Argentina have repeatedly shown us everything football shouldn’t be.
Today France and England showed us what it should be.
No hate between players, no filthy fouls and trying to actually harm each other, no political statements, no favouritism, no disgusting behaviour from fans just the beautiful game.

@TheStingisBack I was never a huge fan of the sequel until I saw the directors cut.Then it all made sense.
It does contain one of my favourite 1 liners

@RalphyHeraldSun Carlton’s sugar hit will end long before Round 20
English

The AFL will postpone a decision on locking in the final two floating rounds of the season until after round 20. Some mouthwatering games including Carlton-Freo in round 24 if the Blues keep winning turn into dead rubbers if they lose the next couple. The fans are keen for clarity but the league keen for maximum drama. Clubs trying to leap into the top six and avoid five finals will only help to build a compelling finish to the home and away season @FOXFOOTY

@maxlaughton All good Max
Thanks for reply.Great win for Crows last night.
Makes life interesting at the pointy end

@dingoderek So the way it works is I’m giving each game percentage odds
For example if Brisbane were 70% to win each game, times six that’s 4.2 wins on average
That’s how you get ‘projected to lose 2 games’ rather than me picking two games they’re gonna lose. They’re favourites in all

Rest in peace, Sir Garry. There will never, ever be another like you.
It is with a incredibly heavy heart that I hear the news of the passing of the greatest of them all, Sir Garfield Sobers. For anyone who loves this beautiful game, Sir Garry wasn’t just a cricketer; he was the ultimate standard of what a cricketer could be.
When we talk about all-rounders today, we often look at players who can balance two disciplines. But Sir Garry? He was a master of five. He could bat like a dream, bowl fast-medium with the new ball, switch seamlessly to orthodox left-arm spin, bowl wrist spin, and field like a panther at short leg or in the slips. To watch him walk onto a cricket field, with that loose, rhythmic Caribbean stride, collars turned up, was to watch absolute majesty in motion. He played the game with a sublime joy and a fierce, competitive dignity that defined an entire era.
I remember the sheer awe he inspired whenever India played the West Indies. You couldn't take your eyes off him. Even when he was taking the game away from you, you couldn't help but marvel at the genius of the man. His 365 not out stood as a mountain for decades, and those six sixes in an over became the stuff of folklore. Yet, off the field, he was always an absolute gentleman—warm, incredibly generous with his knowledge, and fiercely proud of the game's finest traditions.
Cricket has lost its brightest jewel today. The stands are a little quieter, and the game is poorer without him. My deepest condolences go out to his family, his friends, and to every cricket lover across the Caribbean and the world who is mourning this incomparable loss.
