And the honour of #Flight1000✈️ goes to … @Delta from @ATLairport to @flystl! (DL1393, Sep 28) Now if only @Flighty could recognise Sempati Air in their database so my airline count can be corrected to 50 🥺

"Somehow I was going to proof that women could do anything, and soccer was my way." As a true trailblazer and advocate for female referees across the world, Kari continues to lead the way.

Across a 30 year career, she became the first and only referee to officiate at 4 Fifa World Cups and 3 Olympic games. Today, she continues the work to inspire and train the next generation of officials. Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Kari Seitz!

I fly back from the US for the Perth #Ashes Test - over in two days. I come back again for Christmas, Boxing Day Test (albeit watching on TV) - over in two days. Sorry if I’m the jinx to your finances @CricketAus. But rest assured, I’m leaving the country on New Year’s Day!

Congratulations to Steve Olson, the latest recipient of U.S. Soccer’s Eddie Pearson Award. Mr. Olson’s 30+ years of dedicated service as a referee at the amateur, professional and international level, as well as his time as an administrator were recognized last week during National Referee Coaches Camp in Orlando.
