France are the champions of the world, after winning the FIFA Soccer World Cup on Sunday evening in Russia, but it was Twitter and SA celebs who were the real MVP's of the match with their hilarious reactions and memes.
An own-goal by Mario Mandzukic and three others by Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe gave the French the win over a determined Croatia.
While the players lifted the trophy in the pouring rain, fans across the world flooded Twitter in celebration.
There were entire moods online and here are just 12 that made us giggle
Congrats, France
What a win!
France was made in Africa?
The team had a dozen players with African roots, so it must be an African team, right?
Croatian names were made in SA too?
Lol! Thanks to rapper Nasty C for pointing this out.
Patrice could have won the World Cup for South Africa
He can do anything, mchana.
Will Smith takes it back to '98
It has been 20 years since France last won the cup and about as long as we've heard Will Smith rap. But there he was at the closing ceremony.
Maybe he can take Maroon 5 with him?
The group are good but their rendition of Bob Marley's Three Little Birds (Don't worry about a thing) in a World Cup advert got tired by match day one.
Mbappe is king
The young star shone brightest this World Cup
And also #BaeGoals
He was a reason many were still watching the World Cup.
But Macron is president
He even dabs!
Just don't let the rain fall on Putin
While virtually everyone in the stadium was soaking wet, the Russian president had an umbrella held up for him. Levels.
So, it is coming home...
Pogba was throwing shade at England's claims to be bringing the cup home, and Maps was here for it.
And so is your bae
It's been a hectic month, gents.
