We have the match schedule for the 2026 Asian Cup, let the planning begin! www.the-afc.com/en/national/...

Probably not very professional for me to say, but I don’t think any team with a player who’s expressed homophobic views, can legally win the Golden Clit?

i wonder how much of this reticence to do a more hardcore refresh, both in individual games and long-term, is because key stakeholders aren't yet ready to process that the "golden generation" era is over without a whole lot to show for it.

Don't understand why Murphy and Gallic didn't start or at least come on at halftime. It's a friendly the result is meaningless

Why play Foord?

Ellie in the Disney+ doco: "it was great to actually have a rest" Every coach since: "let's play her every single minute in every game, including pointless friendlies." #Matildas #SheBelievesCup #AUSvCOL

You just don’t need to fly a player across an ocean and hammer them for three games in seven days, especially not when you know exactly what that player gives you and you’re playing a trio of friendlies under a interim coach. It’s as pointless as the HB in my pencil case.

What’s it gonna take for the Matildas to start the kids? I’m willing to make a trade.

Why must I fail in every attempt at masonry?

When Mohamed Al-Fayed died, his many crimes were reported in the past tense. But there are predators like him in the game now and, provided they can avoid conviction, football doesn't act. When this person is finally outed, the game will again pretend to be shocked. www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

The uncomfortable truth about Israel is that it’s not just Netanyahu, it’s their entire system and right wing ideology which we allow to coerce our own policies and politicians. How many times in our lifetimes have we been told “we stand with Israel” despite Israel not once standing with us? Enough.

Purists

When I heard the Sheargold audio, despite him saying it was a joke and humour, the tone was anything but. It felt disdainful, hateful, and really nasty. The "makes your hackles rise", "sensing danger" kind of nasty. No doubt sensed by many and why it's blown up more than just bad joke backlash.

Hello everyone, To the people following me from Twitter would know of my work and I would share samples of it here too. I am available for freelance work (data vizzes, data and tactical writing around women's football and men's football). Would love to have any leads. Thank you!

Threatening to sack the Chair of an independent authority because you don’t like a report he’s released is Trumpian. It’s so important we don’t go down that road. Really irresponsible behaviour from the Liberal Party. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Once again, when you're white and on the right, you get unlimited second chances.

Can we please have a @ejburke.bsky.social conspiracy theory podcast ASAP? Can call it the tin foil hat podcast.

If you had millions and millions in property wealth and really had nothing to show for it, should you really be trusted with the economy?

"Australia’s domestic spy chief has criticised an alleged attempt by News Corp staff to provoke workers at a Middle Eastern restaurant into making prejudicial comments as 'mind-blowingly stupid'”. Still waiting for the police to charge NewsCorp with a hate crime. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

Radio ratings: Marty Sheargold tops toughly contested category chaser.com.au/entertainmen...

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500. That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

I mean, we only know for a fact he did it once, but behaviour is the best indication of future behaviour, so I'd be shocked if it isn't a part of his regular repertoire

And this tbh is the best outcome - using Trusts, companies and superannuation can *really* muddy the waters on how much tax he might have paid.

I think the A-Leagues use of social media (fueling and provoking intolerance and hatred, and then not moderating comments) is more damaging than those silly comments on the radio yesterday, but that’s just me. 🤷‍♀️

We truly do STILL live in the age of “Sheila’s, Wogs & Poofters” Depressing.

Claiming you’ll save money by cutting the public service is like me saying I’ll save money by cutting my grocery spend by dining out every night

Whenever someone tries to claim the left invented cancel culture I remember how conservatives banned an INSTRUMENTAL song from being played on the radio in 1958 because it was too ‘raw’ (Rumble by Link Wray if you’re interested)

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

Happy Clam Chowder Day! #TheSimpsons

You have 30 minutes to move your cube 🤣🤣

Love this from Denmark

Every year, someone who should know better tells us that AFCON doesn't matter. And every year, they are wrong. It's a racist take, just so we're clear.

Dutton is a former Queensland cop who has amassed 26 properties, spent the entirety of his public life advocating for more racism and weaponising fear, all the while supporting the economic incentives that encourage assholes, racist or otherwise, to hoard 26 homes.

if all athletes can't come to a country to participate in a global competition then that competition shouldn't take place in that country

A responsible government would sack the entire ABC board and start - maybe this time with some people who have experience in, and passion of, public broadcasting. $1 million wasted on legal fees, former chair leaking against the current MD, and a News/Nine duumvirate about to take control.

Only the finest management and HR talent can end up spending $1.1 million on lawyers (just their own!) for an issue with a temporary employee who had two days left on her contract. In awe of the skills.
