Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany is often described as an inspiration – but he is turning to Twitter for some of his own.
The Belgium captain, who was crocked for the Red Devils’ 1-0 win over South Korea in their World Cup Group H finale, is a doubt for Tuesday’s clash with the United States of America.
And, in a bit to psych himself up to get off the physio’s table and his side into the quarter-finals, the 28-year-old has called on his followers to send him some inspirational quotes.
especially by this quote: “Either we heal as a team or we die as individuals. That’s football gentlemen.” http://t.co/dV9m0EwL5c

Kompany, who has led City to two Premier League titles since joining The Etihad outfit for £6million from German side Hamburg SV in 2008, has been equally important to his national side at the World Cup.
Much-fancied before the tournament because of their star-studded squad, Belgium have won every game at the World Cup with 1-0 wins over Russia and Korea after turning around a one-goal deficit in their opener to defeat Algeria 2-1.
