First there was this from Germany manager Jogi Low.
Then there was this.
And now there's another one.

Iceland are the toast of Euro 2016. They made it out of the group stage undefeated (only the third team to do that in their Euro debut) and beat Austria, a team that features one of the best young players in the world, Bayern Munich's David Alaba.
Iceland will face England on Monday to go to the quarterfinals, a match that Roy Hodgson's men will be heavily favored in by people who aren't fans of either team.
When Cristiano Ronaldo dismissed Iceland as a country with a “small mentality” following their opening 1-1 draw at Euro 2016, he couldn’t have possibly predicted that Portugal would need to look up the final Group F standings to find them.
My favorite moment of Euro 2016 so far was not an amazing goal. It was not an amazing save, or Wales somehow winning their group, or any song sang by the Irish, or Jogi Low being disgusting. At the end of Iceland and Portugal's 1-1 draw, Cristiano Ronaldo stood over a free kick from a little less than 25 yards out, easily within his range. He took the free kick. He smashed it right into the wall. The ball bounced up off the wall and while it was in the air the ref blew the whistle to end the game. Ronaldo turned around in disgust and frustration.
Lionel Messi broke Gabriel Batistuta's Argentina National Team all-time scoring record in the most dazzling way possible: with a scorching free kick. La Pulga now has 55 career goals for La Albiceleste t Batistuta's 54.
The free kick put Argentina up 2-0 on the USA. The game finished 4-0, with Gonzalo Higuain scoring twice and Ezequiel Lavezzi scoring once. The best goal of the night, though, belonged to Messi.
Northern Ireland vs. Germany finished 1-0 in favor of Die Mannschaft, but it could have been so much worse.
Germany could have ended the first half 5-0 in front, but Northern Ireland held on, thanks in large part to the performance of goalkeeper Michael McGovern, who made seven magnificent saves throughout the match.
The result sees Germany top Group C, while Northern Ireland's ability to keep the score down means they are very much still alive in this competition.
The Czech Republic vs. Turkey kicked off with both teams needing to win in order to give themselves a chance to progress.
An opening goal from Burak Yilmaz, followed by a rocket from Ozan Tufan gave Turkey a 2-0 victory, knocking the Czechs out of the competition.
Despite the win, it may not be enough for Turkey to progress, as they sit third with three points and a goal differential of negative two.
With the transfer season in full swing, agents around the world are trying to coax the most money possible out of the players they represent. One of the ways agents do this is by leaking select information to the media in order to strengthen their position in negotiations, whether that means a player’s current club improving that player’s contract or a prospective club increasing its offer in order to outbid the competition.
Fans of uninteresting 0-0 draws must have been delighted at Slovakia vs. England Monday, because it set the standard for uninteresting 0-0 draws. Slovakia fans also probably enjoyed it, because the result means the Slovaks are likely through to the knockout stage.
Unbiased observers (really, if you're an unbiased observer, why would you watch this game?) took naps, while England fans and Martin Skrtel haters — a lot of overlap in that group — were not thrilled about the game.
If you happened to watch Switzerland grind out a 0-0 draw with France on Sunday, we're sorry. We're so very, very sorry.
It was a dull game, a fact which becomes all the more prevalent when you consider the fact most of the post-game analysis has been regarding the material of the Swiss team's Puma-produced jerseys.
