NEW: Infantino tells countries to sign up to World Cup sell-off in 53 days for $40m each - or reject it and receive $10m. "Pure bribery" says one sources. https://t.co/TyG0j7kXH3

[John Stensholt @JohnStensholt]

And you could just about guarantee Football Australia would vote for this - $20m annually should would be handy. Also would kiss goodbye any prospect of ever hosting any World Cup. The big $ ain’t here..

AFL great James Hird is leaving funds management after just three years as he looks to remove himself from any association with the First Guardian scandal, and plots a return to the Bombers.

Mr Hird is in the final stages of selling his boutique investment firm, Euree Asset Management, after shopping the fund manager around for some months, with an announcement due within days. Cliona O'Dowd has more: https://t.co/BY9tJ7xIx7

And the pre tournament contract extension. And the $5m loss coming up.

Congratulations to Popa and the comms team for controlling the narrative about being the fittest squad at the World Cup and pushing out positive vibe yarns.

World class PR.

Usual stuff coming: great fighting spirit, heroes, unlucky, should be proud, heartbreak etc.
Actually, be better. Demand more. Stop the underdog stuff. #Socceroos

Today’s result was hard to take, but the one positive for Oz Sokkah has been the return to form by @ShaunMooney11
Could do with his tactical panache and cunning dark arts next match

@ShaunMooney11 “We’re forecasting a $5m loss this year but here’s 5 lessons in resilience to learn from Popa’s selection strategies today”

@ShaunMooney11 Can’t wait to see what Anter and the gang post on LinkedIn after this

WHAT A CATCH 😯

Australian Curtis Mead hits a two-run homer, and a fan rocking an Australia shirt makes an outstanding one-handed grab 🇦🇺

@theSportress Thanks for writing how we all feel, Dan. And nice to meet you tonight.
