41 h. ago Fearless Rogers leads England to double act of silencing locals and their doubters | Barney Ronay

Thomas Tuchel had his big moment in a World Cup qualifier but home fans were more concerned with off-pitch issuesSport: it just keeps on trying to tell you things. On a gripping, clammy, oddly distracted night in Belgrade, England and Serbia produced what felt at times like a twin-track spectacle, a perfect embodiment of the idea of elite sport as a kind of theatre that takes while the world burns around it.There seemed to be two quite different things happening in the same timeline. In the first of these, the official spectacle, England produced an expertly controlled away performance, in the process all but sealing qualification for the World Cup. This was a Morgan Rogers story, a Thomas Tuchel finds his moment story, the transition from joyless wiry German death-football technocrat to fun wiry German tactical rainmaker. Continue reading...

Get in touch with an emailDuring finals sign up for our free weekly AFL newsletterLast time they met: Adelaide finally snapped an 11-match winless streak against Collingwood that began with a draw in 2017 and included 10 defeats since then. The Magpies were well on the way to extending their dominance over the Crows as they jumped out to a 25-point lead at the first change. But the Crows turned the tables in the second term and had edged in front by the main break. The ball was largely camped in the Pies’ forward half from there, but the Crows made the most of their opportunities on a soggy night to hold a narrow lead heading into time-on in the final term. A Nick Daicos goal pulled the Pies back to within three points but that was the end of the scoring as the Crows hung on to seal a top-two finish.During finals sign up for our free weekly AFL newsletter Continue r...

8 d. ago ‘I watched the bombs fall. I watched the mothers’: how do we grieve the children of Gaza?

Palestine is not a metaphor. And yet – I’ve superimposed every experience of my own mothering these last months on to PalestineThe last time I carried a life, I got to hear her heartbeat exactly three times before it stopped. It was my fifth pregnancy. After the final appointment, the one where the surgeon furrowed her brow as she looked at the ultrasound, I walked down First Avenue. It was winter. It was the year after the pandemic had begun. I was feral with grief. I snapped at strangers, cried in the bodega, etc. I’d spent a year getting pregnant, then unpregnant. I’d wake in the middle of the night and remember: heartbeat, heartbeat. At times, I felt absurd for my grief. I couldn’t ascertain what the metric of a mother was, what goalpost had to be met. Had I met it? Surely grief like this – love like this – had to be more deeply earned?Three years later, I went under anesthesia again for another egg retrieval. At this point, I had a baby, nearly 18 months old. The surgery was on...
