They really are built different in Queanbeyan.

EPL's greatest success has been commercial. Just look at the Australian rights where Optus was losing tens of millions a year and now pays Stan $40 million a year to stream it. I doubt they are the only ones that overpaid too.

Diego Simeone now 3-0 against Barcelona in knockouts. 2014: 2:1 2016: 3:2 2026: 3:2

EPL is definitely underachieving considering how much money they are investing in these teams. It's not just that they are losing, but many of these knockout ties haven't really been close. Also funny how the narrative on PSG has switched. For years people used to say they can't win the CL...

Barcelona failing to win the Champions League again because of how defensively fragile they are. Like clockwork almost.

I think all these teams facing Tottenham are going to be extra motivated to try to get them relegated.

They should really be playing these games at Lakeside since Italians love stadiums with running tracks.

I watched Arsenal vs Bournemouth on Saturday. This team winning the league would be an abomination.

2 future World Cup coaches. Maybe Italy should hire Kalac next? He knows the language.

UEFA definitely got screwed by the composition of the additional 16 teams. 2022 - 13/32 = 41% 2026 - 16/48 = 33%

Some parts of the country were supporting Italy and will be very disappointed with this outcome.

Losing to Northern Ireland would be even more humiliating than losing to Macedonia.

Pressure will be on Italy. They have enough good players to make a respectable team but picking Gattuso to coach them was a weird choice.

My favourite Greek TV personality.

Do young Greek girls also speak with Valley girl accents as well?

Yep I think all the post WW2 migrants have some versions of this. They effectively created a subculture by fusing their mother tongues with Australian English. Interestingly, given how dominant English is this has also happened to a degree back in Europe. In Croatia they have taken a lot of...

Nice! What are some of the Australianisms they are using? Intermarriage is definitely a factor but a lot of people never learn the language in childhood because of how dominant English is and their family wants them to assimilate into Australia. It's a lot harder to do once you reach adulthood...

Good point. Loss of heritage language is a big problem in a lot of diasporas in Australia. Language maintenance rates among 3rd generation are very low, especially compared to the same diaspora in other Western countries such as Germany. A lot of these guys that switch countries are nowhere near...

Chelsea 2:8 PSG Man City 1:5 Real Madrid Barcelona 8:3 Newcastle Tottenham 5:7 Atletico Madrid Do they know how to defend in England these days?
