Those of us who have to get up at 6am every morning were treated to yet another dose of bloody extra-time last night as Germany and Algeria played out one of the most entertaining 0-0 draws in a long time. The Germans limped through in the end to set up a quarter-final with France on Friday after they beat Nigeria earlier in the evening.
Here are the best tweets from yesterday.

Ozil’s goal was a Twatweasel, not a thunderbastard. You do that to your friends in the park, you lose friends.
