No blaze, no flames, there wasn't so much as a spark of Will Grigg on Sunday afternoon.

In case you hadn't heard, Will Grigg is on fire... and your defence, whoever they may be, is terrified. One defence that wasn't terrified was that of Poland as Lukasz Piszczek, Kamil Glik, Michal Pazdan and Artur Jędrzejczyk weren't in the least bit frightened due to the fact that Grigg remained on the bench for the Group C opener against Northern Ireland. The Wigan striker, whose name has slipped in perfectly to the Gala hit 'Freed from Desire' in an adaptation that is sweeping through France, was not called upon by Michael O'Neill despite the fact that his side was chasing a goal late on. Grigg sat, smouldering, on the bench and Poland won 1-0. And Northern Ireland fans were absolutely furious. https://twitter.com/thatwinsaugaguy/status/742062825514893312 https://twitter.com/JamesGerbils/status/742062009676619776 https://twitter.com/JamieRob9/status/742061556880531457 https://twitter.com/nash_fraser/status/742061449208598529 https://twitter.com/crdude45/status/742060906725642240 https://twitter.com/GazWaldoTweets/status/742060126283124736 https://twitter.com/ModouBxrrow/status/742058334187102213 https://twitter.com/LorenzoDprtr/status/742057349796532224 https://twitter.com/MitchAJD/status/742049458934943744 https://twitter.com/lauriehann/status/742048327265554432 https://twitter.com/DJFlipHoldMe/status/742047307336720384 https://twitter.com/ThierryBon0/status/742058693513084929
