Some personal news: In July I’ll start as The Post’s first Sydney bureau chief! I’ve dreamed of being a foreign correspondent since I was a freelancer in Mexico and the incredible @BoothWilliam took me under his wing.

Fed Square mentioned (again).
And they wanted to take it away from you.

Unbelievable detail in this article: Brisbane Roar’s ownership sold their 20% sell-on clause for Herrington for $560,000 AUD (~€340,000) in recent weeks.

Last December, I did a Q&A with the great Jonathan Wilson, in which he talked about the (accurate) impression many outside the U.S. have of Trump’s policies and its effect on the World Cup. Lalas offered this pearl in response. Aged well.

What?! In what way are we being “actively hostile to outsiders” re visiting the U.S. for the World Cup?

When Declan Rice joined #Arsenal, we were told that Yves Bissouma was the better player. In his four years at Tottenham, they lost seven and drew once against us. Today he leaves as a free agent, as Declan Rice goes to the World Cup as a champion. Deadly comparison.

"For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle." nytimes.com/2026/06/09/world…

Any other organization that dismissed concerns like this only for them to be utterly exposed as true would be facing questions about the future of its leadership. As it is, several confederations have expressed their intention to let this man continue to run the sport.
Gianni Infantino, 2025: "It’s important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year."
FIFA today: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👉 🇺🇸

Thousands of expensive tickets to the World Cup remain unsold one week from the tournament’s start.
There appear to be two ways FIFA can get rid of them before it has to slash prices ⬇️

If you know how much Chicago (or any other university) is paying to give everyone on campus Claude Enterprise, my DMs are open. I am curious how this expense compares to the apparently “too expensive” humanities PhD programs Chicago has cut. I bet the answer is illuminating!

Extraordinary. Wale says he couldn't even obtain a copy of China-Solomon Islands security pact until just before he departed Honiara. He's been praying" over what to do. There's an NDA in the pact. Not yet clear if he'll make it public. Wale says Solomon Islands will "review" it
Breaking - as flagged, Solomon Islands and Australia have agreed to commence negotiations on a new comprehensive treaty. Albanese says Australia is determined to elevate the relationship, and Wale says he wants to “reset” ties
