    When you haven’t made a World Cup semi-final in 28 years, and you’ve become accustomed to painful and humiliating tournament exits, making the final four of football’s biggest showcase must feel mighty good.

    On Saturday England downed Sweden 2-0, leading to wild celebrations back home, many of which took place on the streets.

    Those celebrations included some fans charging into an IKEA store, although jumping on beds was amongst the least idiotic things we saw on Saturday.

    Here’s what went down in-store, to start:

    Silly, but mild when compared to the more damaging celebrations. Here’s the Telegraph:

    Footage and pictures shared on social media showed people climbing lampposts and on top of vehicles following the result, with some police forces recording the highest amount of emergency calls ever in one day.

    In London, one man scaled a double decker bus outside Clapham Junction station before he was filmed jumping onto a bus shelter, which smashed under his weight.

    In Borough, an ambulance was taken out of service after its bonnet and windscreen were damaged when people climbed on the emergency vehicle as crowds disrupted traffic.

    Yeah, so some fans went a little too far:

    There are always those folks who behave like nutters on the roads – this chap when they beat Panama, and this nasty incident below:

    I guess some folks aren’t very good at celebrating a win, but practice makes perfect.

    Now for something very disturbing:

    English fans in Russia are advised not to follow suit, because Russian police have been far less accommodating with transgressors:

    I reckon those police had just watched Croatia eliminate Russia, and they found some therapy in clobbering that chap with batons.

    So, what does England winning mean? It’s just great, innit?!

    It’s tough to imagine England having a better chance to win a World Cup, but I’m sure many neutrals are backing Belgium at this point.

    Can you imagine the damage English fans will cause if they win – or, for that matter, lose – the final?

    Nice to watch from afar.
