As well as some stunning moments on the pitch, there has been plenty of hilarity off it at and so far this summer. Here are the best bits – let us know in the comments if we missed anything! That Albanian fan already showed us earlier in the tournament why you shouldn’t mess with spaghetti, but just in case you needed another reminder. Italians are also pretty strict about when you should and shouldn’t drink cappuccino too, don’t forget.
Speaking of food, this Dutch TV skit is comfortably the best critique of VAR we have seen yet. It’s satire! At least, we think it is. POV: Your team just scored a 98th-minute equaliser to book their spot in the knockout stages.
Luka Modrić’s goalscoring performance was enough to earn him the Player of the Match award, but that late Italy goal sent Croatia crashing out, and the 38-year-old maestro has likely played his last match for his country. He didn’t exactly look thrilled to pick up his award after the match. But this lovely tribute paid to him by an Italian journalist in the post-match press conference seemed to cheer him up a little bit.
Albania’s defeat to Spain meant they exited the tournament with just one point to their name, but Sylvinho’s side put up a good fight in a tough group, and their fans produced one of the most impressive marches to the stadium we’ve seen yet. UEFA bureaucracy means France captain Kylian Mbappé will sadly only be able to wear a plain black mask to protect his broken nose this summ.
