Commentary on the rough game between England and Argentina -
“Perhaps Fifa could institute the 30-minute half-time break now, to give everyone the chance to visit the quiet room and have a lie down?” writes Charles Antaki. “The more fractious ones could be read a calming story, and the ones requiring medication given an extra dose. That won’t guarantee a good match when they come back out, but it might reduce the testosterone to manageable levels.”
