Some weeks, I just can't really be arsed to preview all the Lesser Footy.  Especially with the German Elton John up on his cross again, wailing about the Spurs match/VAR fuck-up.  You've gotten waaaaayyyyyy more than your fair share of oopsie-doodles over the years, please just STFU.

When we last left off in recapping my sporting adventures in Oz, I had followed up BOTGs for GWS vs Sydney and RSA vs NED with another Women's World Cup match and my first ever trip to the MCG. Which leaves (checks notes) another WWC match and one last AFL

The fall is now officially here. The leaves start to turn, the plaid shirts are out, and the den is fully kitted out for just lying underneath a couple of blankets to watch football all weekend long. I know that your basic fall girls enjoy the season for different reasons
