Poletti (they/them)

This wouldn't happen to be a club that had someone banned from attending football matches in this country turn up with other members who were boycotting a match and cause trouble would it?

The Sydney Super Cup will return to the Harbour City in July next year, kicking off with Western Sydney Wanderers vs Chelsea FC on Wednesday July 29 and concluding with the A-League All Stars Women vs Chelsea FC on August 12.

Drag him.

Utterly embarrassing for the #NWSL that the winner of the #WorldSevens takes home a $2m cash prize for a three day tournament and the salary cap in the NWSL is $3.5m.

I get to do some fun stuff sometimes. We've got content across the @roundballaus.bsky.social network to come this week from the Sydney Super Cup launch event.

Every single person who is anti-trans is a slight scratch away from going full racist. It is basically a gateway drug for racism/bigotry.

It seems fine. You pretend it’s about protecting women. You can point to famous people on your side.

But it is only ever about hate. Disgusting & cruel hatred.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Iran and Egypt set to play Seattle's World Cup LGBTQ Pride Match - Outsports A World Cup match in Seattle has been named the Pride Match. That game now features Egypt and Iran, which imprison gay people.

NEW: The #FIFAWorldCup match in Seattle on June 26 had already been designated as a “Pride Match” before the fixtures were decided. Now we know the teams who will play in it… Egypt and Iran.

Both nations have draconian anti-gay laws.

What a stat sheet.

28 years ago today, Lionel Hutz made his final speaking appearance on #TheSimpsons. “Realty Bites” first aired on Fox on December 7, 1997.

The most basic resources are food and healthcare. Every player in the squad had been born during apartheid. Half the starters against Mexico were 1.75m tall or shorter - a freakishly undersized team by international standards.

If anyone argues with you that sport is not political, you should roll out this remarkable statistic, from Simon Kuper's piece about the 2010 World Cup in the latest issue of @theblizzard.bsky.social. The legacy of apartheid was still visible in the bodies of South African footballers decades later.

That would be better than whatever the former Mount Druitt have done.

Hang on. I've just been handed a note.

Mount Druitt Town Rangers mention on Dub comms. What a good team name. It tells me where the team is located, and is a somewhat unique name. I sure hope no one changes it. #ALW #CCMvNEW

Bente Jansen has scored twice as many goals this game as the problematic Bulgarian and the German 5th division striker did in the entirety of the previous #dub season.

Thanks. Just need to rest up and I should be good.

Not being able to be at the Dub #SydneyDerby because you're sick absolutely sucks. The only plus side is getting to watch from the comfort of my own home #ALW #WSWvSYD

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

If the bar was any lower, it'd be dug into the ground.

To put this in perspective: NWSL ownership is freaking out about paying its by far most recognizable and most valuable player somewhere between like $1.25-1.5m, an amount less than 1% of a new franchise fee

Yes, young people are more progressive. Labor are no longer a progressive party, and at best are centre-right.

The only thing stopping the Greens from being a political powerhouse in this country is the constant selling-out by the party, and people my mum's age still believing Labor are left-wing

… and he SERVED ✨

If only I was in the UK to try it 😭

Which is a shame, because they've got an entire catalogue of certified bangers.

Tired: kill a killer computer by asking it what love is.

Wired: kill the entire AI industry by asking its models to actually make money.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

South Melbourne defeated Marconi Stallions 2-0 to win the Final of the first edition of the Australian Championship.

Every time I see those Isuzu Ute ads, my only thought is that Fleetwood Mac must be swimming in royalties.

Would have also been helpful to make this call like five days ago, when it could have been foreseen that there would be extreme heat at kick-off, rather than waiting until an hour before the game.

On second thought, yeah, fuck Boise State
