Your feel-good story of the day, about a young Vietnamese-Australian joining an AFL team:
"When Jayden Nguyen was nine years old he arrived home one day and surprised his father, Duc, with the news he wanted to play footy with his mates.
"Duc knew little of the AFL, having arrived in Australia as a refugee from Vietnam with his dad in 1986, but his son was keen, so why not.
"On Saturday afternoon at the SCG the proud father will stand and speak to his son’s Bomber teammates moments before Jayden becomes, according to Essendon, the first player of Vietnamese descent to play in the AFL. He’ll also be their 14th debutant this season – an AFL era record."

Only three games left in the #WEuros
Somehow, Germany beat France to send them through to the semis where they will face big bad Spain.
England face Italy tomorrow in their semi final 😨
Nach Umbenennung von Sportteams: Trump will "Redskins" und "Indians" zurück
Vor mehr als drei Jahren änderte das Footballteam Washington Redskins seinen Namen zu Washington Commanders. Nun will US-Präsident Trump dies rückgängig machen und droht dem Verein. Auch eine Baseballmannschaft hat er im Blick.
Not against half time shows, except on football.
If they do this shit again on the #WorldCup im going to flip it.

Finally got 2 nice tickets for the test match against AS Monaco. 
Portugal did well to hold on against Spain last night.
5-0 might look like a bad scoreline but for a team that didn't even qualify* for the Euros last time, against the current World Champions, it's not too shabby.
Now, can we talk about how every group has neighbour countries in it?!

Reply or DM if you would like more info.
*I accept there may well only be three Wales games 😜

As flag football faces challenges and opportunities ahead, some feel the growth it is seeing in Japan and elsewhere could even benefit traditional gridiron. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/07/01/more-sports/flag-football-jim-mullin/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #flagfootball #football #jimmullin

AP: More than 1 million empty seats for Club World Cup group stage.
"...Just 44.9% was filled for five matches at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the site of next year’s World Cup final, and 50% at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where the 1994 championship game was played...."
(no mention of ICE sowing fear among many of the likely attendees to these matches, including both residents of the US and tourists uneasy about this country's borders)
