April 1 Social Zone: Foolish performance from Germany in huge World Cup qualifying upset
If you thought there would be uproar at England drawing against Poland on Wednesday night (which thankfully didn't happen), spare a thought for how Germany will be treated on Thursday.
SOCCER: Is there anything better in sport than minnows beating one of the world's biggest teams and looking like they can't quite believe it afterwards?
It was also a good night for raising awareness of Macedonia's name change to North Macedonia.

GOLF: The Masters starts in seven days, so let's begin the countdown by remembering this shot from Adam Scott back in 2010.
SOCCER: Has anyone mentioned the phrase 'spared England's blushes' yet? We're all clearly embarrassed by not winning 5-0 instead of 2-1 against a decent Poland side. (Nice finish by the way, Harry).
What a feeling 🏴🦁❤️ pic.twitter.com/gn9tzt0tqm

SOCCER: Fun fact about Kieran Tierney's performance if you didn't know: He played as a centre-back against the Faroe Islands.

SOCCER: Inter Milan have a new crest, but I'm not sure about this wording here. Anyone remember the Two Ronnies' sketch 'Swedish Made Simple?'
SOCCER: Here's Inter's new badge anyway. They announced this on Wednesday morning but their social media team must have been busy - they posted 22 times after this yesterday; mostly pictures of players doing their best model poses in new merch.
SOCCER: Pretty much.
