In the past (the 80s for instance) we were always told that English teams could count on their fitness as the game went on, but is that the case anymore? Croatia seemed to have more energy from the second half on.

We certainly didn't look as fit by the end. Maybe it's that old thing about the PL and it's schedule with no winter break. Hard to believe they just don't train as hard.

Broadcasters have been ordered to stop their cameras zooming in on "hot women" in the crowd at football matches, Fifa's diversity boss says.

**** the world cup then, it's ****e, **** the world too

Maybe young women enjoy being highlighted in this way?

Maybe men/lesbians like seeing 'hot women'?

There seen to be lots of crowd shots in most games. Men, women, kids, even people with dopey placards like 'Football is in our hearts'.

Perhaps preferences of women/ gays/ transgender folk could be catered for with appropriate crowd shots?

Equality for all.
