The World Cup is affecting everyone it seems. The whole planet has gone football crazy and even in the Vatican, tensions are high ahead of Argentina v Switzerland this evening.

Pope Francis, of course, is from Argentina and is known to be a keen football fan and then you have the Swiss Guards who, of course, to all intents and purposes, are his bodyguards. It must have made for frosty conversation around the water-cooler this morning…
