People will think I'm crazy for this take, but I'm a big believer in the psychological impact of narratives on teams. Yes, Belgium looked so much better tonight and we looked lost. But this team had a boatload of good vibes behind them, and in the last 48 hours that vanished, and replacing it was a story of implicit political corruption that turned them into the bad guys, or at least the beneficiary of the corruption. You can't tell me that doesn't put pressure on the team, change the vibe, and take a psychological toll that impacted what happened on the field. American fans, serious and casual, should be pissed at this interference. We overturned a red card and our reward was losing what made this team so much fun until now.

Back home in Adelaide, we asked Socceroo Awer Mabil, one of the squad’s many refugee success stories, about suggestions Australia is a monocultural society, rather than a multicultural one.

He asked if could swear, before declaring “It’s all bullshit.”

“Australia is the best country in the world and the Socceroos are the best representation of that.
If anyone’s trying to divide that, they’re probably not Australians themselves, in a sense.

You don’t pick where you’re born, you don’t pick the colour of your skin. You choose to be a good human being. Some people, they choose against being good. That’s their own problem. Then they’re missing out on what others can bring. That’s what multiculturalism does. It brings other flavours to the table, instead of just one thing.

It’s many journeys, with one jersey.”

This is your new go-to chart any time someone complains about the tragedy of falling house prices.

Good to see Labor getting stronger support after introducing progressive tax changes to improve housing affordability .

From being born in a refugee camp to scoring at a World Cup. A message to millions. ⭐️

@jamesmassola I listened to the podcast this morning and it was very good. Would highly recommend. It also underscores how much more valuable and important Grace Tame's voice is than Charlie Pickering's.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world - the ancient city of Tyre - designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible historical sites. This is what it looks like today following multiple Israeli airstrikes.

ah the ceremonial Expression of Concern, to be followed by the inevitable ritual of Doing Nothing.

@yechielleiter @IsraeliPM @gidonsaar If you think Ben Gvir's "antics" are a problem, wait till you see what the IDF has been up to in Gaza over the last couple of years.

Socceroo Lucas Herrington is the youngest player to play 90 minutes in every MLS game this season.

The 18-year-old could be off to the World Cup, too.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

[Andrew Wilkie MP @WilkieMP]

I stand in solidarity with Palestinians who are commemorating the Nakba today. The Israeli Government’s continuing genocide in Gaza is an extension of the Nakba, despite Palestinians having every right to self-determination and to live in peace. #auspol #politas
