Jordan Pickford is the new darling of the English and here’s how the fans are celebrating his rise

England have reached their first semi-final of the World Cup since 1990 beating Sweden 2-0 in the quarterfinal.

The two goals scored by England came from defender Harry Maguire and forward Dele Alli but the unsung hero of the game was undoubtedly goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

While the match sheet will have the names of Maguire and Alli, but Jordan Pickford had equal contribution in helping Gareth Southgate’s side move to the semis.




Jordan Pickford made a number of fine saves during the game and the English fans are making sure that his heroics do not go unnoticed.

Fans have to start the hashtag Things Pickford Could Save much like that famous hashtag Things De Gea Could Save.




And immediately the fans are showing their creative side.

Here are some of the best responses:
