Spain Ban Players from Using Twitter & Facebook

European Champions, Spain have banned their players from using social media sites, Twitter and Facebook.

This follows Denmark’s decision to do the same.

Barcelona player Cesc Fabregas tweeted in English on June 1: ‘From today we are not allowed to use social networks, I wish that the next picture I post will be with the Euro Cup. See you soon!’

English players will be allowed to continue Tweeting during the Euros but the FA will give them guidelines to follow to ensure they do not cause any trouble during the tournament.

England captain Steven Gerrard told a news conference on Friday: “We’ve been told not to be tweeting anything unnecessary.”
