Opportunity missed to add some extra gender diversity to the board?
After 20 years of experience in Australian politics, lifelong football fan Stephen Conroy is "extraordinarily honoured" to be appointed as the A-Leagues' first Independent Chairman. Full interview: https://t.co/OjxQeDKSE5 Read his open letter to fans: https://t.co/TAKn6KU7NQ

My brain loves this
What if instead of positions, we had a more detailed way to describe footballers’ tactical roles? Here is our unique set of 18 player roles

This #FIFAWWC has changed the world, literally in front of us in hyper speed. We had been advocating for THIS for decades. Now it feels like it’s here. I’m bloody emotional because it’s over, but also because it’s beginning. Thanks to you! The future is women’s football

Success for @TheMatildas is bigger than the score at the end of the game. It’s the pride of the fans, the sentiment from Australia, the growth of the game. We’ve won in my eyes. Enjoy the moment #TilitsDone

Guaranteed goosebumps listening to World Cup winner @J_Mac1422 ❤️ 'This country gave me a second chance. This country changed my life. I have to root for @TheMatildas. I feel like an adopted Australian.' 🇦🇺🥰 #FIFAWWC #OptusSport

Whether you were at the game, at the pub or at home, we all felt this and it will stick with us forever. Not sure how we will recover but I’m absolutely beside myself that @TheMatildas are part of mainstream conversations everywhere #TilitsDone

Rapinoe NEVER misses a pen. We’re officially in some alternate universe and I’m cool with that. Football has a way of cuddling you gently before it crushes you in pain, or both. Respectful of everything the USWNT has done for the game and in the same breath, happy for Sweden
Before Sunday’s match, Rapinoe hadn’t missed a PK for a club or country since 2018.

This tournament is bonkers. More teams, more chances. Everyone is growing and the gaps are shrinking! @lachyheel I'm keen to see your 'unofficial' rankings given we're now at the end of group matches (please)
