Soccermemes is a Instagram account that is dedicated to making funny pictures (memes), jokes, and laughable soccer content. Besides these jokes, the account also posts updates on all soccer leagues across the world. For example, this is a picture of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney updated right after he scored his 250th goal for United, as well as the last minute game-tying goal against Stoke City. The simple image of Rooney celebrating along with the message, "You thought we would loose, didn't you." This is a comical picture because the last minute goal was a huge point salvaged by the heroism of Mr. Rooney. These types of images are posted after games or after a humiliating occurrence happens in the soccer world, such as a freekick that made the goalie freeze and not be able to save it.
The only issue that Soccermemes has is that it only appeals to one genre, or one sport, soccer. In order to understand some of these jokes is if you understand the terms that are used in soccer. For example, the word "Tekkers" is another word for "skills". This is a common phrase used in these posts. Now, if you where not a fan of soccer, you would look at the word "Tekkers" and not know what it meant. This could cause a user to not want to go on, or follow this page because they do not understand the terminology used on the page. Luckily, soccer is liked all across the world, which has helped Soccermemes develop a 1.1 million following on Instagram.
If you are a fan of the beautiful game, and you are in the mood to laugh. I highly recommend giving Soccermemes a follow.
Until Next Time,
