Sunset, Mooloolaba Beach, Queensland.

The sky above Mooloolaba Beach erupts in a breathtaking blaze of colour as the sun dips below the horizon.

Fiery reds, deep purples and vivid oranges glow above the darkening waters, creating the kind of sunset that makes you stop and simply take it all in.

Did you know... Mooloolaba Beach was ranked 7th in TripAdvisor’s Top 10 Beaches in the South Pacific in 2022, based on thousands of traveller reviews. 🌴

It’s also where I was conceived and lived for many years!

Greetings and congratulations to Egypt and the Egypt

That was an epic match.

We note your first ever win, and congratulate you on your progression.

We’ve only met each other twice before, both in friendlies.

It will be a great challenge to face the Pharoahs, 7 times champions of Africa.

We have a strong community of around 103,000 of Egyptian ancestry, and 23,000 Aussies born in Egypt.

This game will allow us to get to know our own Australian-Egyptians better, and to get to know you, before we meet on the field next Saturday.

We know that ancient Egyptian culture is one of the earliest recorded, around 5,000 years ago.

And while the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, you should know that our First Nations, Indigenous Australians are the oldest living culture on earth - 65,000 years of continuous existence.

We will use the opportunity to get to know you, will meet on the field with respect, and mutual ambition.

And may the best team win.

Bloody hell.

The Pope has just appointed himself coach of the world.

And the position was vacant.

He’s right, too. Football is collective, like life.

Nobody wins alone.

The striker who won’t pass — however gifted — hasn’t understood the game, and the nation that won’t share hasn’t understood the world.

And look at the state of the league. We need these messages simply because so few leaders can deliver them. With their ideological blinkers and financial and lobby influences, most politicians can’t think about togetherness, let alone advocate for it.

They’re referees who only blow the whistle against one team. And a game where the rules apply to some but not others isn’t football.

It’s cheating everyone.

We are killing each other — finding ever more innovative machines to do it remotely — while tearing up the only pitch we have. Hoarding possession. Playing the man, never the ball.

Scoring own goals against our own habitat and celebrating them as growth.

To stretch the metaphor: we are a fractured team, fouling our own teammates, shredding the laws of the game, and burning down the stadium — through corruption, division, hatred, violence, selfishness, exploitation, extraction.

The fix is what the Pope is preaching. Play for each other, not just yourself. Respect the rules — and apply them equally to every player and every nation, no exceptions, no favourites.

And protect the pitch, because there is no replacement venue.

Pass the ball. Walk the path together. Protect your teammates. Achieve as a collective. All messages direct from the beautiful game.

Pope as world manager of the year.

Nope. Didn’t see that one coming.

The first goal scored today in Australia’s game against Turkeyia was by Nestory Irankunda, who
was born a Burundian refugee in Tanzania after his parents and siblings fled their home country due to the civil war in Burundi. He plays for the Australia national team. He is regarded as one of the best Australian players of his generation. They moved to Australia when he was 3 months old.

Please tell this to anyone who might be tempted to vote for a political party in a Federal or State election that denigrates, vilifies or wants to ban refugees from coming to Australia.

Refugees don’t want to be “takers” and very often aren’t. They have seen a way of life where they are unsafe and when they arrive here they just want to create a future that gives them the opportunity to do so. They bring their talents but also commitment and determination to succeed in their new country.

Thank you Nestory for your contribution.
