The reaction to the Euro 2020 final certainly made social media an interesting place to be.
SOCCER: Roy Keane showed his true priorities as Wembley erupted in celebration at the Euro 2020 final.
How did our pundits react to Shaw's goal?

"Gary destroyed my notes!" 😫
"I spent the next 20 minutes getting the wrath of him for knocking his coffee over!" 🤣#ITAENG | @England | #Euro2020 pic.twitter.com/o9GptDBpfB
SOCCER: We suspect the young Prince George has seriously caught the soccer bug too based on this smile. Better he learns now how it ends than later in life when the lesson is harsher.

SOCCER: Although the coolest celebrations in the house were from Tom Cruise and David Beckham. In fact, Cruise and Beckham casually fist-bumping at Wembley might just be the coolest thing to ever happen anywhere.

SOCCER: A man who knows a thing or two about pressure and expectation sent his backing to the England stars who missed from the spot.
Totally agree with you. All of those players deserve and need the support of the public after that. All seem like brilliant guys. Nothing can prepare you for that level of pressure/attention/criticism at 19/20 years old. Respect 👍 https://t.co/D1BGJqeCsN

SOCCER: Of course, in finals it's who celebrates last, not who celebrates first, that matters, and Italy made sure they enjoyed it.

SOCCER: And the trophy itself found a bed for the night. For those wondering, the caption says: 'Following the tradition of a great master Fabio Cannavaro'. Pretty sure it will be defended well if anyone tries to take it...

SOCCER: But don't foget the Scottish fans too. They were onto the fifth team they have supported during Euro 2020 and they have finally got a win in the tournament.

TENNIS: And let's quickly check in at Wimbledon, where Novak Djokovic won a record-equalling men's singles title and then showed why people call him the bad guy of tennis...
— Joe Fleming (@ByJoeFleming) July 11, 2021
TENNIS: Meanwhile, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal welcomed Djokovic into a very exclusive club. Soon, without doubt, he will be in a club all on his own.
Congrats Novak on your 20th major. I'm proud to have the opportunity to play in a special era of tennis champions. Wonderful performance, well done!
— Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) July 11, 2021
Congrats @DjokerNole on this amazing achievement. 20 Grand Slam titles is huge and it is amazing that we are 3 players tied on this. Well done and, again, congrats to you and your team for this!@Wimbledon
