As November ends, traditionally, a month for remembering those who have passed, I now, finally, publish, "A Grief Endured". I hope my own account helps anyone who struggles with their loss and their grief. It is, always, okay to not be okay. GC medium.com/@gaf.connolly/a-g…

In a big country, dreams stay with you 🇦🇺🦘⚽️ #FIFAWorldCup

Let’s go boys! 🇦🇺🔥⚽️ x.com/i/status/2066037981341…

One of the commentators said the Turkish squad was worth approx 600m Euros all-up and the Socceroos were worth only about 70m Euros .... a lesson for the impressionable youth & a rebuke to the conceited that not everything of value has a price 🇦🇺🦘⚽️ #FIFAWorldCup

We finally got revenge for Gallipoli #socceroos

Poppa-mania to ensue #FIFAWorldCup

Poppa delivered us victory

The greatest Australian victory over the Turks since Beersheba. Outstanding. Two outstanding goals and a wall of Gold in defence. I have watched the Socceroos since I was a child & they have never played better or with a more gutsy attitude. Bravo lads. 🇦🇺🦘⚽️ #FIFAWorldCup

Turkey getting mowed down on the beach here. I'm here for it. #socceroos #AUSvTUR #worldcup

BELIEVE 🇦🇺🦘⚽️

SOCCEROOS GOAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Socceroos cannot just defend our way to a win. Need more attack and bringing fresh players on. We get one shot at this every 4 years. #FIFAWorldCup

One of the best halves that the Socceroos have ever played - when we play aggressively as Australians we score goals ... but this game is not won until it is won. #FIFAWorldCup

AUSTRALIA SCORES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all those rent-a-crowd protesters in Auckland today protesting against NZFirst’s bill to define in law what a man and woman is - this isn’t about you. You egotistical mouth-breathers can’t even figure out which flag to fly - is it Palestine, rainbow, or the Maori flag? It may come as a surprise to you all but the universe doesn’t just revolve around you. Your egos are only matched by your learning difficulties. This bill is about protecting women and girls’ rights, freedoms, and safety. Not about what you decide to do with your private lives. You’re right about one thing, for us to have to legislate this basic biological reality shows how much the woke mind virus has spread in our society.

I realise the Turks are an excellent squad but every Australian must fight on here ... the Gallipoli campaign was also played on a Turkish ground and yet we gave a very good account of ourselves ... 🇦🇺🦘⚽️

Seeing Knicks legends like Ewing and Oakley in the stands, I have to think Jordan is going to call them to congratulate them on the Knicks championship and then quickly transition into trash talking about how they couldn't win when he was in the league.

You can scoff at team psychology & mental preparation but in elite sports where each team is near or as good as another ... the mental edge is everything ...
