World Cup fever has taken England by storm this summer, with each new victory making a few more people believe that football really could be coming home.

Videos of England supporters celebrating in the streets have become the summer's hottest viral trend, with fans from up and down the country keen to show their approval of the Three Lions' upturn in fortunes this year.

Unfortunately, some football fans will always take things too far and England fans have proven to be no exception, as shown by these supporters following England's 2-0 win over Sweden to reach the semifinals on Saturday.

Video shows a horde of rampaging England fans invading an IKEA store and ransacking the entire place, jumping up and down on beds and sending furniture flying as staff struggle to contain the 'celebrations.'

Meanwhile, an IKEA spokesperson released a surprisingly restrained comment on the incident (via the Mirror) which read: “We are aware of a small group of fans celebrating the match result in one of our stores.

"Being both British and Swedish, we were on the edge of our seats during the game and we would like to say ‘Grattis!’ (that’s congratulations in Swedish) to the England team for getting through to the semifinals.

"In celebration, we’ve put one of the nation’s favourite dishes, fish and chips, on offer for just £1. Visit IKEA.co.uk for more information.”

England face Croatia on Wednesday the 11th of July, with the winner going on to play in next Sunday's final in Moscow.
