TWEETS: The world briefly lost its collective sh*t to Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri's wonder goal
Oh my word.
Switzerland were in trouble as they trailed Poland 1-0 with less than ten minutes to go in their knockout game at Euro 2016.
That was before Xherdan Shaqiri stepped up and created sheer magic, sending Swiss folk and football fans in general into a brief state of euphoria.
Needless to say, people lost their collective sh*t.
Wow!!!!! β½οΈπ¨π

Could Shaqiri do that though on a wet, cold Tuesday night in Stoke?

That is Peak Shaqiri, though. Meander through a ton of games and then score the one goal you'll remember for years.

Sure, it was a great goal, but can he do it on a wet Tuesday in Stoke? #SUIPOL #Shaqiri

Doubt we will see a more spectacular goal at Euro16 than that fabulous, acrobatic overhead kick from Shaqiri. Absolutely stunning.

A 19 yard overhead kick by Shaqiri. What a finish. #Sui #Pol

Just shouted SHAQIRI loudly twice in amazement of that goal. Felt like Wyclef Jean in 2005 #SUIPOL
