Privacy International (PI) has today urged England Manager Gareth Southgate to bolster his defence ahead of the World Cup in Russia, which kicks off next Thursday. PI sent Southgate an anti-surveillance ‘Faraday cage’ phone pouch and a briefing on his vulnerability to potential spying by rival football managers and foreign governments intent on giving their team a competitive advantage. If rival governments routinely hack and intercept each other’s communications, what’s stopping rival teams’ managers getting a hold of all of England’s plans?

All managers will be seeking a competitive advantage, and would want to learn as much as they can about their rival teams’ tactics. Who’s going to play at right-back? Will Dier and Henderson play together? Who’s been tasked with finally kicking Hart out of the lads’ WhatsApp group? Even England’s top football pundits don’t know the answers to these questions, but with a bit of help from spying technology, any country that is looking for that competitive edge could hack us and learn everything they want.
