The qualification campaign for Euro 2016 has finally ended, which means that some of the world's finest international players will have to curb their 'national team selfie' habit for a couple of months.

Wales have been celebrating in style after finally qualifying for a major tournament, while Belgium are the toast of football after topping FIFA's rankings for the first time in history. Away from the pitch, Lionel Messi has been wearing the most bizarre pyjamas the world has ever seen and Cristiano Ronaldo has retained his crown as the king of the football selfie.
