I thought Pougatch on ITV put our participation into context before the game, after discussing the game with the muppets he then said, 'And now onto something more serious', what could this be I thought, more serious than the football at the football World Cup Finals, I should have known, straight into discussing why our millionaire virtual signallers should have worn their armbands.

And that's the mentality of the media covering the event, and our players actually playing in it, and when you don't concentrate 100% on the job in hand, it can happen that you don't do that job very well.
