego Costa—he might injure his noggin all over again.
05Bye Bye Spain 2
Bye-Bye Spain 2 This fan said adios to Spain in a more literal fashion.
06Colombia Dancing
Colombia's Synchronized Dancing Just LOOK AT IT. That is all.
07Daniel Sturridge Dancing
Daniel Sturridge's Best Moves England's Daniel Sturridge is an excellent footballer. He might be even better dancing back-up for Katy Perry. Just sayin'.
08Ghana Dancing
Ghana's Dancing Not to be outdone by Colombia, Ghana also perfected their own electric slide of sorts.
09Ronaldo Zoro
Cristiano Ronaldo's Zorro Hair Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo changes his hair a lot, but when he put this zig-zag pattern on his head the internet quickly noticed it looked like the mark of Zorro (though also possibly [done in solidarity](http://www.dailydot.com/sports/cristiano-ronaldo-zorro-haircut-usa-portugal/) with a young surgery patient.)
10Suarez Bite
Uruguay's Luis Suarez (Apparently) Takes a Bite Out of Italy's Giorgio Chiellini Luis Suarez, the Mike Tyson of professional soccer, actually sank his teeth into Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. Vampires of the world ask, "Is there a night league I can join?"
11Waxing
World Cup Waxing? No one seems entirely sure what's going on here, but apparently Spain's Diego Costa is waxing Xabi Alonso's leg during the team's win over Australia. Do you, man.
