The most wholesome moment of this World Cup has come off the field 🥹🏆 This was the reaction of Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić when he learned he would be taking charge of the Final. So, so special ❤️

Jarred Gillett is one Australian football export doing great things in the Premier League. Lucky to have heard him speak prior to leaving for the Championship in England a few years back. You could tell them he was going places. Class act.

Now this is a better use of Ref Cam, complete with audio from Jarred Gillett and the players, from Leeds vs. Man United on Sunday.

There must be undeniably something about this England team & the way they are for the rest of the cricket world to take so much glee in them losing & being knocked out early in big tournaments. Especially since they aren’t winning much to start with anyway #ChampionsTrophy

Fun Fact - There are 44 people in test cricket history that have played 20 innings and average over 50. Virat Kohli is not one of them! #FakeKing #INDvsAUS

How did we get from the 90’s to here? People got along, nobody cared about race, life was affordable, entertainment wasn’t laced with agendas, wealth was something to aspire to not scoff at, and divisive politics hadn’t permeated everything. The world was better. What happened?

Joel Wilson told Usman Khawaja that there were no other balls in the box, which is odd because I can see a twin brother and sister for the old ball. Either Wilson is crooked and his betting account needs to be checked or he’s as dumb as a post. I hope the latter… #Ashes

The spirit of cricket is surrounding the umpire and yelling at him for the entire walk off the pitch for correctly applying the rules of the game

If James Anderson isn't picked for the 5th test he will have had more series against Australia where his bowling average is greater than 75 than Glenn Mcgrath had against England where his bowling average was greater than 24

Let me get this right if I may England; 1- The score is England 1 v 2 Australia 2- Australia haven’t won a toss 3- Australia lost their best spinner early in the second test. 4- Over the last 9 tests home and away Australia lead 6-1 But you’re the better team? #Ashes23
