Good morning to those football fans up early for @championsleague

Bayern v Celtic this morning for a place in the Round of 16.

Some of the issues for us to address in the 2024 Human Rights Watch report.

Don’t ask others to respect human rights, if we won’t.

Sad to hear about the passing of Stefan, a long time football lover and administrator.

It is clear from the response in the football community that he was very well respected.

Warmest regards to his family and rest well ❤️

The 15th consecutive sell-out for the Matildas

The 16th coming up on the Gold Coast.

Phenomenal 👏

Much better 2nd half

But Brazil too good tonight. Physically strong, lightning counter attacks.

Ellie excellent, what an athlete and competitor. Sharn superb when she came on. Kyra always good.

Good news.

No one should be immune from international law and the Rohingya deserve justice after decades of atrocities and displacement.

Refugees and asylum seekers have basic rights.

That the world agreed to grant them.

Including Australia.

They should never be an easy political target, bashed around at every election.

Let us respect and uphold our international obligations.

Love is love.

The world needs far more of it.

There’s been a staggering amount of invective, particularly on social media, about two athletes in love, Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis announcing the greatest news of their young lives.

Sam had to turn off comments

All my love & support to them both 💚💛

Amazing performance by Australia’s @paramatildas in the World Cup Final to come from 2 goals down to beat the USA 6-2!

These amazing women have become Australian football’s first World Champions 👏👏👏

Very proud of them as they secure a very special place in the history of the Australian game 💚💛 ⚽️
