Most people, however, just wanted England to come up with a suitable riposte.

I liked that US tea-drinking celebration for the second goal, If we equalise the England players should mime taking away everyone's healthcare.

The English celebration will be to pronounce the word "aluminum" correctly, and spell the word "colour" properly. https://t.co/3Iy1WjYQ1L

just saw that American doing the drinking tea celebration and it's fine it's all good banter and part of the fun let's take it on board in good humour and kick her over an advertising hoarding

Alex Morgan celebrating by sipping a cup of English tea. In response, England will celebrate their next goal by failing to pick out other countries on a map and then shagging an apple pie #ENGUSA #lionesses pic.twitter.com/poxNjK4jY6

With a flash of brilliance, England’s Ellen White scored, but she didn’t choose any of the suggested celebrations.

Sadly, the elation was short-lived.

England get a goal disallowed: "Well, this can't get any worse"
England miss a penalty: "Well, this really can't get any worse now"
England get a red card: [puts television in bin]#ENGUSA

And for journalist, Jon Sopel, there had been more than national pride riding on the result.

Manager Phil Neville’s post-match interview was somewhat inaccurate.

“We went down to 10 men” Phil Neville. Have to say I missed that.

"We went down to ten men". No Phil, you didn't #ENGvUSA

Phil, if you had ten men on the pitch at any point, the FA might have some questions

In spite of the loss, the Lionesses still have their pride – and there’s always the Euros.
The #Lionesses have done their country proud, they gave it everything. #ENGUSA pic.twitter.com/6tjT6bsFXV
