That was just sublime from France. Lovely goal. 3-0. There are really no words to describe this performance from France. At times they are playing like it’s a training run then they just flick the switch and turn on the after burners.

The pressure of taking penalties. It gets to the best of players…e.g Baggio. Not sure I’d like to be in a position to take one! Might pull a hammy strain!

Brave effort from Iraq, but class told in the end. No disgrace losing 4-1 to Norway. They had a couple of late chances in the first half. Ultimately a goalkeeping howler broke their backs.

Nothing unites Australia like our national football teams. More than 3 million Australians tuned into the Socceroos' World Cup opener, in addition were the hundreds of thousands who packed out local pubs, live sites, and sporting clubs.

Fox likely making upwards of $250M on hydration break ads during World Cup
As the fifth day of World Cup competition draws to a close, Fox’s hydration break strategy has become abundantly clear. Despite reports of a “hybrid approach” that would supposedly see the network show the field and players during at least some hydration breaks, Fox has instead opted to go to full-screen advertisements during each and…

The changes to CGT and negative gearing were 'Ground Zero' for the housing crisis. Since then, many changes have been introduced to try to make up for the fact that investors, not owner occupiers, have had the tax system on their side. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do. What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Note from a veteran police reporter: NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.

Can’t believe people are arguing whether the guy who took down one of the terrorists is Muslim or Christian. WHY DOES IT BLOODY MATTER! The guy is still a freakin HERO whether he is black, white, yellow, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist. How many of us would have done what he did?
