This was the game that kick-started the rise of Australian Football again. 🦘🇦🇺⚽️
Everything about this match is so iconic. The kits. The names. The boots. The old school football stadium (Upton Park).
A lot of people born in the 90's were so highly impacted by this result.
The Golden Generation was here.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Dikembe Mutombo’s passing.
Dikembe was a proud and honorable man, who lived up to the definition of a word that became synonymous with his name – humanitarian. He used his many gifts and his platform to improve the lives of everyone he encountered, especially in his homeland of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and throughout Africa.
His passion for the game, its growth and the joy he brought to defense – including his undeniable presence and iconic ‘finger wag’ – made him a star on the court and with the fans around the globe.
I was fortunate to have been able to call him a friend. My family and I were beyond proud to have him represent the Hawks organization on and off the court. With his jersey in the rafters, his life and legacy will always be remembered in Atlanta.
On behalf of the entire Hawks organization, our thoughts, prayers and support are with Rose and their family at this difficult time.

Rio Ferdinand is now so embarrassed by Man United he is denying ever playing for them

Calafiori is a big reason that left hand side looks more functional. Martinelli didn't magically return to form, he simply had a better structure than before. Wait till Merino also comes in, it'll be even better. We are cooking on low heat at the moment.

We need to urgently increase affordable housing supply. And immediately pass the bills in the Senate.

I think this is the part about the Zach Lowe decision that set me off -- it's the treating NBA viewers like they're dumber than shit. The same network makes a pretty sincere effort to have intelligent NFL shows (watch anything with Mina Kimes and Ryan Clark for instance), and has/had the in-house talent to do the same for NBA ... but they don't really try and shove SAS down our throats instead.

Jo Palmer confirms that the Library is moving to self service, community can get access to library but no staff. Have to sort yourself out. This is a ridiculous idea. We can’t even fund a library worker to staff our libraries.

Inflation is now at its lowest level in three years. We’re making progress but there’s more to do.
Helping Australians who are doing it tough is our top priority.
We’ll keep working to bring costs down for families and make sure you pay a fair price at the checkout.

And what do you know?
Electricity prices are about 6% lower today than when Labor won the election.
It's funny how things evolve

All-time bad decision. Lowe is the best thing about ESPN's NBA coverage. This illustrates ESPN's strategy—doubling down on hot take artists and letting go people who actually know/care what they're talking about.
Ringer should break the bank to have Zach lead their NBA coverage.

MG are offering their MG4 hatchback for just under $31,000 — a record low price for an EV on the australian market.
won't be long before we see EVs under $30k — and with much lower operating costs than petrol cars, they'll sell very well.

A little boy in Target this morning came up to me and took my hand.
‘I’ve lost mummy. Can you find her?’
‘I’m sure I can.’
‘Mummy said that if I get lost to find someone who looks like Grandma and I will be safe.’
We found mummy. I guess the plan worked.

🚨 In his first week as Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta summoned U16 coach Dan Micciche to his office — “So, I hear you’ve got a player for me.”
Arteta had been told by Edu of a 12-year-old making waves in the U16s. His name: Ethan Nwaneri.

"The municipality with the highest poker machine losses is Glenorchy in suburban Hobart, with the data revealing $125m lost since March 2018."
$125 mil. From Glenorchy
Pokie Barons have pocketed a motza since buying the 2018 #politas election.
Basta!

I didn’t need penalties though 😄
4 - Harry Kane is the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in a European Cup/Champions League match, and the first Englishman to score 4 in a match in the competition since @9smudge for Arsenal against FK Austria Wien in 1991. Fab.
