He's a Northern Ireland player who didn't spend a single minute on the field throughout any of NI's 4 games at the Euro-2016 championship. But that didn't stop Will Grigg, English Division One's top-scorer with Wigan, from becoming an international meme star. People are singing songs about him on the stadiums and in bars. Hell, even big football legends have jumped on the bandwagon now. The jokes about Will Grigg keep pouring like a flood. And the song Will Grigg's On Fire has made it to the UK Top-10 chart. He was also welcomed by crowds back in Northern Ireland, everybody singing that silly song about a guy who never even set foot on the footie turfs in France.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
