Bolivia are abysmal if they aren’t playing on the top of a mountain.

3,600m above sea level.

Oxygen there is 10% lower than sea level.

Has to give them an advantage but that's probably also the case for countries who are used to playing in extreme heat.

By contrast, oxygen at the Dead Sea (lowest point on Earth) is 4% higher than sea level. Just make sure to remind everyone not to visit the western half of the sea as they will be inadvertently contributing to the apartheid fascist economy of Israel. And we wouldn't want that to happen.
 
Now that we've smashed New Zealand ... it's coming home...

England have been largely unconvincing under Tuchel and what's more worrying is that he still doesn't appear to know his best team.

There's a real dearth of top class players to choose from. Kane is obviously one. Rice is a very good player. Bellingham on his day can be. Apart from them, it's a collection of bang average middling squad fillers.

Oh I've visited the Dead Sea with Scottish people several times and trust me it is hilarious.

They shrivel and wilt within minutes in the heat and humidity.

One idiot decided to take a piss in it, which is a terrible idea for several reasons.
