sport news WORLD CUP AGENDA: Netflix is following Gareth Bale, and it's not all plain ... trends now
You may think those on board HMS Wag are surrounded by opulence and fellow residents whose behaviour is of an impeccably high standard. Not so much.
Agenda understands that on one recent night, a male Brazil supporter who appeared to be slightly the worse for wear urinated from the top floor of the five-storey atrium to the ground floor.
Meanwhile, the England wives and girlfriends are subject to multiple security checks, can only use cash loaded on to pre-paid cards and face reminders 'everywhere', including next to the giant screen by the pool showing World Cup matches, that they are not permitted to take booze off the boat.

There were smiles at the Al Bayt Stadium before England's draw with the USA when Chelsea executive Behdad Eghbali appeared to launch a charm offensive on Mason Mount's dad — armed with a bottle of water.
Eghbali, co-owner of the Blues with Todd Boehly, spotted Tony Mount, who acts as the midfielder's agent, on his way back from the concession stand.
Carrying four water bottles, he swiftly handed him one, as onlookers joked that it may have been an attempt to broker a new contract.
Mount's camp rejected an offer worth more than £200,000 a week before the tournament and are understood to be seeking parity with England team-mate Raheem Sterling, who is on £300,000.

And the team's victory over Argentina triggered unbridled joy from a huge following in the stands, although Agenda understands thousands of supporters are here on all-expenses-paid trips courtesy of the oil-rich state. Hundreds of staff are also in Qatar.
Insiders say to expect bids for the World Cup and Olympics in the near future.
BALE MAKES CAPTAIN'S VLOG FOR NETFLIXA Netflix crew is following Gareth Bale around Qatar with the aim of making a documentary. It will form part of a series made in conjunction with FIFA called Captains — The Chosen Few.
Croatia's Luka Modric was the first skipper to be covered for the show. Officials will no doubt be hoping that Bale and his team-mates can pull off a miracle and secure passage to the knockout stages, but they are unlikely to be short of material, with Bale one of those involved in the OneLove armband row.

Much has been made of the patchy Wi-Fi at England's HQ and how it has led to issues when players have tried to contact partners and loved ones, with calls frequently cutting off halfway through.
It is, however, also wreaking havoc with the players' ability to play online video games against each other.
