Best fan video uploaded by midnight this Saturday will win €500 cash, a nice sweetener. Any fan video to do with the match is eligible by the way. Could be one filmed at home, in a pub or at work anywhere around the world, not just the Aviva.

RTÉ reports:
Shane Long sprung from the bench to crash home the winning goal as Ireland shocked the world champions with a 1-0 win in tonight’s EURO 2016 qualifier over Germany at Aviva Stadium.
The Ireland striker raced through onto a long ball before unleashing an unstoppable strike past Manuel Neuer in the Germany goal.
Meanwhile…
Tomorrow is Goal jersey day. All the soccer ball fans can go on the lash tonight and go straight to work without changing. #winning

“….[today] as Merkel met a group of 14- to 17-year-olds in the gymnasium of their school in the northern city of Rostock.
During the discussion, entitled “Good Life in Germany”, Reem, a Palestinian, told Merkel in fluent German that she and her family, who arrived in Rostock from a Lebanese refugee camp four years ago, are soon to face deportation.”
Merkel responded by saying she understood, but that “politics is sometimes hard. You’re right in front of me now and you’re an extremely sympathetic person. But you also know in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon are thousands and thousands and if we were to say you can all come … we just can’t manage it.”
Gut times.

Gülpen.
The provocative image was photoshopped by Der Spiegel for its latest edition under the headline: “How Europeans see the Germans: The German Ubermacht (superior power)”
It shows the Chancellor, smiling, with a group of Nazi commanders including Field Marshal von Brauchitsch at the Acropolis of Athens during the Axis occupation of Greece.

Not sure if this has made it’s way over to Ireland yet but it’s one of the biggest stories of the day here in Germany. [Greek Finance Minister Yanis] Varofakis took part in a political debate Sunday last on ARD (German state broadcaster) with the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble. During the debate a video was showing of Varofakis giving a lecture from two years back, in which he gave the middle finger to Germany.
Varofakis denied this immediately and said that the video had been doctored. As you can imagine the German press, especially the more right leaning, had a mini field day with this, as it basically played into there ‘good fur nothin’ Greeks’ image there trying to spread at the minute. But today a slight spanner was thrown in the works.
A video released this morning by Jan Böhmermann, the host of Neon Magazine on ZDF (basically the RTE 2 of Germany), claims that he manipulated the video and posted it on the internet himself…they go to great lengths to show them manipulating the video, they even took the shadow detail into account. No one actually knows if Böhmermann is making this all up himself, or if he’s actually telling the truth. But as far as satire goes, it’s none too bad now!!!
PS. Giving the middle finger in German is called “jdm. den Stinkefinger zeigen”, which literally translates as showing someone the stinky finger…
I faked Yanis Varoufakis middle-finger video, says German TV presenter (Guardian)
