What a waist (coat).

Before England fell to Croatia 2-1 in a tense World Cup semi-final, The Sun reported that around £150,000 worth of beer would be wasted for every goal England scored.

Unfortunately for England fans, they only managed one goal which wasn't enough to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

But as predicted, plenty of beer was spilt by both England and Croatian fans during the semi-final matchup.

Here's how England and Croatian fans from around the world reacted to the goals:
