I subscribe to The Upshot and got this beauty in my mailbox today... Maybe a hint that Ridvan won't be first choice for quite a while
Gareth Southgate might be feeling the pressure to pick Phil Foden, but the most he has to fear is some media grumbling and a clip round the ear from Phil's combative mum, Claire.
Spare a thought for Croatia gaffer Zlatko Dalić, whose selection headaches come with the added threat of being horribly murdered.
Among his squad is Rangers left-back Borna Barisic, son of terrifying gangster Stipe Barisic, aka "the Moth", a member of the Cepin mafia clan.
Back in 2017, Ukranian giants Dynamo Kyiv agreed to sign Barisic, but backed out at the last minute, choosing to buy Dinamo Zagreb left-back Josip Pivaric instead.
A seething Barisic publicly accused Dinamo Zagreb of sabotaging the transfer, and 10 days later, some masked men pulled up outside the home of Dinamo executive Zdravko Mamić and shot him, but fortunately failed to kill him.
Incidentally, Josip Pivaric was not called up to the Croatia squad for the World Cup, which seems like a wise decision...
