Sports highlights

Sam Cane reached a major milestone, playing his 100th Test for the All Blacks at Sky Stadium in Wellington. That match was the final home Test of the season and carried weight for fan morale — the All Blacks hadn’t won there for six years, so the game felt like more than just a personal milestone.

In club football, Erling Haaland avoided punishment after throwing the ball at Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães following a late equaliser. VAR reviewed the incident and decided it didn’t meet the threshold for violent conduct, so Haaland stayed in the clear while the moment kept headlines buzzing.

Another Premier League story: Crystal Palace and Manchester United played out a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park on 21 September 2024. The goalless result underlined issues for both sides — Palace defended well, United struggled to break them down.

Tennis fans saw a major upset when Emma Navarro knocked out defending US Open champion Coco Gauff in the fourth round at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Navarro won 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 and now moves into the quarterfinals, altering the tournament picture.

Jessica Fox also grabbed headlines after Paris 2024, with Sam Kerr calling her one of the greatest ever. Fox’s double gold in canoe events makes her a clear standout in Olympic sport this season.

Politics, culture and other big reads

International politics stayed sharp: Poland charged three Belarusians over the 2021 forced diversion of a Ryanair flight to Minsk, the event that led to Roman Protasevich’s arrest and a wave of EU sanctions. That case keeps the spotlight on Belarus-EU tensions.

In the U.S., former New York official Linda Sun was charged as an alleged illegal agent of China. The charges include claims she used her position to influence policy and block Taiwanese contacts — a reminder of how local politics can intersect with global influence issues.

Entertainment fans discovered an Easter egg in HBO’s The Penguin — an interactive QR code pointing toward a Batman connection and sparking fan theories about Arkham and the Riddler. It’s a neat example of how shows now use cross-media puzzles to deepen engagement.

On the business side of sport, Tony Godsick and John McEnroe discussed the 2024 Laver Cup and how innovation and partnerships are reshaping tennis. Their take highlighted both the commercial angles and how events try to stay fresh for fans.

Finally, football culture had a lighter moment when Borussia Dortmund playfully mocked Inter Milan’s new third kit on social media, showing how merchandising and banter drive fan chatter beyond the pitch.
