The tweet, captioned: “Germany are out of the #FIFAWorldCup in the group stage!!”, sees Shearer laughing like a maniac and falling off his chair alongside Gary Lineker and Micah Richards.

The context behind the clip itself came after Lineker attempted to address praise Brazil legend Carlos Alberto had given Richards when he was just 22.

Lineker started off by saying: “Carlos Alberto, if you’re watching, can I just say,” before a producer behind the camera interrupted and said: “He’s dead.”

The gaffe from the ex-Barcelona ace left the three in hysterics, with the clip Shearer posted showing off their laughter.

Shearer’s post echoed the sentiment of many fans who had little sympathy for the controversial nature of the 2014 World Cup winners exit given the events that transpired in 2010.

Frank Lampard’s infamous “ghost goal” saw a shot crash in under the crossbar but spin back out of the net and an equaliser not given at a crucial time of the match.

And many England fans took to Twitter to draw comparisons and declare justice had finally been served.

One user said: “Justice for Lampard. He got 0 World Cup goals cause of that.”

A second fan said: “Lampard’s ghost goal avenged.”

Another shared an image of the Lampard goal alongside the ball right before Ao Tanaka’s Japan winner against Spain and said: “What goes around comes around…”

Some fans poked fun at VAR, saying: “Clearly Frank Lampard is in the VAR control room, taking his revenge on Germany for the 2010 ‘not goal’.”

Another said: “Superb job from Frank Lampard in the VAR room .”

Many others simply used the German word for goodbye: “Auf Wiedersehen.”
