Australian prime minister Scott Morrison — days removed from labelling himself "a bit of a bulldozer when it comes to issues" — was taking no prisoners on the campaign trail in Tasmania on Wednesday afternoon.
The soccer landscape has seen some major changes over the past couple decades. A Millennial reflecting on their soccer days will have some entirely different stories than a kid playing soccer today.
Here are some of those similarities between what a Millennial player and what someone from Gen Z playing today might experience.
A 17-year-old Quebec soccer referee was assaulted by a soccer parent over the weekend and a video capturing the confrontation has spread on the internet. The incident happened during a U14 soccer game in Dollard-des-Ormeaux outside of Montreal.

En las manos de las estrellas costarricenses Shirley Cruz y Paulo César Wanchope se realizó el sorteo del próximo Mundial Sub 20 Femenil, a jugarse entre el 10 y el 28 de agosto de 2022.
La selección de México será parte de la competencia y llega como subcampeona de la Concacaf.
Dos días después de jugar en el amistoso entre México vs Guatemala, Marcelo Flores volvió a jugar para el Arsenal Sub 23 e incluso anotó el único gol de su equipo en el empate 1-1 ante el Leeds United.
La conquista de Flores llegó en un momento tormentoso, encapsulado por unas declaraciones del futbolista en las que se percibió un intento de condicionar su compromiso con El Tri – en desmedro de Canadá – a una nominación para el Mundial de Catar 2022.
The rivalry between México and United States is not only in the field. It's becoming more and more common to see both nations battling to convince young, talented dual-citizen soccer players to commit to their programs. Ricardo Pepi, Julián Araujo and Jonathan Gómez are the most high-profile cases last year, but the list grows and grows down the line. One example is the Cowell brothers, Cade and Chance.
We're under two months away from the all-important Concacaf U-20 Championship in Honduras, which serves as qualifying for both the 2023 U-20 World Cup in Indonesia and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
It's going to be a wild tournament with 20 teams competing — the U.S. is in Group E alongside Canada, Cuba and Saint Kitts and Nevis — but only the semifinalists qualify for the World Cup while the Olympic spots are reserved for the two finalists.
You have probably already seen videos online of Alex Alcalá collecting Manchester United U17 players' souls. The 16-year-old Mexican kid was one of the biggest sensations in the last 2022 Generation adidas Cup, and we cannot stop watching his highlights.
In case you missed his talent, you don't need to be worried. Here it is:

Mexican wonderkid Marcelo Flores didn't play a single minute in Arsenal's 3-0 Monday debacle against Crystal Palace, but he still found a way to look on the bright side of his first-ever call-up to the Gunners' first squad.
"Unfortunate result but loved the environment and experience, COYG," he wrote on his Instagram, 24 hours after the defeat.
