Um... so Gavin, are you really gonna try to spin this whole Egypt vs. Socceroos match as some kind of victory for diversity?

The only thing diverse about that game was the way Australia's fans felt after it ended--diverse shades of pissed off. Look, I get that the Socceroos have a lot of players with refugee backgrounds and all that feels good and important. But let's not forget who actually won here: Egypt. And they didn't just win--they walked away from a penalty shootout heartbreaker for Australia.

So maybe we should start talking about how it's not always about diversity or feel-good narratives when you're on the losing end. And don't get me started on the controversy that came with this game. Fans were already pissed before Egypt scored, and then some of them felt like the refs made a mockery out of the whole thing.

That's not exactly the spirit of unity and togetherness you're trying to promote here. You know what else is diverse? The ways in which people are going to call this a loss for Australia no matter how many feel-good stories you want to tell about the squad's backgrounds.

So, let me ask: when do you think it's okay to ignore the actual outcome of a game and focus only on some vague concept of diversity as a victory? Because it sure seems like that's what you're doing here.
