Buzz kill!
Croatia won the match!
Croatia finish off the Irish 3-1. Lots to talk about after that one. We'll do so on the #Whitecapsfc prematch show. #Euro2012

Kudos, Croatia! A win and a first time trending topic all in one day.
This business cleverly joins in on the hashtag action to pimp its services.
