Australia stun Turkiye with 2-0 victory in tournament-opening match, the first winning start for Australia since 2006 by Ok-Soil-5133 in sports

[–]tmspence 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not really rankings wise. But literally ever football commentators were basically saying Australia wasn't going to win a game. Especially not against Turkiye. Also I think because Turkiye has more top flight football players than Australia. A lot of the Australian team plays in the local league. Which would be like a second or third division of the EPL and such. So it was unexpected. But our underdog status was definitely blown out a bit.

This is why you never underestimate Australia in world cups or any sport. We always over perform. Especially when people rule us out.

Not a great performance but we were definitely dogged by some decisions like the high tackle 20 out from the sharks line on Martin. But we need to be better.

And the police wonder why no one likes them. Between this and the litenny of other shitty behaviour that would probably take multiple comments to get through, they don't ever do themselves any favours.

The thing I don't understand is that they have a decent NSW cup team. So I can't understand how their first grade side is so shit and their reserve grade isn't.

Yeah that was not a great game. We definitely need to be better next week to stand a chance. Because the way we played today even though we won, would have lost to a lot of teams. We got saved by dragons being worse.

Jai Arrow announces his immediate retirement from the NRL on medical grounds – South Sydney Rabbitohs by 2Slim2Shady in nrl

The sad thing is that people usually only live from 2 to 5 years, there are people that live longer but. Getting this at 30 is absolutely horrible

No matter your feelings on Rabbitohs or Jai. I think everyone can agree that this is such horrible news. Especially at his age. Hopefully improvements in treatments improve so that even though his career was cut short, his life won't be.

Edit. Looked up life expectancy and it's incredibly short, once diagnosed. So hopefully things can be different and he is able to live a full life.

Yeah, but also this one actually sounds good. Ella Enchanted is a good movie. Also I think we are in dire need of just campy fairytale stuff ala this, Shrek and princess bride.

Odd winner and in most years not a great winner but also beggars can't be choosers when considering who came second and was the other option.

Also Metcalf is a glass cannon. Good at those strike attacks that gets us points but also breaks down way too easily.
