Furthermore, middle-class parents worked in professions where having unofficial and discreet “time-off work” during school hours was fairly normal and expected – a sort of “perk” due to their social position. I know this, as I know live in one of these middle-class areas – where parents are expected to man-mark their children throughout the day and protect them from light, dark, insects, wind, rain, and whatever else might unexpectedly come their way. Nothing must hinder their smooth entry and egress to and from school each day. In other working-class areas – the tradition of being “duffed-up” at break-times or going-home times still prevails. Mexico, as a co-host, and a much more steadier footballing nation (Mexico played in the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 and has hosted or co-hosted the tournament three-times – but has never won it) should see-off England. England is world class at the front – but the English defence is about as reliable as the water-tight doors on the Titanic! Of course, England might surprise us, but either-way, playing an England match at 1am in the morning is ludicrous and disrespectful to the country that founded football and gave the sport to the world. Children staggering into school the next day is just very poor form indeed – but here we all are!
