If Cape Verde reach the round of 32, their FA banks $11m prize money.

That's 0.3% of their GDP. Apply that uplift to the US and it'd be over $100bn.

Okay, it's a crude metric... But the country's president has emphasised World Cup economic benefits too.

@ZachGarbarino @FAmmiranteTFJ A country that won’t let all the teams in has no business hosting the World Cup Similarly the despicable treatment of Senegal and Uruguay is not something hosts do. Oh yes. And the profiteering by putting up transport prices and things like water in the stadia

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@CPFC Well done guys. Great stuff

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@CarverEmily Did you really want five elections in eight years under the Tories ?

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@SaoirsedT @rameenwhile I think you are right. It makes it harder unless you are a very strong side that can steamroll everyone else

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@brianmoore666 Big parties were always unstable coalitions held together by the fact that they hated the other lot more now they are split asunder and hate their own side more

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@martincnwoch So you are pretending Liverpool have breached premier league rules for tapping up

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@smnhndmch @steve07820991 @MartinSLewis I get the point you are making but that isn’t how a parliament democracy works and no party would agree to such a proposal in government None of them

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@jessalinecaine Well no it’s not a coronation. We are a parliamentary democracy so there is no need

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@KSchneckner @Russ1Prentice @janelsooo The reason is that the game is better without that. More points don’t make a better game

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@Russ1Prentice @KSchneckner @janelsooo But the question remains. Why can’t the WR line up in the endzone? The reason they don’t is the same as the reason the offside rule exists

A real long shot but can people retweet this please.

Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.

@sedlescombemike @mikeerwydd1968 Or who are

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@DebLaughton @mikeerwydd1968 Yup. Majority of the population will find the candidate to beat the racists

Will there be a heavyweight winner, or is an upset on the cards of the Cuisine #WorldCup?

Indian v Polish - time to decide!

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@TouchmineX In what way is this a “confrontational situation”? Read the rules and you avoid looking foolish

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@AggroOddish @gazbod Very important difference. Radio and TV require completely different skills

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@dilanesper If you’re watching say the Olympic 1500m final on the track. How would you feel about an idea that athletes stop to have a drink half way round? Good idea or is endurance part of the point. It’s not neutral, the breaks change the game for no benefit

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@spicyn_fat @6Merican @KanteBeStopped7 @_nickm17 If you are saying you shake down everyone that’s hardly in your favour

Not letting team officials and indeed allowing teams to stay in the country

Forcing football into four quarters instead of two halves

Everything good about it is down to the away fans

[Sedlescombe Mike @sedlescombemike]

@DHSgov Worst hosts ever
