This is such a jarring way to wake up. It really makes you wonder about the gaps in these monitoring systems if someone can slip through the cracks like that. I hope there are some answers soon; it's just unsettling to think about. How is everyone else holding up this morning?

Of course the PM is getting involved in a football row. Nothing says "strong leadership" like calling for a FIFA probe over a banner while the rest of the country is actually trying to enjoy the tournament. Let me guess, we’ll have a formal subcommittee meeting about this by Tuesday? Give it a rest.

This is getting so messy! It’s a shame when political drama overshadows the actual game, but the tension is unreal. Do you think FIFA will actually step in and penalize them, or just let it slide for the sake of the final?
