narratively, this dub final is delicious

Whoever wins next week I’ll be counting it as a win for Aotearoa tbh

I’m gonna be so torn for who to support next week!

I love the hateration

people who follow Sam Kerr's snapchat: what has she been posting about her potential next move? i just listened to a podcast which noted "cryptic snapchat stories"

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Just saw an article claiming the ref thought Foord’s goal went through the side netting?! This is new levels of referee main character arc if true. I know it doesn’t really matter but it’s hurting my brain 😭

maika hamano, good young player, chelsea should look into signing her

I hope this comes back to bite Japan in the ass tbh

I’d been wondering if Kerr’s contract ending meant she’d leave on a free if they didn’t extend her… that is seriously batshit if so. Letting her go FOR FREE? Some real geniuses in charge at Chelsea…

Sonia’s foul mouth and (justified) rage at UEFA refs is keeping her somewhat endeared to me

learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit

Chelsea have their issues but the reffing in the first game is yet another time a ref has made themselves the main character in CFCWs Champions League campaign. It’s such a sour note to end on.

“vibecoding” is such a pathetic concept to me. if you like vibes so much then come play with the big boys in the humanities, coward

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course

Well well well… #cfcw

I didn't want to watch it too fast so only just finished Deadloch s2. Fuck - it's so good. I love the Kates and the world they have created so fucking much

Just your daily reminder Fuck the USA and Fuck Israel

That shade of yellow and other things just makes me think of 90s Wallabies kits… and tbh every time I see a yellow shirt go tumbling it awakens the NZ partisan sleeper cells in me lol

I mean, this Cameroun kit for example 🥰😍❤️‍🔥

Are the Matildas going to also be stuck with this fugly new kit for 2027? Such a regression after the Rennie one

Absolutely disgraceful

This is a hate post about the Craigieburn train line. I want to change jobs just to avoid it.

Fuck off ref

And freeze out Kerr. Absolute bums

Carpenter on the bench for Chelsea- omg leave her alone you bums

experiencing withdrawals from the Asian Cup, but reading the post-mortems is making me depressed. the WSL (Chelsea) is bumming me out, and i don't where to turnnnnn aghhhh

My day job atm is actually about how to pay artists to paint murals in public spaces but what I really want is more art and sports crossover. What are everyone’s favourite sports-artworks?

or can someone say something about the nwsl that makes it feel a more exciting option

ok but can we just brainstorm some other ideas for where Kerr goes that isn't the NWSL pls.

Completely agree. The ‘missed their chance’ take ignores so much. Sam and Mary are fresh off ACL recoveries — imagine what they’ll do with a full run-up to Brazil. This group & others to join, has so much left to give. Not done. Not even close. #Matildas

I don’t like the narrative of the golden generation missing their chance blah blah. It’s boring and defeatist. They have a lot more to give and i can’t wait to see what’s next #matildas

Did us proud Tillies, as you always do 💚💛

There's never going to be a game than this one to teach a new generation of supporters that the Matildas have enraptured that the default emotion of football, now and forever, is heartbreak. #JPNvAUS #WACFinal

Tbh I’d feel more complimentary of Japan if they hadn’t had the cruisiest run to the semis possible. (Yes I’m a sore, sore loser)

The fact it feels so bitterly disappointing to lose is a mark of how well the #Matildas have done since the QF. Japan didn’t look anything like the menace we thought they’d be #afc2026

Chelsea smug-posting about Maika tonight has kind of made me hate them tbh (I just want to fight someone)

All I will say is there an obvious opportunity for Sonia to get a specsavers deal out of both Hamano and Kerr’s performances in this Asian Cup

Is that Philippines through to the World Cup then? 💓🎉 #wac2026

“Definitely a card as far as I’m concerned”, well Emma Byrne, you should watch the Asian Cup, that wouldn’t even be a foul lol #wac2026

I love anything that ends with the phrase “harden tf up”

Anyway kind of wild how easily this could be Oz being badly taught a lesson tonight with one more goal in the group stage, instead of getting both this instructive warning and being plainly more battle-hardened for Japan with the NK+China KO games than we would be after an Uzbekistan QF. #WAC2026

Come on Korea find your mojo

At last someone might be held accountable for the barbaric murder of Patrice Lumumba which led to so many countless more Let’s hope a few others involved in present day Middle Eastern atrocities are looking on There should be no safe havens

Holy shit. Good!!!!!

Tillies into the final will be tough in the final on Saturday hopefully Korea and Japan go all the way to penalties and the shootout takes 3 days #CHNvAUS

The angle was Acute 🔥🔥🔥 #CHNvAUS

And do sponsors think it endears them to us when the screen suddenly shrinks in the middle of play to show their logos, because truly it is so aggravating #wac2026

men giving themselves so much body dismorphia they reinvent shapewear from first principles

Are some NWSL games just not on Stan sport? I’m home sick today so thought I’d tune in, but neither this nor the Orlando pride is available to watch? God it’s frustrating as hell trying to cobble together coverage of women’s sports, even when you pay not insignificant sums for Stan subscription etc
