- Trading soccer shirts
by By Sophie Inge on July 15, 2026 at 8:26 pmBritain’s Trade Minister Chris Bryant said he was texting his Argentinian counterpart, Fernando Brun, ahead of England’s World Cup clash with the champions on Wednesday — and plans to exchange soccer shirts with him.

He’s a really nice guy,” he said. “I’m teasing him. Obviously Argentina’s bound to lose.” Bryant has been pushing for a free-trade agreement with Mercosur — the South American bloc comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and recent joiner Bolivia — arguing it would be a “no-brainer” after the EU struck its own deal. The football rivalry, it seems, hasn’t got in the way of the trade relationship.
