Don't you remember when Trump missed out on the Nobel Peace Prize, this goon from FIFA announced almost immediately that they were creating their own peace award. There was never any doubt who it was going to.

Sharelle McMahon was captain the last time AUS hosted JAM! The last test was on the Gold Coast on Aug 15 2010.

The entire 15 year, 60 match history of the Constellation Cup has occurred since then!

AUS toured JAM in 2011 and since then, the teams have only ever met at WC & CG.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Australia ends the tournament with the fewest losses of anyone and doesn't make the final. πŸ€”

Really not a fan of the league format with everyone playing everyone. Include more teams and make two pools at least.

This pessimistic Aussie never thought that. But I got South Africa wrong. I thought it would be an India v England final.

On Friday, the Diamonds had a centre pass to goal rate of 89%. The stats don't go all the way back, but it's the best % I can find in any AUS v NZ test for the past 10 years. To show how rare it is, 89% has only been bettered twice in 9 seasons of SSN.

I did this last year, so some of you will have already seen it, but for those who haven't, it's the history of trans-Tasman netball, including the result of every single test match between Australia and New Zealand.

This is a great article from Jenny Sinclair about Michelle den Dekker.

Fun fact: She was the first captain to hold up the Netball World Cup trophy. Incredibly, it took 32 years before netball had a trophy for its biggest tournament.

This is a funny one. I think Australia's the greatest country on earth. BUT... I absolutely hate the fake nationalism they go on with in America.

The only time I really want to see the flag is when we win gold at the Olympics. So-called "patriots" are making the Australian flag a symbol of racism.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Lots of news, analysis, and great images in Netball Scoop's wrap of Round 9. In the stats section, I look at Fever's clinical win over Swifts, and are there less close games than usual this year. What effect has the super shot had on margins.

I've said for years nothing will ever happen to him. Lots of people online have been trying to tell me that justice was coming for him, but nah. I've always said that he will never suffer any real consequences for all the corruption, the crimes, the evil things he's done.

Which is very Trumpian. But unlike Trump, he doesn't have a cult of followers who'll support him no matter how stupid the policy is.
