The best of social media
Germany’s 2-0 win over Ukraine impressed professional players as well as fans, with Swansea winger Wayne Routledge tweeting “Germany are relentless btw” and Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish adding “Never seen a king of assists like Ozil”.
Mesut Ozil himself was on Twitter shortly after the match to give his thoughts.
The playing of ‘God Save The Queen’ before Northern Ireland’s match against Poland on Sunday prompted injury Manchester City and Belgium defender Vincent Kompany to ask: “If England faces Northern Ireland will we hear the same national anthem twice? Will they all sing it together… twice? I’m confused.”
Veteran Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given could barely contain his excitement on social media ahead of Monday’s Euro 2016 match with Sweden, posting: “One sleep to go for @FAIreland @UEFAEURO #EURO2016.”
Tottenham’s Belgium defenders Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld were both on Twitter on the eve of their opening Group E match with Italy in Lyon. Alderweireld stuck strictly to the facts in his tweet (see below), while Vertonghen went for the combination of motivational slogan and explanatory hashtag: “We are ready! #Euro2016.”
The ‘Will Grigg’s on fire’ chant, created by a Wigan supporter in tribute to the Northern Ireland striker, inspired a clever variation on the heat map trope as he was left on the bench for Sunday’s defeat against Poland – see below, and look closely.
