Watching the football; checking the stats; whatsapping your mates; pretending to listen to your significant – proof positive that men are born multi-taskers. So in the new age of two-screening our lives away, here are some twitter accounts that are certainly worth a follow during the Euro 2016:

For stats
@OptaJoe
Always on-hand with a seemingly endless supply of illuminating statistical insights,
a crafty examination of OptaJoe’s Twitter account will give you the appearance of an all-knowing football oracle.
For humour
@FootballRamble
Razor-sharp, quick off the mark, often laugh-out-loud funny;
a beautiful sideways look at the beautiful game. Should be good value during Euro 2016.
The France 2016 expert
@LaurensJulien
A French and European football expert with his fingers in many pies. Already highly regarded, expect him to have plenty
of insights to offer over the coming month.
For opinions
@MenInBlazers
The joint account of ESPN columnists Michael Davies and Roger Bennett is a haven of light-hearted football chat. They often respond to tweeters too.
For journalism
@PhilMcNulty
The BBC’s chief football writer is sharp in his own right, but as an added bonus he often retweets his colleagues’ good work.
