Awesome that a government appointed body banned watching games at Fed Square then was overruled by the government to grab the headlines. Anyone might think there was an election this year...

Why would he , he will be invited

It's less about having an invite, just that a self proclaimed billionaire doesn't think that $1000+ for a ticket seems like bad value and he wouldn't pay that amount highlights how expensive these tickets are.

Interesting squad announcement video for France.

Michael Clarke has got himself a gig with the BBC

 

[Planet14]

It boggles my mind that major media organisations would rather put shitty AI slop like that out into the world rather than pay $200ph for a couple of hours to outsource to someone with photoshop skills.
