This is a moment that football fans have feared for decades. A European Super League has long been threatened by some of the continent’s most storied clubs, who believe they should be entitled to more of the money and decision-making power in the game because they are the teams people want to watch.
They are England’s “big six” - Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur - plus Juventus, AC Milan and Inter from Italy, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid from Spain. A further three clubs will join, according to the Super League website, and each season five more will qualify based on domestic achievements, although details about that process have not been released.
At some point, big-name players like Lionel Messi will have to ask themselves what matters more: money or playing at a World Cup?By giving 15 clubs a permanent spot in this competition, that tension at the heart of European football is destroyed.
VinceRugari FIFA would be shooting themselves in the foot if they ban the players from the World Cup. Who would watch it if the best players weren’t playing? Same with UEFA and the Euros.

We’d rather keep our super: Why Sofia is eyeing a home interstateThe increase in the First Home Super Saver Scheme limit isn’t necessarily music to the ears of young workers in Sydney. We need more Tier2Cities and we need them now. Until its just as cool to live in Nowra, Orange, Port Macquarie as it is Sydney, housing=expensive. I have a friend who rents in Sydney. Just bought her first investment property in Adelaide. An inner city house on 700m2 for $560k compared to $1.5m median price in Sydney. We’ve made housing a commodity when in fact it is a human right. What a dumpster fire we’ve created. How the f**k did past generations save and buy houses By hard work & sacrifice without childcare handouts, seriously woke the hell up & stop treating this young generation like they have it so tough! You want it work for it. SIMPLE.

Why I’ve decided to buy shares and how I intend to do itThe Australian Securities Exchange says about 900,000 Aussies can be labelled as “intending investors” who plan to start investing in the next 12 months. A couple of LICs satisfy most of your objectives. One donates its management fee to children's charities selected by the unit holders, another prominent one is a global ethical investor. Both ASX listed. Returns of both are satisfactory. I hesitate to name them here tho.

Why are we still obsessed with the royal family?Prince Philip’s death has prompted Australians to face their long-held guilty pleasure: an undying fascination with the royal family, and what it says about them. Ritual and legacy gives a sense of connection and grounding to greater history particularly to a country that is 'young' as Australia. Serf's up! I dunno. Maybe because papers like the SMH never shut the fuck up about it?
