The #USWNT's 1-0 win over Canada on Wednesday was imperfect yet relatively comfortable. More than anything, it was a sign of depth and maturation in real time for a team moving on from experimentation and toward refinement for the World Cup.
Maaaaaan that flag should be a 🇦🇺
It wasn't the best #Matildas game I've ever watched but Kerr scored a vintage goal in her hometown, they played against a team whose game plan was not to play, and after the preparation they had, they believe they're going to grow into the Asian Cup #WAC2026

The #UCL talking points:

—Madrid & PSG: Definitely bad
—Gala came close to an all-time fumble

Just clarifying that when I described Albo in one word as "loser", I meant he's led a loser life. He's had to deal with so much loserness in his life.
As the NRL heads off to Las Vegas, it's only fitting to throw back to when Aussie rules football ventured to Canada and the US in the 1960s and 1980s. Shannon Gill looks at the wild (and at times, turbulent) history of footy in North America.

Contrary to Albanese’s word association games with the Murdoch press, I don't think Grace Tame is "difficult". She just doesn’t like dickheads and pedophiles, it's really quite simple.

The Melania movie sounds *so* disastrously bad that I want to watch it.
I don't usually get so vulnerable on social media, but I just wanted to say that the Frozen 2 soundtrack is better than the original movie. #sorrynotsorry

Why? Well, sometimes there’s an established starter
Why else? I spoke with Hayden Foxe, Max Balard, Cammy Devlin, and Kai Trewin to learn more
