Here is the turning point of the 2026 #AFLGF between Fremantle and Brisbane.
Voss kicks the goal for Freo then 'Wharfie Time' rings around the #MCG then Lions kick the next 4 Goals to snatch the win.
Enjoy is stunning 4K UHD!
@GloryDays1996 Bad.
A good chance to progress to round of 16. Second best on all metrics.
At a time when we want optimism, we fall hard at the very first hurdle
Roy Keane on Turkey losing 2-0 to Australia national soccer team in their World Cup opener:
🗣️ “I don't want to hear excuses. Before the match, everyone was talking about Turkey as if the three points were already in the bag. Well, football doesn't care about predictions.
Australia looked like a team playing for their lives. Turkey looked like a team waiting for something to happen. That's the difference. One side competed, the other side expected.
What annoys me most is the attitude. You can forgive mistakes. You can forgive missed chances. But you cannot forgive a lack of urgency at a World Cup.
Australia won the physical battle, the mental battle, and in key moments they won the football battle too. That's embarrassing if you're Turkey because they were supposed to be the team making the statement tonight.
Some players will look at the tactics, some will blame luck, and some will point fingers elsewhere. Nonsense. Start by looking in the mirror. World Cups are not won by talent alone.
The harsh reality is this: Australia arrived believing they could win. Turkey arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”
Great to see Graham Arnold doing so well. Good coach, great company and very, very competitive. Arnold was assistant coach to Frank Farina when Australia beat England at Upton Park in 2003. “We walked up the tunnel at half-time,” Arnold told me once, “and all you could hear was Beckham going to Sven, ‘we’re not f****** coming off. We can’t be down 2-0 at half-time and come off.’ Sven still changed the whole team. That p*ssed us off.”
Very good coach in his own right. Yet overlooked for English vacancies down the years, including Millwall, Bolton and Norwich. His managerial record warranted greater consideration. A-League legend. And since.
Guided Australia to the 2022 World Cup, into the knockouts and only lost to Argentina, eventual champions. L’Equipe named Arnold the best coach of the tournament. Australia alarmed England in a 2023 Wembley friendly before losing 1-0. “Last Fright of the Poms” Mirror headline. Arnold has now steered Iraq to the 2026 World Cup, their first appearance in 40 years. 👏👏
Stone cold classic of a match.
9 goals. A world class free-kick. Plenty of a drama, a ballboy getting a piggyback off an opposition player on a goal celebration.
If you're a fan of football in Australia and not following the A-League you're missing out massively.
A reminder of the last time a World Cup finals draw took place in the USA in December 1993, when Robin Williams stole the show by pissing about on stage and repeatedly making fun of Sepp Blatter.
FIFA hasn’t invited a comedy genius to help out since.
Alen Stajcic hits the nail on the head. Talking facts.
A must watch for all Aussie football fans.
The game isn’t perfect here, yes. But let’s celebrate the good things.
Less division and agendas. More unity.
In the Colombian League Final, 39 year old Hugo Rodallega was in tears after he could barely walk during the final 10 minutes of the game.
Play then resumed and he only went and scored the winner for Santa Fe…👏
This time last year at the end of round 8, just two players were averaging 20+ points per game.
Montrezl Harrell: 20.2
Kendric Davis: 20.0
Now, in NBL26, we have:
Cotton: 27.6
Prather: 24.3
McGee: 23.1
Davis: 23.1
Sobey: 21.7
Hamilton: 20.2
