"Sorry, you're David, right? From SBS. I grew up watching you!" 😍 A heartwarming moment as Awer Mabil paused his press conference to thank David Basheer and reflect on the impact that SBS had on his journey. 🏆 #FIFAWorldCup | June 12 - July 20 | Every Match on SBS 📺

Australia deserved to win. Many good moments. Three big chances created. Saudi barely threatened. To see some say it was an awful performance is bizarre. It just didn't suit your expectation that we should have 70% of the ball every game and play swashbuckling attacking football.
The amount of overreaction after every Socceroos game never ceases to amaze me. #AUSvKSA

When the penalty for aborting after rape is more severe than the penalty for rape, that's when you know it's a war on women
