“There is no reason to be anxious,” Conte told a news conference after a game in which he made eight changes from the team that defeated Sweden knowing that Italy had finished top of the group. Conte played down the loss, saying it was undeserved and was partly caused by the bad condition of the pitch which he believed favoured the more physical style of the Irish.

For the first 170 years of the Republic, the government usually squared its books, except in time of war and economic depression. But in the last 35 years, the United States has run deficits 34 times, even when the economy was booming. This year we’re spending $200 billion more than we’re taking in. And there’s more debt on the way. The deficit will grow as the population ages, forcing the Treasury to lay out more for social security, pensions and medical care....
