This is an excellent break down of what most working class families are going through with today’s economy.

@KobieThatcher They are so desperate …

Watch Pauline Hanson DESTROY this Guardian reporter 🔥 "I've never seen a person that's such a trashy journalist." "You don't research properly, you don't know your information, and you will put out lies about me. Well, I've had enough of that."

@norriejam The trade off was we change the name of the buildings then the reply was you agree to a hydration break .

Everyone has been so impressed by Japanese fans cleaning up after themselves but most probably missed this beautiful moment at the post-game (🇳🇱2 - 2🇯🇵) press conference. Toward the end after reporters were done asking questions, 🇯🇵head coach, Hajime Moriyasu, asked to speak one more time. 🗣️ “May I speak?” He turned to the Dutch reporters in the room. 🗣️ “I think there are many Dutch reporters here as well, so I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the people of the Netherlands once again.” Moriyasu explained that when he became part of the Japan national team, Japanese football still had no professional league. 🗣️ “I was trained by a Dutch coach named Hans Ooft. It wasn’t just me. Japanese coaches in general were greatly influenced by him, which has led to the development of Japanese soccer today.” He also mentioned another Dutch figure who shaped his career. 🗣️ “The legendary Dutch coach Wim Jansen served as the manager for J.League’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima and also as a coach for Urawa Reds, contributing to Japanese soccer.” 🗣️ “It’s not just those two. Many other coaches and players have contributed to raising the level of Japanese soccer, so I want to express my thanks. Thank you very much.” What a masterclass in graciousness and gratitude. Imagine after a high-stakes match, instead of basking in glory and bravado (well-deserved in my opinion), the coach took to the microphone to... thank his opponents publicly and sincerely. Japan's cultural operating system prizes harmony (wa), respect for precedent, and gratitude as a form of strength, not weakness. Japanese sports culture reflects its broader society where you'll see athletes bow to their opponents, thanking referees, and even crediting rivals or mentors. Think of sumo wrestlers, Olympic athletes, or even bullet-train staff apologizing for a 30-second delay. The Japanese have this concept of On (恩) - it is the sense of indebtedness to those who came before or helped you. It's what you'd expect from a culture that truly prizes continuity. Moriyasu was acknowledging a real debt to Dutch coaches like Hans Ooft (who coached Japan in the early 90s and helped professionalize the game) and Wim Jansen. Japanese football openly credits foreign influences - Dutch "Total Football" philosophy, German organization, Brazilian flair - while building something distinctly their own. Few nations do this with such little ego. Japan is pure class

Norway have qualified for their first World Cup since 1998, and the first thing they did was ship in their own cheese, fish and 6,000 oranges. A touching show of faith in the American food supply. Start with the cheese, since they hauled 116 kilograms of it across the Atlantic. Dairy in the United States can come from cows injected with a growth hormone called rBST, which has been banned across Europe for years and does not even have to appear on the label over here. Norwegian cows never go near it, so the players would sooner bring their own. The fish follows much the same logic. A good deal of American tuna is treated with carbon monoxide, sold to the trade under the lovely name "tasteless smoke," which fixes that bright red colour and keeps it looking fresh long after it has quietly stopped being so. Europe banned the practice in 2003, while America still permits it. Then the oranges, all 6,000 of them, because the US happily lets growers spray the skins with Citrus Red 2, a dye the World Health Organisation's cancer agency calls a possible carcinogen, all so a slightly green orange can pass for a ripe one on the shelf. Europe will not let it anywhere near food. So when a side with one shot at a World Cup takes a long look at the local cheese, fish and fruit and flies in a tonne of their own instead, you can understand how they got there. A ringing endorsement of American food, obviously.

They nail it every time 🤣 They are so good .@shepmates

@Arteymas_ How about Tim Cahill volley as one of the best. Ignored by everyone.

Robin van Persie anotó uno de los goles más espectaculares de la historia de los mundiales… Iker Casillas solo vio el vuelo del águila y el balón pasar a su lado, sabía que no tenía ninguna oportunidad de llegar a él…

I feel like the decision to change the format of the sport from two halves to four quarters should have been more widely discussed before it was implemented. Does anyone actually want this?

it would take 20 years to fix in some countries 😭😭 #videosvuvu

🚨 WRECKING BALL ALBO STRIKES AGAIN 🚨 New Zealand’s PM Chris Luxon just exposed our Prime Minister for what he is: economically blind. Luxon slammed a Capital Gains Tax as an absolute "wrecking ball" for the economy. He made it crystal clear he is protecting his nation from the very policies Albanese wants to force on everyday Australians. Luxon gets it. Anthony Albanese absolutely does not. And we are stuck with this economically illiterate government for another two years. The irreversible damage he will inflict on our prosperity in that time is terrifying. How much more of this economic vandalism can Australia actually take?

@AussieVal10 the man has never had a real job. Every decision has benefits & consequences. My dad told me when I was younger - when I make a decision you have to accept the consequences, the benefits are easy. There are never solutions just trade-offs.

Oh he’s a right genius, isn’t he? 🥴 The economy is on him. He is steering this sinking ship. It’s also his “change of position” on extra tax money grab. The taxes are turning Aussies off.
