GROUP D | SPAIN
David de Gea thanks his critics for the motivation on Twitter
The Spanish national team goalkeeper posted on Twitter that the criticism that has been pointed his way gives him motivation and that they'll keep fighting.
Following the national side's surprise defeat to Croatia in the final group D game - resulting in a second place finish for Spain and a much tougher run to the title - goalkeeper David de Gea has been widely criticised especially from many anonymous haters on social media.
The good news for followers of La Roja is that if that criticism proves to be the inspiration that drives David into the world class performances we know he's capable of then Del Bosque's troops have more than a chance of lifting that record third consecutive title.
