Think Before You Tweet, These Footballers Certainly Didn’t

With the 2014 World Cup now well under way, social media sites like Twitter have been taken over by football fans, pundits and ex players all discussing the latest goings-on over in Brazil.

Twitter has certainly brought the average fan a lot closer to the millionaire footballers who entertain and frustrate us in equal measure each week, but the micro-blogging site has also left the players open to ridicule, criticism and in some cases, even legal disputes.

Over the years we’ve seen several players fall foul to social protocol on Twitter and the guys over at pixel8 have come up with this wonderful Infographic which brings us some of the best examples featuring the likes of Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard.
