Euro 2016 Diary: Big, bad Barzagli´s bath and Iceland Twitter chills are multiplying

Tuesday saw a rare rest day at Euro 2016, allowing some stars to take a much-needed break, while others packed their bags for the journey home.

Confused Iceland fans, Ivan Rakitic s questionable dancing and the angriest man in a bath you ll ever meet all feature in our round-up of the more off-beat headlines of the day

 

ENGLAND GET A HERO S SEND-OFF? YOU MUST BE BARKING

After the worst defeat in their tournament history and the departure of head coach Roy Hodgson, England left Wales as the only British nation in France as they began their journey home.

But while Northern Ireland were greeted by a crowd of thousands in Belfast, England were given a pretty awkward send-off from their hotel in Nice.

Aside from the click of a few cameras and the bark of one highly dismissive dog, there was almost silence as Wayne Rooney, Jack Wilshere et al made their way to a team bus which proudly displays the tagline One team, one dream .

Right now, this is a nightmare and one they want to wake up from quickly.

It s goodbye from them

IVAN THE TERRIBLE (MOVER)

Ivan Rakitic has wasted little time in getting over Croatia s exit from Euro 2016.

The Barcelona midfielder was nigh-on inconsolable after Portugal edged past them with an extra-time winner in Lens, but a family holiday seems to have cheered him up a bit.

Quite why he felt the need to speed up the footage of him dancing with wife Raquel and his two children is beyond us, but the drudgery of close to 117 minutes of shot-less football between Croata and Portugal would have benefitted from the same treatment. UEFA, take note
